Across the world, workers labor for profitable businesses without pay - and it's legal. Labor market trends like outsourcing and technology hide some workers. Others are hidden in plain sight, erased by identity performance mandates and branding. Retail workers function as walking billboards and take payment in prestige or clothing discounts. Wait staff at "breastaurants" conform their bodies to a business model. Inventory stockers at grocery stores go hungry to complete their shifts. This work is conceptually invisible and under-regulated by wage laws. This book gathers essays by prominent sociologists and legal scholars to illuminate how and why such labor has been hidden from view.
