"This book starts out in the 1800's but focuses on the worker/doctor issues in the early 1900's. You will learn about how the injured workers of the Great Depression influences the labor laws that are in effect to this day. If you don't know how a Union works, this is the book for you.We learn about floating laborers and yellow dog contracts, union corruption and the dangers of corporate monopolies. But Sall chronicles more than just the unions; he delves into the people who shaped their early days and who made them what they are today. From his vantage point as a physician, the reader becomes privy to information that might unsettle, if not shock.For example, beginning in the 1800s, doctors chosen by companies to treat their employees often found themselves on a union's "common enemies" list of individuals caring for the workers while being accused of serving the economic and authoritarian needs of the employer. The result was a doctor client relationship of distrust and hostility that persists today."--Amazon.
