Class Struggle Unionism
Book • 2022
Joe Burns' Class Struggle Unionism argues for a militant, democratic form of unionism that centers working-class power and direct workplace action.
The book draws on historical and contemporary examples to show how fighting unions can rebuild mass working-class organization.
Burns emphasizes rank-and-file leadership, solidarity tactics, and political education as central tools for revitalizing labor.
He lays out practical strategies for building powerful unions that challenge capitalist power structures rather than merely negotiating within them.
The work serves as both a manifesto and a practical manual for organizers seeking transformative workplace and social change.
