SUMMARY:Why We Can’t Get Ahead: Job Challenges for the American Work
 er – Steven Greenhouse of the New York Times
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Steven Greenhouse, New York Times business and ec
 onomics correspondent\n\nSince the recession’s peak, the U.S. unempl
 oyment rate has been hovering around 10 percent. But the challenges to
  the American worker go beyond the current economic crisis. Steven Gre
 enhouse will talk about how American companies have squeezed millions 
 of workers by clamping down on wages, cutting benefits and violating l
 abor laws. He’ll also offer a practical set of solutions the governm
 ent, business and labor leaders could implement to help working people
 .\n\nBook Reviews\n\n“In this shocking and important book, Steven Gr
 eenhouse explains and tells the stories of how U.S. workers are paying
  the price for the lower labor standards and wages that are the result
  of poorly-managed globalization.”-Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel Prize-w
 inning economist and professor at Columbia University\n\n“Steven Gre
 enhouse’s brilliant and vividly reported expose shows how employers 
 have been squeezing the life out of American workers through means bot
 h legal and illegal. My blood boiled when I read the Big Squeeze. Any 
 presidential candidate-or voter-who overlooks this book will be cluele
 ss about what’s really going on in America.” – Barbara Ehrenreic
 h, author of Nickel and Dimed\n\nFor more on the book and Steven Green
 house, please visit www.stevengreenhouse.com\n\nCo-sponsored by the Te
 llus Institute and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.\n\nFo
