Gertrude Ezorsky traces the severe limits placed on their freedom by illegal coercion against organizing unions and by low wage offersbarely enough to feed their familiesthat workers are pressured to accept. Older, sick workers are forced to stay in exhausting jobs to be eligible for pensions. Ezorsky shows that the notions of freedom held by most contemporary social scientists and philosophers are far too limited to account for the reality of the workplace, where a lack of freedom abounds. Students preparing to enter the workplace will be informed of that reality by reading this valuable book.
