Description
Within a year of FDR taking office, two seismic events would transform the political landscape: a nationwide outbreak of labor unrest, particularly the spread of a new and potent union weapon, the sit-down strike, and FDR’s launching of a scheme to overhaul the Supreme Court would combine to generate a fierce public backlash that tarnished Roosevelt’s mystique and drained the lifeblood from the New Deal.

Book, Princeton University Press, 2002
Description
Beginning there, Lichtenstein takes us all the way to the organizing fever of contemporary Los Angeles, where the labor movement stands at the center of the effort to transform millions of new immigrants into alert citizen unionists. The labor movement was therefore tragically unprepared for the years of Reagan and Clinton: although technological change and a new era of global economics battered the unions, their real failure was one of ideas and political will.
