description
Out in the Union: A Labor History in Queer America is based on over one-hundred oral histories as well as archival and newspaper research from the 1960s to the second Obama administration. Miriam Frank explores the experiences of queer workers in diverse workplaces like factories, building trades, teaching, public sector jobs, and service-sector jobs. Frank discusses the costs and benefits of coming out to coworkers, the role queer people played in labor unions, and the history behind the intersections or divisions between the labor movement and gay movement.
