Abstract

The book "Troublemaking: Why You Should Organize Your Workplace" by Lydia Hughes and Jamie Woodcock explores the recent surge in worker unionization drives and strike activity in the US. The authors provide examples of successful worker organizing campaigns and offer a primer on Marxist theories. They emphasize the importance of workplace struggles in creating a more democratic future and provide guiding principles for concrete worker organizing activities. While the book focuses on workers organizing in their workplaces, it does not fully consider broader social movements or the structural issues facing capitalism in the 21st century. Overall, "Troublemaking" is a valuable resource for workers looking to organize themselves and offers hope for those already dissenting. [Extracted from the article]
