In 2006 American labor unions stand on the precipice of extinction. Their membership numbers have never been lower. Their inability to organize new members has caused bitter conflict within the labor movement. Several powerful unions have left the monolithic AFL-CIO. Many employers recently besieged by the unions' formerly preferred organizing strategy - the Corporate Campaign - are facing a predicted Tsunami of 2,000 new organizers.

Employers who prefer to remain union free are alerted to tactics unions use and how to reduce their vulnerability to advances by the desperate labor movement. The outcome of this struggle will determine whether unions will survive.
