useful. It's about time someone has written a manual for organizers." Thomas Mulholland Business Representative Insulators Local 2

Bill Guthrie Business Agent UA Local 393 Plumbers, Steamfitters, and Refrigeration Fitters "Great news, I just found out this evening that I got the organizing position.

Council Representative LA/OC Building Trades Council "This is pure meat and potatoes! It’s exactly the book I wish someone had given me when I started organizing." Matt Kolbinsky Pro-Union Consulting LLC
an indispensable tool to acquiring the know-how necessary to be an effective union activist." Eddie Gering Organizer, Las Vegas, NV
high-payoff guide to successful organizing, look no further! Brother Bob Oedy has long “walked the talk,” kept the Faith, lived the Dream, and, best of all scored numerous successes as a creative union organizer." "Shortly after joining the IBEW in 1988, and thanks in part to his many courses at the Meany Center, Bob began championing forward-thinking organizing techniques (like the use of safety language). Also, improvements in familiar techniques (like follow-up mailings). Also experiments with daring techniques (like covert salts). Also creative outreach (overlooked opportunities to gain union market share)." "His anecdotes from years of personal experience are spot on. His advice, the best available. And his optimism about Labor’s near-future prospects contagious and energizing." "This outstanding book belongs in the hands of every business manager, local president, E-Board member, and organizer – open and read and re-read – not back on the bookshelf. It may yet prove one of the critical tools in the overdue revival of America’s greatest social movements – and not a day too soon!"
