In the trenches at the Communication Workers of America for twenty years, Steve has published articles in The Nation, The Progressive, The New York Times, and CounterPunch, to name a few. One reviewer says: "Early combines a realistic understanding of union functioning with the passionate outrage of a union reformer." His passion will help forge the link between social justice and a healthy planet.
