Workplace Sabotage: The Conscious Withdrawal of the Workers' Industrial Efficiency

Escape the trap of unproductive "discourse" with this iconic I.W.W. tract, bringing delightfully devious labor tactics to contemporary movements—in zine form! In this pamphlet, legendary free-speech and labor activist Elizabeth Gurley Flynn details forms of sabotage workers may inflict upon their bosses to win better conditions, like interference with rate of work, interference with quality of products, and interference with service. Readers will see how these tactics can still be used today to "withdraw efficiency" from exploitative systems. Great for a radical reading group and a practical, readable resource for plotting collective action.
