DESCRIPTION:Book Reception with\n\nBill Fletcher, Jr.\n\nSolidarity Divided\n\nThe 
 Crisis in Organized Labor and a New Path toward Social Justice\n\n \n\nJoin 
 long-time labor and social justice activist Bill Fletcher, Jr. for a 
 reception and discussion of his new book. Co-authored with Fernando 
 Gapasin, Solidarity Divided is a critical examination of the global 
 battlefield labor finds itself struggling on today. Fletcher and Gapasin 
 chart changes in U.S. manufacturing, examine the onslaught of 
 globalization, consider the influence of the environment on labor, and 
 provide the first broad analysis of the fallout from the 2000 and 2004 
 elections on the U.S. labor movement. Their experiences as activists of 
 color grant them a unique vantage on the problems now facing U.S. labor and 
 enable them to envision a plan for a bold new way forward into the 
 twenty-first century.\n\n \n \nBill Fletcher, Jr., co-founder of the Center 
 for Labor Renewal, is a columnist and long-time activist. He served as 
 President of TransAfrica Forum and was formerly the Education Director and 
 later Assistant to the President of the AFL-CIO.\n\n \n\n
