The Art of Organizing
Author: Michael Raysson
Synopsis: When a new, heartless administration took over the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the director began taking away benefits that the museum guards had enjoyed for years. The boss even took away their chairs. That’s when the workers began to whisper the word: “Union.” After a long, hard-fought battle, the workers won their election and became proud union members. But in time, they realized that the International was corrupt and in the back pocket of the museum owners. Now the workers faced the toughest battle in labor: to quietly mount a campaign that would vote out the corrupt union and vote in a new independent one before the International could take over the local. It was a one-in-a-thousand chance. It was a chance they had to take.

“What gives Raysson’s telling of this story added meaning is that he provides a level of personal detail too often lacking in accounts of union building. This isn’t the story of glorious victories or tragic defeats, rather it is the story of everyday integrity and decency, the true bedrocks of unionism.”
