A review by avisholkoff
Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor by Steven Greenhouse
4.0
“There are very few times in a person’s life that you can be part of something that is making systemic and real change for so many people who have been disenfranchised and marginalized for so long.”
Informative book about the contemporary labor movement in the United States. A few chapters about history and then some narrative non-fiction aspects featuring leading union folks.
I learned a ton about their importance, and I think Greenhouse did a great balance of history and showing what’s happening presently with worker empowerment.
I especially appreciated this work because I had the opportunity to learn about Walter Reuther, a true mensch who understood the importance of a multi-racial, United labor movement
