Abstract: This introductory article provides European readers with a succinct review of the organisation and activity of trade unions in the US. It also provides an analytical framework within which some of the strategic options available to US trade unions in the new millennium may be analysed. Three options are addressed: ‘reform for competitive advantage', ‘associational unionism’ and an adversarial ‘social-movement strategy'.
