NYT Reporter Speaks at Labor College
Friday, June 27, 2008
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
New York Times labor reporter and author Steven Greenhouse will hold an open
forum and book signing at the National Labor College today at 4P. "The Big
Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker" explores what Greenhouse termed "the broken
compact between employee and employer" - which once fueled decades of rising
prosperity and the American middle class - through the stories of workers like
the Iraq War veteran who works 120 hours a week at a Family Dollar and whose
wife can only see him if she shows up at closing time to help clean the
bathrooms and mop the floors. Click
