University of Illinois Press Purple Power
Book SynopsisChartered in 1921, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is a worldwide organization that represents more than two million workers in occupations from healthcare and government service to custodians and taxi drivers. Women form more than half the membership while people in minority groups make up approximately forty percent. Luís LM Aguiar and Joseph A. McCartin edit essays on one of contemporary labor’s bedrock organizations. The contributors explore key episodes, themes, and features in the union’s recent history and evaluate SEIU as a union with global aspirations and impact. The first section traces the SEIU’s growth in the last and current centuries. The second section offers in-depth studies of key campaigns in the United States, including the Justice for Janitors and Fight for $15 movements. The third section focuses on the SEIU’s work representing low-wage workers in Canada, Australia, Europe, and Brazil. An interview with Justice foTrade Review"Louis Aguiar and Joseph McCartin have assembled a collection of laudatory essays, by labor-oriented academics, on SEIU’s history as a healthcare, public employee, and service sector union, how it developed signature campaigns among janitors and fast food workers, and then promoted its ‘organizing model’ among labor federations abroad." --BeyondChron“A very stimulating read. The book’s multidisciplinary approach brings together a wide range of perspectives that increase the level of insight into the SEIU and the broader issue of labor organizing for precarious workers. It also highlights the complexity of the SEIU and challenges commentators who unquestionably praise the union’s role in the U.S. labor movement, or dismiss it.”--Greg Patmore, author of Innovative Consumer Co-operatives: The Rise and Fall of BerkeleyTable of ContentsAcknowledgments 1 Seeing Purple: An Introduction to the History and Global Significance of SEIU Joseph A.

Princeton University Press A Republic of Equals
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Superb."---David Brooks, New York Times"A searching examination of the decline of democratic ideals in the face of inequality—racial, political, and economic. It is also striking on many counts, including its fluency in several branches of the social sciences beyond economics. The author resists easy characterization. There's something to ponder on every page. A sometimes-daunting but essential addition to the discussion of inequality and its remedies." * Kirkus Reviews *"The book contains many surprises documented with scholarly research and statistical analyses. The fact that Rothwell is principal economist at Gallup and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution makes his approach and conclusions even more valuable—even if I don’t always agree with him. I am not sure he will succeed selling the value of free markets to the left or, for that matter, to the right, but his book is well worth reading if one wants to think seriously about equality and inequality."---Pierre Lemieux, EconLib"This book is necessary, interesting, and at times surprising." * Choice *
