Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor by Steven Greenhouse

4.0

Two books released recently “Worked Over” and “Beaten Down, Worked Up” deal with very similar themes regarding workers rights, worker organizing (or lack thereof), and the history of labor rights in the US. Of the two, “Beaten Down” has a much more thorough history of the fight for labor rights in the US, up to and including ongoing issues and activities today. Worked Over has a smaller portion of roughly the same ground and more theoretical opining on what work is, but is ultimately a bit less satisfying.
