Across several decades, Alpert authored several pamphlets, some self-published, on labor unions and organizing. This one is based on the author’s personal experience with labor organizing, first as a factory worker and later as a social worker. It offers a framework for organizing workplaces, negotiating contracts, and dialoguing with management. He writes, “Open dialogue freely joined by all who desire is the middle-class insurgent’s most devastating weapon.”
