If you ever needed a self-defense manual on the job to assert your rights against abuses by the boss, Labor Notes can supply it. A Troublemaker¹s Handbook 2, How to Fight Back Where You Work and Win! is designed to empower workers looking for tactics to win justice on the job. Editor Jane Slaughter says more than seventy authors tell their stories and share their expertise on collective tactics workers anywhere can use.

[Jane Slaughter 1]: "It's a collection of examples of people who have done just that. People who in their own workplaces - usually through their unions although not always - have used all sorts of tactics to keep management from doing things like speeding them up, privatizing their jobs."

The struggle for power at the workplace, Slaughter says is about more than money and working conditions. It¹s about who makes society¹s most fundamental decisions that govern our lives.

"We at Labor Notes hope that it will encourage people that they can take some measure of control over their working lives."

Labor Notes hopes this book will inspire workers everywhere to organize, fight back and win.
