The Unfinished Struggle is one of the most concise,
comprehensive, and accessible histories of the modern
American labor movement ever written. Labor scholar and
activist Steve Babson's dramatic narrative examines the
numerous attempts to organize workers from the Great
Uprising of 1877 to the sitdown strikes of the 1930s to the
present day. Babson illuminates the tumultuous past,
evolving agenda, and continuing conflicts of the labor
movement. He carefully identifies the causes of labor's
decline in recent decades and explains union leaders'
attempts to revive their organizations. Most important,
Babson shows readers how the fortunes of organized labor
are
tied to larger trends in American history.
