Eric Dirnback at Labor Notes reports every few years a book comes out that tries to explain what’s happening in the Labor Movement and maybe cheer us up from the bad news of Union decline. Dave Kamper’s new book - Who’s Got the Power: The Resurgence of American Unions, does the job. And it’s packed with insights about Unions and organizing drawn from key Labor events during the Covid-19 Pandemic era. Kamper is a long-time Union Organizer and analyst of the Labor Movement, whose articles tell some hard-to-hear truths about Labor. In Who’s Got the Power, Kamper says we are seeing the biggest Union upsurge in 50 years. “Again and again,” he writes, “Workers turn in the direction of solidarity, taking on corporations and bosses with purpose and commitment.” In the case studies that are the heart of the book, Kamper describes the surprising boldness and imagination Workers have shown in this era.
