The Workerist Manifesto

  The Workerist Manifesto About the Book The average American private sector worker produces about $200,000 worth of goods or services a year…. but only gets paid $35,000 in gross pre tax wages in return (in a country where you need to make $100,000 a year to support a family of 4 at a middle income standard of living). Why does this country’s 161 million strong working class continue to tolerate that? This book sets out to answer that question. iUniverse

Craft at the Crossroads: The Future of the Building Trades

  Craft at the Crossroads: The Future of the Building Trades       by Independent Labor Club of NYC 414 Broadway New York, NY Saturday, October 17  •  3 PM - 6 PM We’d like to examine what ways individuals within construction might contribute to the task of building a vital and inclusive labor movement. What are the major impediments to unionization in the field? What do politicians promise and what can they actually deliver? Has the craft union form outlived its usefulness? How can we imagine overcoming it? The goal of this assembly isn’t just education, it’s also outreach to an essential sector of the working class usually ignored by the left.
