DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Labor & Community Studies Department of City College of 
 San Francisco & The Green Arcade. How essential workers’ fight for better 
 jobs during the pandemic revolutionized US labor politics\n\nEssential 
 workers’ fight for better jobs during the pandemic revolutionized US 
 labor politics. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, essential workers 
 lashed out against low wages, long hours, and safety risks, attracting a 
 level of support unseen in decades. This explosion of labor unrest seemed 
 sudden to many. But Jamie McCallum's book Essential: How the Pandemic 
 Transformed the Long Fight For Worker Justice\nreveals that American 
 workers had simmered in discontent long before their anger boiled 
 over.\n\nDecades of austerity, sociologist McCallum shows, have left 
 frontline workers vulnerable to employer abuse, lacking government 
 protections, and increasingly furious. Through firsthand research conducted 
 as the pandemic unfolded, he traces the evolution of workers’ militancy, 
 showing how their struggles for safer workplaces, better pay and health 
 care, and the right to unionize have benefitted all Americans and spurred a 
 radical new phase of the labor movement. This is essential reading for 
 understanding the past, present, and future of the working class. This is 
 essential reading for understanding the past, present, and future of the US 
 working class.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/01/10/18853763.php
