Labor is increasingly militant after years of inaction

“It’s been a fast and furious few weeks for labor. First, 3,000 workers went on strike at 150 Starbucks, then 6,000 Los Angeles hotel workers walked out, and now 11,500 Hollywood writers and 160,000 television and movie actors have gone on strike. Not only that, 340,000 UPS workers seemed ready to walk out on 1 August, and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union is threatening to strike one or more Detroit automakers later this summer.” – The Guardian

Join us as people read their a poem about work, labor activity, labor history, and more.

The book includes photos taken by Frank Espada and poetry written by his son, the author and people’s attorney, Martín Espada.
