A new Children’s Christmas classic for labor! Imagine young children reading a book about a union that wins back the job of a sanitation worker who is unfairly fired. For years Jake has repaired and painted broken toys he pulled from the trash on his rounds and given to the children in the local shelter at Christmas. But when an angry motorist turns Jake in to the sanitation company, Jake is fired for breaking city regulations. His union takes the case to arbitration. Will Jake win his job back? Find out in this sweet holiday story.

Review:
“This Yuletide season ... union households can keep the Grinch at bay with a wonderful new children’s book that warmly illustrates both the profundity of giving and the power of collective action. — Joe Maniscalco, Labor Press
“...strikes a powerful emotional chord in grownups while explaining to children how unions fight for worker justice by filing a grievance and arguing a case in an arbitration hearing.” — Southern Indiana Regional Labor Council, AFL-CIO
“Take this new Christmas classic to your local schools, libraries, bookstores, daycare centers...The children will learn the real union story: advocating for social justice for working people.” — Radical Teacher
“It may be a kid’s book but it’s for everyone who believes in worker’s rights, collective bargaining and homeless kids having toys, especially during the holidays! — Sue Doro, Pride and a Paycheck
“It’s a union book through and through, right down to its dedication...” — Teamster Nation
“For parents who suffer the indignity of wrongful discipline or termination from a job and are awaiting arbitration, “Good Guy Jake”/“Buen Chico Jake” is a powerful tool to allow children to understand what’s happening as much as it continues the message of giving to others.” — John Pietaro, The Cultural Worker
In “Good Guy Jake/Buen Chico Jake,” children will learn the real union story of advocating for social justice for working people — and it makes an excellent gift for the holiday season and all year round. — Molly Charboneau, Public Employees Press
