One that you might like is Class Struggle Unionism by Joe Burns.

Class Struggle Unionism is the belief that our union struggle exists within a larger struggle

between an exploiting billionaire class and the working class which actually produces

the goods and services in society.

Drawing on years of labor organizing and study of labor tradition,

Joe Burns outlines the key set of ideas common to Class Struggle Unionism

and shows how these ideas can create a more militant, democratic, and fighting labor movement.

As Sarah Nelson puts it, there is nothing more essential for the resurgence of the labor movement

than cutting through the racial, social, gender, and political divisions driven by the corporate class

to deny working class power and keep workers in competition with each other.

Class Struggle Unionism not only defines the urgency of our common struggle,

it's a textbook on how to organize around our common demands, right where we work,

in order to build a movement strong enough to realize an inclusive economy and thriving democracy.

That's Sarah Nelson.
