If there's anything we learned from the pandemic, it's that workers make the world go ‘round. Unfortunately, especially in lower wage jobs, workers are treated as anything but essential. We created some illustrations for the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee's new book, Unite and Win to show workers how they can come together and win a better workplace together. ​​​​​​​

Change is in your hands
We were so excited that Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) asked us to be a part of this project because we know just how valuable a tool this book can be. It’s our labor that creates the success of the company we work for, and we spend most of our lives at work. Despite these facts, workers don’t control their lives while on the clock. This short book gives workers the tools they need to come together and fight for the change they deserve and shows us all how to wrestle back our lives back from the boss.

You can get a copy for yourself (and your coworkers) at Haymarket Books!
