A classic account of low-wage workers’ organization that the US Department of Labor calls one of the “100 books that has shaped work in America.”
As low-wage organizing campaigns have been reignited by the Fight for 15 movement and other workplace struggles,
Poor Workers’ Unions is as prescient as ever.
