Yes, that's a great point. The books were written in parts dating from the 19th
Century to sometime in the 30s,
seemingly. An update is badly needed, not only to chart the course of labor since
then, but also to expand the
coverage to slavery and all the neglected stories. The books mostly focus on labor
unions and union-like
associations (the Knights of Labor, for instance), and they should cover unorganized
labor much more.
