Beaten, worked up. Guest thanks for the kind words, congressman. Great to speak with you. Host when i think about this book, i think about it as having three major parts after you sort of introduced the situation now, you do a really good job of talking about three stories about how workers struggle and built the middle class by organizing and bargaining through a lot of adversity and demanding policy changes.

A lot of books like this are criticized because they come up short on the policy recommendations i hope we get into that because you paid quite a few interesting suggestions on what might be done to restore the voice of power and workers in this country
