Blue-collar intellectual and activist, Stan Weir devoted his life to the
advocacy of his fellow workers. He reported firsthand from the front lines
of decisive fights over the nature of unions in the auto industry, the
resistance to automation on the waterfront, and battles over racial
integration in the workplace and within unions themselves. Singlejack
Solidarity offers a rare look at life and social relations as seen from the
factory, dockside, and the shop floor. Weirıs writings<part memoir, labor
history, and polemic<document a crucial chapter in the story of
working-class America.
³Singlejack Solidarity challenges everyone who was, is, or contemplates
becoming a radical to rethink the fundamental questions about how to bring
about social change.² <Grace Lee Boggs
