Paperback. Condición: Good. Unionizing the Ivory Tower chronicles how a thousand low-paid custodians, cooks, and gardeners succeeded in organizing a union at Cornell University. Al Davidoff, the Cornell student leader who became a custodian and the union's first president, tells the extraordinary story of these ordinary workers with passion, sensitivity, and wit.

Davidoff's story demonstrates how a fighting union can activate today's working class to oppose antidemocratic and white supremacist forces.…
