Description

Book Synopsis
The fact that WEP workers are denied the legal status of employees and make far less money and enjoy fewer rights than do city workers has sparked fierce opposition. This book focuses on changes in the language and organization of the political coalitions on both sides of the debate.

Trade Review
"Brimming with novel analyses and methodological strategies, Free Labor presents both a compelling analysis of the rise of workfare as a neoliberal policy project and a finegrained examination of the travails and partial successes of anti-WEP coalitions." - Marc Steinberg, author of Fighting Words"
