The book "Not Your Father's
Union Movement", edited by Jo-Ann Mort, is comprised of eighteen articles covering many of the central issues in the
changing world of union activism. The paper shows that the main argument of the book is that the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) has undergone complete reorganization to meet the needs of working families in a changing economy and also to rebuild the critical link in fighting for worker's rights in a progressive and egalitarian America.
