- Summary:
- This interesting volume on union organization in the health care industry provides a firsthand look at efforts to organize a Catholic hospital in Santa Rosa, California, and explores the ways in which combining moral and ethical concerns with practical union demands eventually led to success for the Service Employees Union. The work looks at how this emphasis on larger issues of moral rectitude and compassion could be more broadly implemented in general labor organizing practices. Reich is a graduate researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
