Join the Power at Work Blog, the Burnes Center for Social Change, and the Massachusetts State House Employee Union for an in-person conversation with acclaimed labor reporter Hamilton Nolan about his new book The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor on Wednesday, March 27 at 6:30 PM ET at the Northeastern University College of Professional Studies (101 Belvidere Place, 3rd floor, Boston, MA 02115).


The conversation will be moderated by Seth Harris, former top Biden White House labor advisor, former Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor, and a Senior Fellow at the Burnes Center for Social Change at Northeastern University; and Thomas Pelkey, an organizer with the Massachusetts State House Employee Union.

Space is limited, so register immediately to reserve your spot.


The Hammer presents a timely, in-depth, and vital exploration of the American labor movement and its critical place in our society and politics today. Drawing the lines from forgotten workplaces in rural West Virginia to Washington’s halls of power, The Hammer shows how labor solidarity can utterly transform American politics—if it can first transform itself. The Hammer is an urgent on-the-ground examination of the past, present, and future of the American labor movement.

Hamilton Nolan is a labor journalist who writes regularly for In These Times magazine and The Guardian. He has written about labor, politics, and class war for The New York Times, the Washington Post, Gawker, Splinter, and other publications. He was the longest-serving writer in Gawker’s history, and was a leader in unionizing Gawker Media in 2015. Hamilton is a proud member of the Writers Guild of America, East.


Copies of The Hammer will be available for purchase and author’s signature at the event.
