Meet the author of "one of the best books in years on the labor
movement" at Monday’s Labor Council meeting. St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter
Philip Dine, whose labor reporting has been nominated twice for a Pulitzer
Prize, will discuss his new book "State of the Unions: How Labor Can Strengthen
the Middle Class, Improve Our Economy and Regain Political Influence" at the
meeting, where copies will also be available for sale and autographing. The
Bricklayers call Dine’s book "a must read for anyone concerned about the
future of our country," CWA says it’s "packed with colorful anecdotes and
careful research" and Congressman Chris Van Hollen termed it "a masterful job."
