Interviews with six local union organizers who have been involved either as rank 'n' filers or as organizers with AFSCME, HERE, IUPAT, SEIU, UAW, and UFCW. They were asked about their politics, their political activity outside of the labor movement, why they became organizers, whether others should become organizers, the good, the bad, how they keep their integrity, what unions are doing right, and what could make unions better.
