Rezension

"Public Workers in Service of America is a fascinating and consequential history of public sector-work that demonstrates how public employees from diverse backgrounds have fought to define their rights over time and in a wide variety of occupations. It contributes to an essential conversation about the need for a robust and inclusive public workforce in a nation that often uncritically embraces the private sector."--Margaret C. Rung, author of Servants of the State: Managing Diversity and Democracy in the Federal Workforce, 1933-1953
