Publisher's Synopsis
Class, Bureaucracy and the Union-Form is an exposition on all aspects of the trade union question: from the demands for higher wages and shorter working hours to the October Revolution; from Samuel Gompers to Amadeo Bordiga.Through the retelling of the violent history of struggle between capital and labor, in those episodes where the workers gave as good as they got, we find the kernel where Marxist theory, revolutionary experience and the practical needs of working-class people become one: "Pay your union dues, and great things will probably happen"
