Annelise Orleck: We Are All Fast-Food Workers Nowy
Annelise’s recent book “We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now” reveals the stories of low-wage workers rising up around the world to demand respect and a living wage. “We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now” is an urgent, illuminating look at globalization as seen through the eyes of workers-activists: small farmers, fast-food servers, retail workers, hotel housekeepers, home-healthcare aides, airport workers, and adjunct professors who are fighting for respect, safety, and a living wage. Annelise draws upon interviews with activists here in the US and from many countries around the world featuring stories of resistance and rebellion, as well as reflections on hope and change.
