Join author Timothy Minchin for this special book event.

From the Ronald Reagan years to the present, the labor movement has faced a profoundly hostile climate. As America’s largest labor federation, the AFL-CIO has been forced to confront severe political and economic headwinds. Yet the AFL-CIO survived, consistently fighting for good jobs and higher wages.

Labor Under Fire tells the definitive story of the modern AFL-CIO in full detail, with characters and never-before-told stories drawn from unexamined, restricted and untapped archives, as well as interviews with crucial figures involved with the organization.
