Who's Got the Power

Praise for Who’s Got the Power?“If American democracy survives MAGA, the critical difference will be our labor unions. Dave Kamper’s book explains why. Witty, uncluttered, and, when need be, acerbic, it is the most useful book in decades about what the labor movement is and why it matters.”—Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America “The American labor movement is used to weathering ups and downs but the past few years have seen an exciting resurgence in an enthusiasm, audacity, and militancy among workers in many industries. Veteran organizer and labor historian Dave Kamper is happy to explain why in this thoughtful, clear-eyed analysis. As he writes, solidarity is a choice—and as he illustrates here with hope and fire, more and more workers are choosing to fight, together, for what they deserve.”—Kim Kelly, author of Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor “The best overview of the recent labor upsurge we have yet seen. This will remain a must-read as the movement advances into the future.”—Erik Loomis, author of A History of America in Ten Strikes
