Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Well-researched and convincingly argued,
Divided Unions is timely in its coverage of private- and public-sector labor over a period of nearly eighty years. I can think of no other book that comes close to accomplishing what Alexis N. Walker has accomplished." * Joseph E. Slater, University of Toledo College of Law *
"
Divided Unions offers a persuasive argument about the impact of federalism and geography on public sector unions that is sorely needed in current public discourse." * David B. Robertson, University of Missouri-St. Louis *
