"... labor historian Erik Loomis recounts ten critical workers’ strikes in American labor history that everyone needs to know about (and then provides an annotated list of the 150 most important moments in American labor history in the appendix). From the Lowell Mill Girls strike in the 1830s to Justice for Janitors in 1990, these labor uprisings do not just reflect the times in which they occurred, but speak directly to the present moment"--

4 stars

Huge fan of Loomis' work at www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/ and love his writing. I wish it wasn't so damn depressing, but that's not his fault, it's ours. Excellent history of the fate of labor in the United States, using the titular strikes as a framing device.
