“The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor:  The Life and Times of Tony Mazzocchi,” by Les Leopold. “Required reading for those who believe in taking risks and making the world a better place,” says Russ Davis of AFGE Council 1. “While Mazzocchi's story is so full of peril and deception that it seems almost a work of fiction, Leopold proves that the most provocative and lasting stories in life are those of real people.” Adds historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, "Les Leopold has vividly brought to life an extraordinary man -- an incorruptible fighter for the rights of labor -- an historic figure who should never be forgotten.  Whether leading the charge for the Occupational Safety and Health Act, protecting workers from toxic exposures, traveling the country to argue for health insurance, testifying before Congress, or inspiring a generation of student activists, Mazzocchi's fiery passion for social and economic justice was revealed in every action he took. And in Leopold he has found an equally passionate and dedicated biographer. This is an important work in the annals of labor history." The Labor Party is selling bulk copies of the hard cover version for $25 and will receive Les Leopold's royalties for those sales.
