<br/><br/>Introduction: "to get to Boeing, we first had to take on the union" --  Business unionism and rank-and-file unionism at the turn of the millennium --  Not a smooth flight for Boeing and the union --  Enter the dissidents --  The problem with "jointness" --  The 1995 strike and the rejection of the second contract --  "The feeble strength of one" --  Carrying the memory of agitation : a dialogue between Keith Thomas and Dana Cloud --  Communication and clout --  Conclusion : the beginnings and ends of union democracy. 
<br/><br/> Shows how ordinary workers attempted to take command of their futures by chipping away at the cosy partnership between union leadership and corporate management. Focusing on the 1995 strike at Boeing, Cloud renders a multi-layered account of the battles between company and the union and within the union led by Unionists for Democratic Change.
