“In prose both accessible and dramatic, Chris Rhomberg has given us aprofound and carefully detailed analysis of a landmark struggle betweenlabor and management in the ’90s. . . His book effectively links the changingbargaining table and its erosion to the growing inequality in our society.The Broken Table is must reading for all concerned with the changinglabor landscape, Detroit, and the political-economic challenges ahead.”­WILLIAM B. GOULD IV, Charles A. Beardsley Professor of Law, emeritus,Stanford Law School, and chairman, National Labor Relations Board (1994–1998)

“Chris Rhomberg brings to his account of this epic conflict the kind ofhistorical understanding, sociological insight, and legal acumen that illuminatesthe world of work in our day. The Broken Table is essential readingfor anyone who wants to grasp the profound economic and ideological rupturesthat have so decimated American unions and eroded working-class livingstandards during the last three decades.” ­NELSON N. LICHTENSTEIN, MacArthurFoundation Chair in History, University of California, Santa Barbara
