LABOR LAW FOR THE RANK&FILER:

BUILDING SOLIDARITY WHILE STAYING CLEAR OF THE LAW

By STAUGHTON LYND&DANIEL GROSS

“Workers’ rights are under attack on every front. Bosses break the law every day. For 30 years Labor Law for the Rank and Filer has been arming workers with an introduction to their legal rights (and the limited means to enforce them) while reminding everyone that real power comes from workers’ solidarity.”

—Alexis Buss, former General Secretary-Treasurer, Industrial Workers of the World

“As valuable to working persons as any hammer, drill, stapler, or copy machine, Labor Law for the Rank and Filer is a damn fine tool empowering workers who struggle to realize their basic dignity in the workplace while living through an era of unchecked corporate greed. Smart, tough, and optimistic, Staughton Lynd and Daniel Gross provide nuts and bolts information to realize on-the-job rights while showing us that another world is not only possible but inevitable.”

—John Philo, Legal Director, Maurice and Jane Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice

“Some things are too important to leave to so called ‘experts’: our livelihoods, our dignity and our rights. In this book, Staughton Lynd and Daniel Gross have provided us with a very necessary, empowering, and accessible tool for protecting our own rights as workers.”

—Nicole Schulman, co-editor, Wobblies!A Graphic History and World War 3 Illustrated
