Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor
Steven Greenhouse (Author)
“An invaluable read for anyone interested in understanding one of the more shameful aspects of America’s status quo: the persistence of a working poor who, for the most part, work far harder than the rest of us yet live in a state of perpetual economic uncertainty, if not outright destitution.”–Sarah Carr, The Washington Post
Enough said.
