| Abstract

"Highly acclaimed and widely read, American Workers, American Unions (first published in 1986 and revised in 1994) provides a concise and compelling history of American workers and their unions in twentieth-century America. This new edition features a new chapter on labor's development prior to the 1920s, as well as an entirely new final chapter that takes a detailed look at the challenges faced by workers in the 1980s, 1990s, and the early twenty-first century. Also included in this third edition is new bibliographical material and a regularly updated on-line link to an extended bibliographical essay."--Jacket.
