Mutual Aid and Union Renewal presents a strong case that unions have essentially lost the battle for the hearts and minds of the rank and file. The core of the problem, as Bacharach and colleagues argue, is that American labor no longer commands legitimacy from its membership. . . . Mutual Aid and Union Renewal draws creatively on labor's past to address its possible future. It is a fresh and original perspective, sure to stimulate considerable discussion and debate over the direction of American labor in the critical years ahead. -Howard Kimeldorf, University of Michigan, Contemporary Sociology, November 2002
