Unions of Our Own

An unorthodox, irreverent, and battle-tested strategy for workers to leverage the power we already have 

We know how our workplaces should be, but they’re changing for the worse. We know how we want the world to be too, but billionaires are doing their best to make things fall apart. 

In Unions of Our Own, veteran labor organizer and co-founder of the IWW Starbucks Workers Union Daniel Gross provides a radical, step-by-step framework for workers who want to fight for the better workplaces they’ve always envisioned—and dream of bigger changes, too. In a world teeming with union-busters and bad bosses, Daniel Gross reveals the eight building blocks needed to build a sustainable labor union that can actually stand up for workers’ needs.

Through practical tools and real-world examples, Unions of Our Own is an actionable, inspiring, and confidence-boosting handbook on how to win the workplace—and the world—we all deserve.
