"Who Speaks for the Working Poor?" is a collection of essays written by a big box employee exploring the title question while illustrating what it's like to work inside the big box.

Would the answer to that question be the politicians, the clergy, the charities, the working poor themselves?

Most of the essays address the, often conflicting, interweaving interests of the Working Poor and pretty much everyone else. That includes the people we casually refer to as the Rich, the literal handful of ultra-wealthy people who use the Rich to achieve their aims, the middle class, politicians, media, corporations with allegiance to profit but not country, and others. Hopefully, you'll be inspired to question the way you look at yourself in relation to others as citizens of the USA and the world.

These essays reflect an unarticulated point of view from a segment of society that is too often misunderstood, often demonized, and mostly invisible. These are not just the people who work for the familiar “big box” stores, thus the subtitle; but also any one of many many impersonal multinational corporations or familiar chain operations making minimum wage or thereabouts so that their shareholders and top executives can earn scandalous incomes and live lavish lifestyles unimaginable just a generation ago.
