The strike was a point of arrival and a process at the same time. It was the hard-fought achievement of a short- and long-term history of union organizing and a learning practice for workers across campuses, disciplines, job classifications, political affiliations, and identities. This book documents the everyday and on-the-ground making of union organizing and power building and demonstrates for organizers everywhere the lessons about the effectiveness of\u003cbr\u003e collective power cemented through worker-to-worker organizing, militant\u003cbr\u003e escalation strategies, and cross-union solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nine workers who gave lengthy testimonies for this project challenge preconceptions about the advantages and difficulties of organizing in higher education. They make insightful analyses of how being active union members transformed them personally and reshaped their approach to science and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnion organizers and other activists will find lessons and reflections on core topics for the labor movement: how to build a worker-led union, the practical meaning of democracy during mass action, dissent and unity amongst workers, and how to measure a fight's success. Within these nuanced accounts of militant organizing, everyone will find inspiration to keep collective power alive and keep fighting for a better future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53946755842381,"sku":"9798887441573","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/XQDesqn7Mj9798887441573.webp?v=1779259823","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/out-of-the-lab-into-the-street-an-oral-history-of-the-2022-uaw-strike-at-the-university-of-california-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
