Synopsis
After decades of agitating from the inside, Joe Uehlein concluded that there had to be a movement that could act beyond the constraints of conventional labour rights and environmentalism. Joe held two top positions at the AFL-CIO: secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO's Industrial Division, and director of the AFL-CIO's Centre for Strategic Campaigns. He left the AFL-CIO in 2005 to pursue work on climate change and founded the Labor Network for Sustainability, a force in building cooperation among labour, environmental, and climate movements. Standing on the frontlines of climate justice and the class war requires transforming organized labour to include a durable vision of ecological integrity and transforming environmentalism to embrace working-class solidarity. For Joe, art has also been vital in the struggle for labour and climate. With a guitar in hand, his powerful words have inspired audiences across the globe. While sometimes sharing the stage with musicians such as Tom Morello and Pete Seeger, Joe's songs have become anthems for elevating the plight of the worker and demanding a healthy environment for future generations. Three Roads is the distillation of Joe's dynamic strategy of 'building bridges and pushing the envelope' to simultaneously unify and challenge the divergent forces that must come together to protect both workers and our shared planet. Joe's captivating storytelling, passionate voice, and unique life story provides lessons, guidance and ammunition for a new generation of activists attempting to navigate the dual crisis of rising sea levels and the increasing disparity between the rich and the poor. Three Roads is for everyone who desires coming together and creating a just and sustainable future for all.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After decades organizing from within the labor establishment, Joe Uehlein realized that winning real climate and economic justice meant moving beyond the limits of traditional labor and environmentalism.As former secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO's Industrial Division and director of the AFL-CIO's Center for Strategic Campaigns, Joe fought from the inside. But in 2005, he stepped away from the AFL-CIO to found the Labor Network for Sustainability, forging deep alliances between labor, climate, and environmental movements. His vision: transform the labor movement to embrace ecological responsibility-and environmentalism to uplift working-class solidarity.But Joe's work has never been confined to boardrooms or picket lines. With a guitar in hand, he's shared stages with Pete Seeger and Tom Morello, turning songs into rallying cries and stories into tools for resistance.Three Roads weaves strategy, memoir, and music into a powerful call to action. Through compelling personal narrative and frontline insight, Joe offers an urgently needed blueprint for bridging movements and pushing boundaries. This is a book for anyone who dreams of a world where working people and the planet thrive together.Because the road to justice has to walk in more than one direction-and we need all of them.
