Peter Rachleff considers the meaning of the essays in respect to the continuing growth of employer organizing, including recent employer campaigns to further weaken—even eliminate altogether—organized labor.

The question to be answered is whether forces from below will develop a counterstrategy that might contest the power of employer activism in the way that workers did in earlier periods.
