Eric Blanc’s new book, We Are the Union, shows that recent struggles from Starbucks, to Amazon, to southern auto, have developed a new organizing model — worker-to-worker unionism — which builds scalable power by giving rank-and-filers an unprecedented degree of leadership. As UAW president Shawn Fain puts it, "We Are the Union is an urgently needed blueprint for how we beat the billionaire class. Every worker should read this book." Speakers include: Eric Blanc (Author), Alex Press (Jacobin), Tyrick Pollard (Amazon worker organizer), and a Starbucks worker leader (TBD) Event co-sponsors: NYC-DSA, Jacobin, NYC-EWOC, and Debt Collective. Copies of We Are the Union will be available for purchase at the event. Sign up here for a We Are the Union reading group with DSA, EWOC, and Organizing for Power, starting Monday, 3/3. https://actionnetwork.org/events/we-are-the-union-book-launch-nyc
