Discussion Circle: Solidarity Divided

The U.S. trade union movement today finds itself on a global battlefield packed with landmines and littered with the bodies of various social movements. In the book Solidarity Divided, longtime union insiders and activists of color Bill Fletcher and Fernando Gapasin bring their unique perspectives to the problems now facing U.S. labor in this remarkable mix of vivid history and probing analysis.

Enter into this discussion group, which boldly examines how to integrate unions with the broader social justice movement. We meet weekly, but feel free to drop- in whenever you can. Sessions are held in the upstairs room at Café Allegro, 4214 University Way NE in Seattle's U-District. The entrance is in the alley between University & 15th Ave NE. On the #48 or #73 bus lines.
