Week 14 — Protecting American Workers & The Broken Promise to Veterans

This week we read Chapters 33, 34, and 35—protecting American workers in the 119th Congress, Total Choice Health, and the broken promise to America’s veterans. We also explore the rise of gig work and its implications for the working class.

Discussion prompts:

• Are you a veteran or do you know one? How has the ‘broken promise’ affected you/them?
• What is your experience with the gig economy? Is it freedom or exploitation?
• How should the 119th Congress protect American workers? What legislation is needed?

Veterans’ voices and gig workers’ experiences are essential—share them here.
