Paperback, 36 Pages: Legendary legal scholar Staughton Lynd and labor organizer Daniel Gross lay out a bold case for solidarity unionism—a DIY approach to workplace organizing led by workers themselves, not outside officials. Drawing on the experiences of Starbucks workers and other rank-and-file efforts, they show how coworkers can organize independently and take direct action to improve conditions, without waiting for traditional trade unions to step in. Combining history, theory, and on-the-ground examples, Labor Law for the Rank and Filer illustrates how solidarity unionism is gaining traction across industries. It’s democratic, resilient, and effective—so much so that corporate lobbyists now warn against what they call “the Starbucks problem”: the risk of workers organizing themselves.
