Al Davidoff, the Cornell student leader who became a custodian and the union's first president, tells the extraordinary story of these ordinary workers with passion, sensitivity, and wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e His memoir reveals how they took on the dominant power in the community, built a strong organization, and waged multiple strikes and campaigns for livable wages and their dignity. Their strategies and tactics were creative and feisty, founded on worker participation and ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The union's commitment to fairness, equity, and economic justice also engaged these workers—mostly rural, white, and conservative—at the intersections of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia. Davidoff's story demonstrates how a fighting union can activate today's working class to oppose antidemocratic and white supremacist forces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ILR Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48853907538155,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":49.35,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781501771552-1.jpg?v=1781684949","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781501771552","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
