Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-Streissguth chronicles the labor movement through the biographies of Samuel Gompers, Eugene V. Debs, William D. Haywood, Mary "Mother" Jones, John L. Lewis, A. Philip Randolph, Jimmy Hoffa, and Cesar Chavez. Black-and-white photographs accompany each 16-page profile. Extraneous facts such as, "[Cesar Chavez's] salary never exceeded $6,000-the lowest of any union president in the U.S.," and that "He never owned a house or a car" will interest general readers. An additional tool for report writers.
