{"product_id":"9781583671641","title":"On the Global Waterfront: The Fight to Free the Charleston 5","description":"On the Global Waterfront tells the story of longshoremen in Charleston, South Carolina, who-on the verge of a presidential election that would redefine American and global politics-confronted attempts to wipe out their union, the state's most powerful black organization, ILA Local 1422. This compelling narrative of a local struggle, a transformed union leader, and a newly-energized international worker movement highlights the resounding importance of a largely invisible sector of organized labor still powerful enough to stop global commerce on a dime. This is much more than just another labor story. It is a portrait of working people demanding more and better from globalization, which exposes the well-organized religious and corporate powers arrayed against them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuzan Erem is a freelance writer and former union organizer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.
