Most Americans work too long and too hard, while others lack consistency in their hours and schedules. Work hours declined for a century through hard-fought labor-movement victories, but they've increased significantly since the '70s. Worked Over traces the varied reasons why our lives became tethered to a new rhythm of work and describes how we might gain a greater say over our labor time - and build a more just society in the process.

A timely critique of how work has taken over our lives.
Revisado: 06-14-23
Jamie McCallum's book strikes me particularly as timely, an updated version of the place work, and employment, occupies in our lives in post-industrial capitalism. While students in universities contemplate their future careers, they rarely actually contemplate work as a phenomenon they will need to encounter whatever professions they actually go into. This book also clarifies that the struggle for worker rights, particularly for greater control over their time, is not over.
