Mutiny
The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class
Book •
Noam Scheiber's Mutiny investigates the growing labor activism among college-educated workers across industries, from tech and healthcare to media and service sectors.
Drawing on reporting and interviews, Scheiber traces how declining returns to higher education, precarious career paths, and workplace consolidation have pushed graduates toward unionization and leftward politics.
The book documents specific organizing drives, explores shifting worker consciousness, and situates these changes within broader economic trends including layoffs and AI threats.
Scheiber argues this is a significant socio-economic transformation with implications for the labor movement and electoral politics.
The narrative combines human stories and structural analysis to explain why previously privileged workers are now acting like rank-and-file labor organizers.
