The new Union Plus Book Club, a project of the AFL-CIO “that will delve into the latest publications by leading experts on vital working family and workplace issues,” has announced its first selection: Cosimo’s Up From Wall Street: The Responsible Investment Alternative, by Thomas Croft. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who supplied the foreword for Up From Wall Street, named the book the club’s first main selection for matching its goal of “creat[ing] labor movement dialogue about current issues and… inspir’ing] thought-provoking conversations within our union community.”

Author Croft will be speaking at the Sustainable Opportunities Summit in Denver in March. On Wednesday, March 3, Croft will appear on the panel “Financing Sustainability: Is Wall Street Buying the Opportunity?” Please see the Summit’s site for more information, including schedules and how to register.

Up From Wall Street is available at Amazon.com and from other online booksellers.
