The event starts at 7 p.m. at the Communication Workers of America Local 7200 hall, 3521 E. Lake St., Minneapolis.
Burns, a labor negotiator and attorney, is the former president of AFSCME Local 1164.
“I have read the book and can say that it has the potential of having a huge impact on the labor movement,” said Phyllis Walker, president of AFSCME Local 3800.
Larry Cohen, president of the Communication Workers of America, calls the Burns book “an effective and provocative historical approach to a complex problem: How do working Americans and their unions reverse the decline in living standards and employment security in the global economy?”
Notes labor journalist Steve Early: “Joe Burns\' new book explains why this traditional tool of worker struggle is still relevant and how it can be used effectively in the 21st century. Reviving the Strike deserves a wide labor audience.”
The book release party is sponsored by AFA-CWA Council 81, AFSCME Local 3800, AFSCME Council 5, CWA Local 7200, UNITE HERE Local 17, Jimmy Johns Workers Union, ATU Local 1005, the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation and the St. Paul Regional Labor Federation.
