Doing any job properly requires the right tools. And when the job is building and strengthening your union, you can rely on Labor Educator publications for the greatest impact at the lowest possible cost.

Currently available booklets include Why Unions Are Good For You and Your Family (published in both English and Spanish), Why Unions Are in Politics, The Making of Ideal Union Leaders and The Making of Ideal Union Members. Hundreds of union locals, central labor councils and internationals are using them in organizing campaigns and to educate members.

Another booklet, The ‘Palace Revolution’ That Changed the AFL-CIO, is a behind-the-scenes report on the events leading up to the 1995 convention at which John Sweeney defeated Lane Kirkland in the first contested elections for top officers since the AFL and the CIO merged. It also analyzes Sweeney’s subsequent record.

Belong and Be Strong: The Union Story for Students, is designed to inform high school and college students about the constructive role unions have played in our society for more than a century.

Harry Kelber, founder and editor, has devoted his entire adult life to the labor movement as an organizer, strike leader, union printer, labor editor, pamphleteer, professor of labor studies and author of several books and booklets.
