The weight of the Covid, climate, and cost of living crises looms large in the atmosphere, making it increasingly evident that radical social and political change is urgently needed. However, in the wake of defeated labor movements, where should we begin? For longstanding workplace activist Ian Allinson, the answer is clear: organizing at work is paramount to rebuilding working-class power.

The underlying premise is straightforward: organizing fosters confidence, capacity, and collective power, which, in turn, empowers us to bring about change. Workers Can Win is a vital and practical guide for rank-and-file workers and union activists. Drawing on over 20 years of organizing experience, Allinson seamlessly blends practical techniques with an in-depth analysis of the theory and politics of organizing and unions.

The book offers invaluable insights into proven methods for effective organizing. It delves into tactics and strategies, addressing common challenges faced by unions and the resistance of management to worker organizing. As a comprehensive 101 guide to workplace organizing with politically radical horizons, Workers Can Win is poised to become an indispensable tool for workplace struggles in the years to come.
