FORT WRIGHT, Ky., July 27, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- No matter how much globalization could change the world, labor unions will keep fighting hard for their interests until the bitter end.
In America, labor unions stand on the precipice of extinction. Their membership numbers have never been lower, their inability to organize new members has caused a painful conflict within the labor movement...a conflict that has both divided and energized Big Labor. Recently, employers have been besieged by them and in order to survive, they have no choice but to be fully aware of the insidious tactics used by labor unions. With the release of the new book Unions...Between the Dog and the Tree, veteran author William Adams, Ph.D., shares with readers an honest analysis of unions in America.
Unions...Between the Dog and the Tree is an in-depth look at labor unions, their failures, their tactics, their future and how employers (unwittingly) and the government assist their efforts. It examines the reasons why unions have failed as an organization (including internal strife and conflicts of interests) and what employers need to do to prevent a renaissance from happening. Told from a tactician's point of view, this book will give readers a clear understanding of the conflict between unions and employers...what each side stands for, who their allies in government are and how society is affected by them.
Quick and easy to read, Unions...Between the Dog and the Tree is now available for purchasing online at Xlibris.com, Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and at your local bookstore. Buy a copy now.
