'A wide-ranging and well-informed appraisal of the possibilities and limitations of labor and employment law in establishing effective collective voice for employees in diverse 21st century workplaces.' Robert Flanagan, Professor Emeritus, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University. 'In a period of increased approval of labor unions among American adults and increased income inequality between the rich and poor and black and white, the veteran labor lawyer, former NLRB chair and distinguished law professor, William B. Gould IV has advocated the need for more workplace democracy. To achieve this important goal, he has provided valuable insights for wide ranging labor law reform, but he has demonstrated that the labor movement is ossified and needs to become more serious about investing in organizing with the kind of financial commitment that was seen in the 1930's to counter the militant opposition of management.' Joel A. D'Alba, Chair of the American Bar Association Section of Labor and Employment Law 2013-14 'Another gem of a book on labor and employment law from the remarkable William Gould. Will be of interest to anyone concerned with the current legal, political and economic environments surrounding workers' rights and protections. The chapters on the gig economy, racial discrimination, professional sports, and the pandemic are especially useful, as are the historical review of how labor declined and what can be done now.' Michael Reich, Professor, University of California, Berkeley
