add to cart   close window

The article discusses the state of the U.S. labor movement and labor law reform, and whether labor can revive the American Dream before it is crushed by U.S. corporate interests. The author describes how businesses such as Wal-Mart Inc. are blaming labor unions for causing the automobile industry to falter, and are attempting to stop legislation like the U.S. Employee Free Choice Act which was supported by U.S. President-elect Barack Obama.
