In Robust Unionism, Arthur B. Shostak provides an informed survey of organized labor's innovations and adaptations in recent years. If labor is to realize its full potential in the coming decade, he contends, new strategies, modern technologies, and novel alliances are imperative. Shostak provides a wealth of case studies and anecdotes and analyses of labor's specific triumphs in a time of adversity. He argues for the necessity of learning from every success as well as every failure if organized labor is to become a politically powerful and socially dynamic agent for change.
