Richard W. Gillett is an Episcopal priest living in Seattle and author of The New Globalization: Reclaiming the Lost Ground of Our Christian Social Tradition (Pilgrim Press).
This very timely book appears when over 27 percent of the U.S. workforce is unemployed or underemployed and the workplace is becoming increasingly oppressive and pressurized for those workers who still have a job. And this is a time when union membership is at historically low levels—about 12.3 percent of the total workforce, with less union membership in the private sector.
