Labor Reporter/Author to Attend Council Meeting

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Meet the author of "one of the best books in years on the labor movement" at Monday’s Labor Council meeting. St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Philip Dine, whose labor reporting has been nominated twice for a Pulitzer Prize, will discuss his new book "State of the Unions: How Labor Can Strengthen the Middle Class, Improve Our Economy and Regain Political Influence" at the meeting, where copies will also be available for sale and autographing. The Bricklayers call Dine’s book "a must read for anyone concerned about the future of our country," CWA says it’s "packed with colorful anecdotes and careful research" and Congressman Chris Van Hollen termed it "a masterful job."
