Al Davidoff, the Cornell student leader who became a custodian and the unions first president, tells the extraordinary story of these ordinary workers with passion, sensitivity, and wit.His memoir reveals how they took on the dominant power in the community, built a strong organization, and waged multiple strikes and campaigns for livable wages and their dignity. Their strategies and tactics were creative and feisty, founded on worker participation and ownership.The unions commitment to fairness, equity, and economic justice also engaged these workers-mostly rural, white, and conservative-at the intersections of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia. Davidoffs story demonstrates how a fighting union can activate todays working class to oppose antidemocratic and white supremacist forces.
