An “engaging” firsthand account of the organizing effort inside one of the world’s largest tech companies—and its impact on one Pittsburgh family (Booklist).

In 2019, Ben Gwin played an integral role in organizing the contract workers at Google’s Pittsburgh offices. In Team Building, he takes us inside the employees’ fight for better benefits and more flexible scheduling, offering us a candid account of today’s labor movement and the forces in America that aim to divide workers and maintain the status quo. But this is also a personal story of struggle and triumph. As Ben works with the union, he’s suddenly faced with the prospect of raising his teenage daughter alone after her mother dies of a drug overdose. As he juggles work and the challenges of single fatherhood, he offers us a frank portrait of daily American life, where it sometimes feels like every moment is an uphill battle. Expertly crafted and tightly structured, Team Building artfully explores the ways our working conditions reach deeply into our lives outside the office. It’s an honest and ultimately hopeful look at the importance of building solid foundations with the teams that matter most. “Depict[s] the many ways unfair work policies can impact employee lives.” —Kirkus Reviews “This engaging memoir goes beyond detailing a period in Gwin’s life, also offering a forthright take on the frustrations of the contract worker. It’s an essential piece for understanding the fight for labor rights. Gwin’s resolve shines through in this moving tale.” —Booklist
