Sommario/riassunto |
|
The arrival of several hundred Guatemalan-born workers in a Morganton, North Carolina poultry plant sets the stage for this story of human struggle in an age of globalization. The author follows what happened when concerns about fairness and safety sparked a strike and an unlikely coalition. |
