And What We Can Do About It

Billions of dollars worth of wages are stolen from millions of U.S. workers every year. The scope of these abuses is as staggering as it is wrong—paying employees far less than the legal minimum wage, purposefully misclassifying employees as independent contractors, illegally denying workers overtime pay—and only now are people beginning to take notice.

Nationally recognized activist Kim Bobo’s Wage Theft in America is an incisive handbook for organizers, workers and concerned citizens on how to prevent the flagrant exploitation of America’s working people. Offering a sweeping analysis of the crisis and providing concrete solutions, with special attention to what the new presidential administration should do, Wage Theft in America addresses one of the most egregious and unfair practices affecting workers today.

You are welcome to bring your lunch. (The AFL-CIO cafeteria also will be open before the discussion.)

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
