Love Both Keep Both

Ron Carey and the Teamsters
Probes the enduring impact, and devastating fall, of one of the greatest union organizers of the 20th century In this riveting account, retired UPS driver and unionist, Ken Reiman, gives us the first in-depth portrait of Ron Carey as he rose from a local union officer in the mid-1960s, to president of what was, in 1991, the largest labor union in the United States. For many years, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was one of this country's most corrupt unions, with close ties to organized crime. Hundreds of officers drew enormous salaries while doing no work. Pension funds were drained to build Las Vegas casinos. Ultimately many Teamster leaders were either sent to prison or killed....
Save Our Unions
Save Our Unions: Dispatches From A Movement in Distress brings together recent essays and reporting by labor journalist Steve Early. The author illuminates the challenges facing U.S. workers, whether they’re trying to democratize their union, win a strike, defend past contract gains, or bargain with management for the first time. Drawing on forty years of personal experience, Early writes about cross-border union campaigning, labor strategies for organizing and health care reform, and political initiatives that might lessen worker dependence on the Democratic Party. Save Our Unions contains vivid portraits of rank-and-file heroes and heroines, both well-known and unsung. It takes readers to union conventions and funerals, strikes and picket-lines, celebrations of labor’s past and struggles to insure that unions still have a future in the 21st century. The book’s insight, analysis and advocacy make this an important contribution to the project of labor revitalization and reform.

Maailmassa on tapahtunut paljon erehdyksiä, joita ei enää luulisi lapsenkaan tekevän. Miten koukeroisia, etäisiä, kapeita, hankalia, kauas syrjään vieviä polkuja ihmiskunta onkaan kulkenut, pyrkiessään ikuisen totuuden perille, vaikka sen edessä on ollut suora tie, leveä kuin käytävä, joka johtaa ruhtinaan loistavaan palatsiin. Se on leveämpi ja upeampi kaikkia muita teitä, aurinko siihen paistaa ja yöllä tulet sitä valaisevat, mutta ohi tämän suoran tien ihmiset ovat kulkeneet synkässä pimeydessä. Monta kertaa heidät on ohjannut taivaista tullut valaistus oikealle tolalle, mutta sittenkin he ovat hairahtuneet ja eksyneet syrjään, saattaneet joutua keskellä kirk...
