A timely and inspiring work of comics journalism--the history of unions and why we need them (and a first-hand account of working in an Amazon warehouse).
Workers of the world, Unite! From comics-journalist Sam Wallman comes a thoughtful plunge into the history of unions. Through distinctive art and sharp-eyed reporting, Wallman ushers us into the hidden ashes of 21st century labor conditions, and shows us recent labor movement and union triumphs--all while framing current conditions against the history of unions and the earliest rallying cries for workers' rights.
It's an entry point for younger generations, and a reminder for workers who have had their livelihood reduced by capitalist pressures. It's also a primer for those new to the power of collective action.
From an Amazon warehouse in Melbourne (where Sam worked for a year), to Britain and Bangladesh, to Walmart in China and the New York Taxi Workers strike against the Trump-era refugee ban, this book is a highly original and visual exploration of the power of unions.
