Attempts to reform labour law have fallen short because labour is caught in a political box: To achieve reform, labor needs the political power that comes from expanding union membership; to grow, however, unions need labour law reform. This volume lays out the case for a new approach, one that takes the issue beyond the confines of labour law by amending the Civil Rights Act so that it prohibits discrimination against workers trying to organise a union.
