DESCRIPTION:Solidarity Divided: The Crisis in Organized Labor and a New Path toward 
 Social Justice \n\nJoin long-time labor and social justice activist Bill 
 Fletcher, Jr. for a reception and discussion of his new book, Solidarity 
 Divided: The Crisis in Organized Labor and a New Path toward Social 
 Justice. 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\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\nSponsored by the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and 
 Education and the Center for Political Education.\n\n\n
