About the Author
More Worlds to Negotiate beautifully illustrates John Dunlop’s approach to problem solving through a series of fascinating accounts of the complicated social challenges he helped navigate in his long and storied life. Jennifer Berkshire deftly chronicles Dunlop’s ongoing search to engage people with strongly opposing views to create multi-party “mechanisms” that addressed what often seemed intractable dilemmas. Dunlop’s approach offers a hopeful message and guidance to facing the social policy problems of our own fraught times.— David Weil, Dean and Professor, Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University and former Obama administration Wage and Hour Administrator, US Department of Labor
Jennifer Berkshire captures John Dunlop as the modern man he was: his sweeping curiosity, his habit of listening to previously unheard voices, his ability to bring parties together of different races, genders, socioeconomic classes and cultures. This book is a history, but also a relevant manual for those interested in solving entrenched and thorny problems today. — Kris Rondeau, Director, AFSCME New England Organizing Project
John Dunlop was a master facilitator and an astute problem solver whose techniques offer a roadmap for addressing today’s most intractable policy issues.— Karen Ignagni, President/CEO EmblemHealth
This book is a must read for anyone working in the worlds of industrial and labor relations and for anyone who has to negotiate as part of their role in business, government, or the broader community. Jennifer C. Berkshire has done a wonderful job outlining the attitudes, models, and negotiating techniques deployed by John Dunlop across his illustrious career.
