Punching out
Book • 1971
Martin Glaberman's Punching Out collects his reflections and analyses of shop-floor struggles and rank-and-file organizing in mid-20th-century North America.
Written from the perspective of a labor activist, the pamphlet emphasizes workers' self-organization, the limitations of bureaucratic unions, and the importance of grassroots solidarity.
Glaberman draws on historical examples and personal experience to argue for organizing tactics rooted in workplaces themselves rather than top-down approaches.
His writing influenced later debates about rank-and-file unionism and remains a touchstone for organizers seeking practical lessons.
The pamphlet's concise, direct style makes it accessible to activists and students of labor history alike.
