"William Gould's studious work focuses the spotlight on labor law and its necessary reforms both in substance and in interpretation. The author emphasizes the democratic values of independently based employee participative systems in advancing the good life within the healthy organization. It is altogether compelling that the book's detailed prescriptions for labor law reform demand careful study and attention by management, labor and our legislators. For underlying these proposed reforms is the recognition that labor and management, even within the adversarial relationship, have much in common in the joint search for mutually satisfactory solutions to the challenges of today's national economy." -- Irving Bluestone, Professor of Labor Studies, Wayne State University Retired Vice President, United Auto Workers Union " Agenda for Reform puts to bed the myth that workers and their unions are impediment to our economic future, and will advance the living standards and economic well being of our nation." -- Jack Sheinkman, President, Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, AFL-CIO "William Gould has been a prolific writer on the labor management scene for many years. In this book he exhibits an acute understanding of the current state of labor law. Anyone involved in labor management relations should read Agenda for Reform." -- Doug Fraser, President Emeritus of UAW
