BONUS MATERIAL! Follow the wryly-told embattled adventures of a socially isolated, non-conforming union leader as she battles toxic management and co-worker idiocy in a well-meaning Social Services office. Chock-full of insights, foul language and The Five Stages of Grief, The Incredibly True Confessions of a Black Female Union Steward is relatable to any and everyone who has ever lived, died and gone to hell in their job, work environment or both. Rated M for Misfit A true confessional of bad behavior, lackadaisical attitudes on the part of upper management, and more hoops to jump through th[a]n a school playground, The Incredibly True Confessions of a Black Female Union Steward is a great piece of on-the-spot reporting of a seemingly impossible situation. Clearly there was alot going on that defied any sort of understanding. I certainly can't imagine what it was like in the moment! While I did notice some errors throughout the piece, they lent an extra bit of authentic-ness, having likely been written in the moment or soon after events occured. All in all an interesting mini-memoir! -D. Cuthbert, Library Thing CONTENTS: 1. Perceived Power Dynamics 101: 2. Cast of Characters: Management 3. Weingarten Rights 4. Cast of Characters: Union 5.
