Love the Work, Hate the Job

Expanding on a 2000 report he wrote for the institute, David Kusnet has released a fascinating new book about the frustrations faced by American workers, including high-skilled professionals, who like the work they do but not the conditions under which they are forced to do it. Read a USA Today review here.

 

Tough Liberal

The Institute is offering a special price on Tough Liberal: Albert Shanker and the Battles Over Schools, Unions, Race and Democracy, the highly regarded new biography of Al Shanker. The $18 price includes taxes, shipping and handling. Read recent reviews of this book here.

 

The Albert Shanker Institute, named in honor of the late president of the American Federation of Teachers, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to three themes—children's education, unions as advocates for quality, and freedom of association in the public life of democracies. Its mission is to generate ideas, foster candid exchanges, and promote constructive policy proposals related to these themes.
