From white-collar executives to mail carriers, public workers meet
the needs of the entire nation. Frederick W. Gooding Jr. and Eric
S. Yellin edit a collection of new research on this understudied
workforce. Part One begins in the late nineteenth- and early
twentieth century to explore how questions of race, class, and
gender shaped public workers, their workplaces, and their place in
American democracy. In Part Two, essayists examine race and gender
discrimination while revealing the subtle contemporary forms of
marginalization that keep Black men and Black and white women
underpaid and overlooked for promotion. The historic labor actions
detailed in Part Three illuminate how city employees organized not
only for better pay and working conditions but to seek recognition
from city officials, the public, and the national labor movement.
Part Four focuses on nurses and teachers to address the thorny
question of whether certain groups deserve premium pay for their
irreplaceable work and sacrifices or if serving the greater good is
a reward unto itself. Contributors: Eileen Boris, Cathleen D.
Cahill, Frederick W. Gooding Jr., William P. Jones, Francis Ryan,
Jon Shelton, Joseph E. Slater, Katherine Turk, Eric S. Yellin, and
Amy Zanoni
