But I will not forget one that did: May 2, 2006. Instead of winding up the day as usual, writing follow-up notes for whenever we next sat down across the negotiations table from the hospital management and their hired guns, I was writing a statement for the police about being assaulted by an infamous professional union buster; his sidekick, a convicted international gunrunner; and seven private security guards. I had been corralled by these men toward an elevator in Desert Spring Hospital in Las Vegas. It wasn't until I entered it and they piled in behind me that I realized I needed to get out of the elevator as quickly as possible. But they wouldn't allow it. I was positioned at the corner in front of the elevator's controls because I had hit the ground-floor button even before they entered. Once I realized they were all getting into the elevator too, flight-or-fight panic gripped me, and as the doors began to shut, I reached my arm out to stop the doors from closing. But Brent Yessin, the chief union buster, smacked my arm down and turned to pin me against the wall. I was lifting weights in those days, so I was strong enough that he had to grab hard and yank to lower my arm, bruising me and stopping me from moving; that is technically what constitutes assault and battery in police report lingo. As I later testified in legal proceedings, the worst wasn't the hit to the arm. What left me shaking for months was an even more malicious, insidious act: pressing his body, with an erect penis, into my body and holding me there until the doors opened. That elevator ride under him may have been a minute. It felt like hours"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Rules to Win By: Participation and Power in Union Negotiations is a book for anyone who wants to understand how to build the power required to effectively challenge and reverse income inequality and attacks on democracy. Drawing insights from recent hard-won unionization and contract negotiation fights, Jane McAlevey and Abby Lawlor use lessons from some of the toughest fights today--preparing a durable, all-out strike in a union-hostile environment--to provide a masterclass in participatory social change, indispensable both within and beyond the workplaces where we spend half of our waking lives. In an era of polarization, big lies, and massive legislative setbacks, changemakers in every arena need to learn the skills and lessons honed in pitched battles against experienced and ruthless union busters. Rules to Win By is a book for workers, unionists, racial justice and climate campaigners, academics, policymakers and everyone who wants a more fair and democratic society." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Collective bargaining $z United States. 650 0 $a Labor unions $z United States. 650 0 $a Union busting $z United States. 650 0 $a Negotiation $z United States. 650 7 $a Collective bargaining. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00867190 650 7 $a Labor unions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990260 650 7 $a Negotiation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01035551 650 7 $a Union busting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161391 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Lawlor, Abby, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a McAlevey, Jane F. $t Rules to win by $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2023] $z 9780197690475 $w (DLC) 2023000193 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717011915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68EA7E689E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
