This is a captivating chronicle of the fifty-year 'David-Goliath' struggle between the bosses of Big Labour and Americans opposed to their coercive power. Few Americans realise their freedom to say 'no' to compulsory unionism is largely the result of the valiant efforts of the National Right to Work Committee and its Legal Defence Foundation. Big business and the Republican Party have usually avoided the battle, leaving only Right to Work and its hundreds of thousands of grass roots supporters to defend employee freedom to get or keep their jobs without being forced to pay dues or join a union.Leef's narrative covers the New Deal legislation that gave Big Labour its initial monopoly power, and then the inspiring, decades-long struggle in Washington and the states to reduce the abusive power of labour bosses. The book also teaches a crucial lesson for those involved in public policy wars, regardless of their political philosophy - that principled and dedicated idealists can prevail against strong special interest groups if they fight for a just cause.
