The Grievance, Itâs In Our Hands
In his poem âThe Grievance, Itâs Out of My Hands,â Martin Glaberman lays bare the dead end of business unionism. He traces the life of a workplace grievance as it leaves the workerâs hands, passes âŚ

The labor movement isnât just weak, itâs approaching an event horizon: the point at which unions become so small they lose the political, cultural, and institutional mass to successfully reverse their own decline. đ§ľ

Unions Are Going to Die Unless Something Big Changes Soon
The labor movement isnât just the weakest itâs been in a century. Without a radical and aggressive shift in organizing, US unions could effectively cease to matter in the very near future.
