- Title
Labor in the Age of Finance: Pensions, Politics, and Corporations from Deindustrialization to Dodd‐Frank.
- Abstract
Jacoby details how the role of unions as an activist shareholder matched with (and indeed supported) a general shift to a view that the primary objective of a corporation should be to maximise shareholder value. Chapter 4 describes how, with the accession of John Sweeney to leadership of the AFL-CIO, the union movement devoted more of its resources to organising for members. I agree with Jacoby that there is an important future role for unions to play, some of which will depend on governments making reforms that allow unions to play that role.
