"Is Organized Labor A Decaying Business Model?" examines the organized labor business model from the perspectives of the economic and political influence of labor unions, relative to the domestic and global economy.

The nature of work has changed, including outsourcing, technology, the internet, and global competition. Labor unions have failed to evolve with the changes, just as dinosaurs became extinct because they failed to evolve with the climatic changes.

The author has extensive labor union experience as a union shop steward, an active member of the labor management relations committee, and in union contract negotiations. He appreciates and respects both side of the labor and management equation.

The author understands how unions operate, from an insider's perspective, in terms of union organizing techniques, union and management workplace interactions, and contract negotiations.

The book was originally written as a PhD dissertation
