Jack Getman's comprehensive study of the hotel workers union gave me new appreciation of an organization that has indeed tried to change to win. Restoring union power takes more than just rhetoric and top-down restructuring. It requires long-term workplace and community-based struggles, for bargaining rights and better contracts, of the sort brilliantly described in Getman's book. --Steve Early, former CWA organizer and author of Embedded With Organized Labor: Journalistic Reflections on the Class War at Home --Steve Early

Restoring the Power of Unions is a valuable book for all who wish to understand the prospects for American unions. It is candid, well researched, and well written. Jack Getman also provides cogent recommendations for how to restore the power of that important institution. --Ray Marshall, The University of Texas --Ray Marshall
