Description
Summary:This book describes an underground world of resistance to economic abuse at the intersection of middle-income and lower-income Americans, such as the mother who leaves work early in order to care for her children, or the manager who pads his employees' time cards because he knows they are just barely getting by. She explores the ethical views of middle-income and lower-income Americans in work, educational and health care settings with regards to economic disparities of pay and treatment, and discusses how often people are driven to subverting the rules of their workplaces in order to address what they see as injustice.--Website.
