Care Workers, Women Workers, Striking Workers

Sarah Jaffe has a super essay about labor in the new issue of Jacobin. It’s very readable and gripping and it tells a story. You will like it and understand it (I liked it and understood it). You will learn something (I learned something).

Covered: juxtaposition of the fight for the 40-hour work week in 1800s/early 1900s and the fight for more hours now; women’s work vs men’s work; the difficulty care workers (nurses, home aids) face in organizing; striking as “freedom from work.”
