RESOURCES FOR LABOR LEADERS

by John Ryan, President, Cleveland AFL-CIO

A Troublemaker's Handbook -- Second Edition -- is now available from Labor Notes. The book provides real-life advice on how to build power in the workplace, including the use of community campaigns with the involvement of central labor councils and Jobs with Justice. Clevelander Steve Cagan is featured in this collection of stories and success stories.

A Troublemaker's Handbook gives important advice on how to build a member-to-member network, enforce contract language with job actions, getting your message out to the media, winning good first contracts and training new leaders.

At only $24, A Troublemaker's Handbook is a great buy. It makes a nice gift for activists within your union and should be in every union hall. For only $6 more, both editions (both very different) can be purchased. Looking at how complete this book is, the only problem I have with it is it should be called The Troublemaker's Handbook. You can buy this publication and other resources through Labor Notes.
