Restoring Voice at Work and in Society

Thomas A. Kochan

Chapter 3 in America at Work, 2006, pp 37-52 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is probably fair to assume that the authors and background researchers involved in the original Work in America report shared a view that a strong, independent, and forward looking labor movement is critical to a democratic society. Unfortunately, three decades later, America is questioning this assumption. Since the publication of Work in America, the labor movement has declined in membership density and power to the point where it is no longer able, despite its best efforts, to provide workers and their families with an influential voice in the affairs that affect their most vital interests.
