Reviews

Michael Oswalt, Northern Illinois University College of Law, coauthor of Labor Law in the Contemporary Workplace:

"Re-Union is a wonderfully conceived, researched, and argued book. David Madland has produced a genuinely impressive up-to-the moment manual on the past, comparative, and present trajectory of US labor unions and policies."
