ABOUT THE BOOK

Steven Greenhouse’s Beaten Down, Worked Up is an expansive work, spanning a century of labor history in the United States, from the early 20th century to the “Fight for $15” in recent years. With a focus on compelling characters in America’s labor movement, the book catalogs the trends in modern labor history while forecasting the future’s challenges for workers—and recommends how to best meet those challenges.
