Contemporary Labor Issues Bibliography
For a list of all of Kim Scipes’ publications since 1984–both in the most recent published form and by specific subjects–please visit Dr. Scipes’ publications. (This includes the entire free manuscript of Dr. Scipes’ 1996 book, KMU: Building Genuine Trade Unionism in the Philippines, 1980-1994.)
Latest update: December 27, 2023.
There are two main sections to this website:
General Labor Information, with highlights information/articles/resources of interest to me; and the official Contemporary Labor Issues Bibliography, which includes the most detailed collection of rank-and-file focused material in existence and is organized by subject.
(It is not complete: additions requested to make it more complete.) Please feel free to share and pass it on.
Before the Contemporary Labor Issues Bibliography, there are two sections of importance:
- Collections Referred to Herein
- Overall Global Social Context
Within the Contemporary Labor Issues Bibliography, there are three sections:
- SECTION 1, Changes in the US Labor Movement
- SECTION 2, Effects of Industrial and Economic Restructuring on Labor and Working People
- SECTION 3, Workers around the World, with information on workers of a number of countries
General Labor Information
These are issues of interest to me and are idiosyncratic (to say the least). I’ve kept older issues alive here, just in case someone seeks to find something online. There’s a lot to think about here, should you be so interested.
Books Written, Edited or Compiled by Kim Scipes
New Book Compiled by Dr. Scipes:
This is a series of articles written by Dr. Scipes between 1985 and 2020, and joined in this book to present his research and thinking in one accessible volume. Some were published in obscure, no longer available journals; some were published only on the internet; and some have never been published.
2016. New book edited by Dr. Scipes:
Building Global Labor Solidarity in a Time of Accelerating Globalization
With contributions from David Bacon, Bruno Dobrusin, Jenny Jungehuelsing, Katherine Nastovski, Timothy Ryan, Kim Scipes and Michael Zweig.
2010. New book written by Dr. Scipes:
AFL-CIO’s Secret War against Developing Country Workers: Solidarity or Sabotage?
A historically-based analysis of the AFL and later AFL-CIO’s foreign policy program, beginning in the very late 1800s-early 1900s. It brings things up to 2007 and provides case studies of AFL-CIO’s regional organizations and their operations in Chile (the early 1970s), the Philippines (late 1980s), and Venezuela (early 2000s).
Includes a discussion of efforts within the labor movement to end these operations, as well as a discussion of how the US government has incorporated them into its larger foreign policy.
Two extremely important books, not by Dr. Scipes, but highly recommended:
- Alfred W. McCoy. 2017. In the Shadow of the American Century: The Rise and Decline of US Global Power. Chicago: Haymarket Books. Excellent analysis! Scipes’ review online.
- Nick Turse. 2013. Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam. New York: Metropolitan Books. I have read this entire book, and it is the best book that covers the war in general that I have ever read. Highly recommended! Scipes’ review online.
Bass, George Nelson III. 2012. “Organized Labor and US Foreign Policy: The Solidarity Center in Historical Context.” Department of Political Science, Florida International University. Available free online. (Go to this page and then click on “download.”) This examines the Solidarity Center’s work, in line with traditional AFL-CIO foreign policy practices, and argues well that AFL-CIO foreign policy practices have continued under the Solidarity Center.
Smith, Jordan Michael. 2013. “The US Democracy Project.” The National Interest, May 1. This is a critical article in a conservative journal that talks about US efforts to promote “democracy” around the world–in reality, elite, top-down, CONSTRAINED, polyarchal democracy–that is worth a read.
For more details on the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), see my 2010 book, “AFL-CIO’s Secret War Against Developing Country Workers: Solidarity or Sabotage?” (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books: 96-105.) The section on NED in my book was originally published in 2005 as “An Unholy Alliance” and remains pertinent today.

Contemporary Labor Issues: Introduction
This labor bibliography was developed while developing a course on “Contemporary Labor Issues” that I had hoped to teach during the Summer Semester of 2005 at Purdue University North Central in Westville, Indiana, but I did not get sufficient enrollment to have the course. This course was going to focus on issues I believe are central to the revitalization and growth of the US labor movement. Interestingly, as word has spread about the existence of this online labor bibliography, I have had to reorganize the website somewhat to accommodate at least some of the references/suggestions I’ve received. I also include work on workers around the world. This web page has continued on and off since 2005. It was pretty strong until about 2012/13, then slowed down. Again, I hope to keep it updated fairly often over time. Please check back periodically for the latest!
As I noted before, this bibliography also grew out of an incredible frustration with labor academics—even self-identified “progressive” labor academics—who are writing on contemporary labor but who rarely examine, much less use, writings by labor activists, whether rank and filers, staff members, or leaders. I’ve tried to locate and incorporate as many of these activists’ writings as possible and make them available on a website so academics can no longer ignore them. This, however, is not complete. I have also sought to include works by academics who work with the labor movement on an ongoing basis. I ask each of you reading this to send me suggestions for other items to include—and yes, you can include your own work. Please send them to me at kscipes@pnw.edu. (Please keep them post-1995, unless you have very specific reasons why you think older material should be included, and send this with your suggestions. Also, it would help if you would suggest the subject heading under which they are placed and, if they are available on a website, the specific URL.)
For a listing of union members as a percentage of the workforce and additional data for 2004, visit here.
Ongoing publications where you can find writings by activists (along with engaged academics) include Class, Race & Corporate Power, Global Labour Journal, Labor Notes, Journal of Labor and Society [formerly known as Working USA], Labor Studies Journal, and New Labor Forum. There are specific labor-related websites, including those of the AFL-CIO, the Association for Union Democracy (AUD), the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW), the Illinois Labor History Society, the International Labor Communications Association, Labor: Studies in Working Class-Class History of the Americas; Labour Again (from the International Institute of Social History focusing on labor in Latin America); the Labor Heritage Foundation; Labor Start; Multinational Monitor, the National Labor Committee; the Northland Poster Collective; Nurses and Unions: Brownson’s Nursing Notes; Substancenews.net (a wonderful site about public education policy edited by a long-time labor activist in Chicago); Union Communications Services (excellent source of material for union stewards!); US Labor Against the War; and Wisconsin Labor History Society (and will add more as they become available). The AFL-CIO lists some international labor support organizations and international labor research institutes can be found here, but you have to scroll down toward the bottom of the page. For listings of labor websites, see this one by David Millar of the University of Victory (Canada).
A website for working-class movies.
Several organizations in the US and worldwide are organizing around sweatshops and low-wage workers in general, often in the garment and textile industries. Below are some that I now know about–more will be listed as I learn about them. Noted are their names and short descriptions, usually supplied by the group/organization itself, but sometimes summed up by me: Behind the Label (Network for Local Actions Against Sweatshops); Campaign for Labor Rights (Grassroots Mobilizing Department for the US Anti-sweatshop Movement); Committee for Asian Women (a network of 30 network members in 13 Asian countries); Clean Clothes Campaign (a European network for improving conditions in the global garment industry); Global Unions (major institutions of the global trade union movement); Jobs with Justice (Campaign for Labor Rights); Labour Start (Global labor news on a daily basis); Maquiladora Solidarity Network; Asian Workers Occupational Health, Safety and Environment Institute (a project of Global Unions); Sweatshop Watch (focuses on low-wage workers globally and nationally, but especially in California); United Students Against Sweatshops (the name says it all!); and UNITE-HERE (the major union in North American hospitality and garment industries). And don’t forget to visit the aforementioned National Labor Committee, whose slogan is “Putting a Human Face on the Global Economy.” For a fascinating–and excellent–comparison between the development of United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) of the 1960s, written by one heavily involved in SDS who looks for similarities and differences in the development of the two organizations, see the 2004 article by Robert J.S. Ross, “From Antisweatshop to Global Justice to Antiwar: How the New Left is the Same and Different From the Old New Left.”
For a collection of linked articles on the various Proposals for Restructuring the Labor Movement, including articles on the New Unity Partnership, see the Labor Notes collection here. For the best single analysis of the overall problems of the labor movement–not just a discussion about restructuring and/or dues remittances to unions organizing–see Jerry Tucker’s piece dated March 21, 2005, and titled “U.S. Labor in Crisis: The Current Internal Debate and the Role of Democracy in Its Revitalization.” (See my new section on the Chicago Convention in July 2005 and AFTERMATH to look at outcomes of the split in the AFL-CIO.)
Regarding the entries, I have not read all of them as of now, although I have read many. I’ve included sources if I’m familiar with that author’s other works and think anything by that author is worth considering. I’ve included material that I’ve seen cited favorably by others who I respect. And some simply looked interesting to me and worth checking out. Each should be read critically.
Contemporary Labor Issues
(The actual bibliography)
I have grouped materials by general subject, although I imagine some folks might quibble with placement. In any case, I have changed this bibliography to allow me more leeway in what I can include. I now have three categories, with most of the works on the first two pertaining to the US: (1) Changes in the US Labor Movement, (2) the Effects of Industrial Restructuring on Labor, and (3) Workers around the world.
Note that I do not generally refer to the Industrial Relations literature—my focus is activism from a rank and file empowerment perspective—and I do not focus on labor law: these are areas that others know much more about and focus on more intently. Also, while I do include a few historical sources, in general it is only because I think there is something specific, we can learn from the past that might be worth considering today.
NEW ADDITION: In light of the split in the AFL-CIO at and around the Chicago Convention in July 2005, I have added a number of new entries that discuss this, either in anticipation or as part of an analysis of ramifications

Global Labor Solidarity, both From the Grassroots and From Formal Organizations
NEW BOOK: Building Global Labor Solidarity: Lessons from the Philippines, South Africa, Northwestern Europe, and the United States by Kim Scipes (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, August 2020). This is a compilation of articles I have written on the subject over the years 1985-2020, grounded in my work on the KMU Labor Center of the Philippines. Includes articles published in obscure journals, now dead journals, only on the internet, and some never published at all.
NEW BOOK: Building Global Labor Solidarity in a Time of Accelerating Globalization, ed. by Kim Scipes (2016). Published by Haymarket Books in Chicago, and available at www.haymarketbooks.org/pb/Building-Global-Labor-Solidarity-in-a-Time-of-Accelerating-Globalization. This is a book unlike any other to date, and I argue that there is a lot to be learned from it. It includes chapters by (in alphabetical order) David Bacon, Bruno Dobrusin, Jenny Jungehuelsing, Katherine Nastovski, Timothy Ryan, Kim Scipes and Michael Zweig.
