In your book, you talk about the deeply personal aspects of union organizing. It's built out of solidarity, which is a substance that's about mutual aid and care for one another. I didn't know how to write the book without being without writing about it in a very personal way. And what happens when we organize a union or help workers organize a union is that they build power,. They were seared together in the early training that I had the boss has power. The kind of power that the boss has is not anything we want anything to do with. We don't want to traffic in that kind of power.
Featuring Daisy Pitkin on her book On the Line: A Story of Class, Solidarity, and Two Women's Epic Fight to Build a Union, a memoir that powerfully captures the drama of an organizing drive—and so much more.
