Demonstrates how, despite a hostile legal environment and the punitive anti-unionism of US employers, a few unions have organized hundreds of thousands of low-wage service workers in the past few years.

When Steve Lopez sees Nathaniel Ayers playing his heart out on a two-string violin on Los Angeles's skid row, he finds it impossible to walk away.
