Union Hypocrisy Book Tour

Union Hypocrisy multiple facets of Unions in today’s world.  It explores how unions’ react to their own staff trying to form a union in Book One.  In Book Two the book looks at a variety of circumstances where different unions go against what would be best for their membership.  Books Three and Four touch on the unions’ history and their interaction with the political parties as well as what happened to bring the unions from the day of George Meaney, the avid anti-communist AFL-CIO leader of the fifties to Richard Trumka, the current president, whose selection was praised by the Communist Party of the United States.  It also introduces those who promote themselves in public as working class defenders, but lacks such commitment behind closed doors.

See What Reviewers Have To Say

This is a fascinating, powerful book, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Personally, I have heard of some of the shenanigans unions have pulled, but the content of this manuscript is a real eye-opener—especially for readers like me who have been generally supportive of unions.

The information you present is very compelling and told in a compelling way. I also think it is the right length: long enough to present all the content, short enough to keep readers’ interest!

Your manuscript quite effectively achieves your goal of illuminating the various ways in which unions do the opposite of what they have promised their members. You provide enough and a sufficient variety of examples to convince the reader that your view is quite valid.

I love how you started the book with your prologue. What an excellent way that is to illustrate your main point. That had a powerful impact on me—as I suspect it will on your readers.

I really enjoyed the tone of voice you use in this book. Your sarcasm, when you use it, is delightful. I also enjoyed the cleverness of some of your passages, using images that enliven the text. One example: The unions are not only the ground force of the left movement, but the ATM as well.

Your manuscript is clearly well-researched, which gives it a lot of impact.
