bold five- year campaign to organize workers in
the dangerous industrial laundry factories of
Phoenix, Arizona. Employees here wash hospital,
hotel, and restaurant linens and face harsh
conditions, and unfair U.S. labor law makes it
nearly impossible for them to fight for their
rights. The drive to unionize is led by two
women author Daisy Pitkin, a young labor
organizer, who addresses this exhilarating
narrative to Alma Gomez Garc237a a second-
shift immigrant worker, who risks her livelihood
to join the struggle. Forged in the flames of
the company8217svicious anti-union crusade,
the relationships that grow between Daisy, Alma,
and the rest of the factory workers show how a
union can reach beyond the workplace and form a
solidarity so powerful that it can transcend
friendship and transform communities. But when
political strife divides the union, Daisy must
reflect on her own position of privilege and the
complicated nature of union hierarchies. Daisy
Pitkin also looks back to the forgotten role
immigrant women have played in the labor
movement, as we experience one of the largest
labor upheavals in decades,nbspsheshows how
difficult it is to bring about social change,
and why we can8217tafford to stop trying.
