ITEM OVERVIEW
In this compelling biography—The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor—author and labor expert Les Leopold recounts the life of the late Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers International Union leader, his struggle to address the unconscionable toxic exposure of tens of thousands of workers—a fight that led to the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and his work alongside nuclear Karen Silkwood. Tony Mazzocchi's legacy lives on in today's ongoing alliances between labor activists and environmentalists, and those who believe in the promise of America.
"Les Leopold has vividly brought to life an extraordinary man—an incorruptible fighter for the rights of labor—an historic figure who should never be forgotten." [Doris Kearns Goodwin]
