NYT Reporter Speaks at Labor College

(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.
