4.5

feels like i haven’t written a review in forever, im out of practice lmao

i thought this was an extremely interesting book. i knew the very basics of labor history (basically the extent of my knowledge was “unions exist and are good”), but pretty much everything in this book i didn’t know at all previously. i liked the structure of it!! having it structured as multiple essays under each category of worker helped it flow really well and keep from it from getting dry.
my only complaint is that the middle dragged a bit, it felt like some of the essays were either too short or too long. but it picked back up by the end :)
