Product Description
by Rich Michalski (Author), J. A. Foley (Editor)
Part memoir, part historical account, In the Fight is a front-row seat to the key political battles and big business treachery that destroyed the once-thriving American middle class. Union leader Rich Michalski takes us from local lodges to the plush inner sanctums of billion-dollar corporations to the hallowed halls of Washington, where he fights for American workers alongside - and sometimes against - CEOs, senators, governors, and presidents, including Jack Welch, Mitch McConnell, Jim Doyle, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Michalski's first-hand account covers everything from the heyday of American manufacturing jobs to its post-NAFTA apocalypse, where nationwide poverty and resentment set the stage for the rise of Donald Trump.
