## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Informative and entertaining
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2011*

I just finished this book and really enjoyed it.  I am a law student who is very interested in labor law and this book provided me with a good overview of labor history and a realistic perspective on the fight that labor faces going forward.  It also does all of that in an entertaining way.  The author is very honest, which of course is necessary if a book is going to hold anyone's attention.  The book is not a "rah rah labor" book.  The author is not shy about showing how labor is sometimes its own worst enemy and the outlook isn't exactly bright.  But, like MLK said, the truth shall set you free and anything worth having is worth fighting for.  Read this book and get the scoop on labor in America.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Yet Depressing Read
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2011*

As other reviewers have noted, this is easily the most comprehensive and insightful contemporary book on the state of organized labor in the US. Geoghegan is a master of prose and a brilliant story teller, guiding the reader through both complex legal thought and ever more complex labor relations analysis.  As an aspiring labor attorney myself, I feel that the book was a necessary, albeit incredibly depressing, read. I recommend it to anyone who is wondering why, in a country with such a vast amount of wealth and resources, there is 10% unemployment and a fifth of the population on food stamps.

    A Complete Waste of Time
  

*by H***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2015*

I cannot believe I read the same book as all these other reviewers.  I found it boring, poorly written & lacking in any inspiration.With friends like Tom Geoghegan, the union movement was bound to fail.  Why this self-doubting guy should have become a labor lawyer is a complete mystery.  He exhibits the same obsession with self that characterizes American culture.  How can a collective organization, like a union flourish in a country where everyone, including most senior union executives, are only in it for themselves.The American workers have been screwed royally (especially by the anti-union Wagner Act) by the aggressive sociopaths who are attracted to the obscene rewards of reaching senior management positions in American corporations.The 66 page new afterword (added in 2004) is a complete waste of time, while the overall book is not worth anyone's time reading at all.
