We Are the Union - Eric Blanc
A riveting account of labor's bottom-up resurgence, providing a roadmap for workers, unions, and social movements to win widely.  After decades of union decline and rising inequality, an inspiring wave of workplace organizing—from Starbucks stores to Amazon warehouses to southern auto factories—has thrust unionization into the national spotlight. By analyzing this surge and telling the stories of the courageous workers driving it forward, We Are the Union makes a case for how to overcome business as usual in both corporate America and organized labor.  Eric Blanc shows that recent struggles have developed a new organizing model, worker-to-worker unionism, which builds scalable power by giving rank-and-filers an unprecedented degree of leadership. Through digital tools and ambitious campaigns, young worker leaders are turning the labor movement back into a movement—and they're winning. Rigorously researched and compellingly written, We Are the Union illustrates how this new grassroots approach can exponentially grow the power of working people to overcome economic exploitation, racial injustice, and authoritarianism at work and beyond.

Deaths and disappearances pile up as a mysterious beast stalks the French countryside and two girls seize an unlikely opportunity that just might save them all—or serve them up on a platter.Step into this chilling, historical horror inspired by the unsolved mystery of the Beast of Gévaudan.When a series of brutal, mysterious deaths start plaguing the countryside and whispers of a beast in the mountains reach the quiet French hamlet of Mende, most people believe itÂ’s a curse—GodÂ’s punishment for their sins. But to sixteen-year-old Joséphine and her best friend, Clara, the beast isnÂ’t a curse. ItÂ’s an opportunity. For years, the girls of Mende have been living in a nightmare—fathers who drink, brothers who punch, homes that feel like prisons—and this is a chance to get them out.Using the creatureÂ’s attacks as cover, Joséphine and Clara set out to fake their friendsÂ’ deaths and hide them away until itÂ’s safe to run. But escape is harder than they thought. If they canÂ’t brave a harsh winter with little food… If the villagers discover what theyÂ’re doing… If the beast finds them first... Those fake deaths might just become real ones.
