Subterranean Fire by Sharon Smith

In 2005, the nuber of workers organised in unions reached a 100-year low in both the public and private sectors in the US, even though more and more people would like the protection of a union and real wages for most people have stagnated or declined since the early 1970s. Sharon Smith shows how a return to the fighting traditions of US labour history, with their emphasis on rank-and-file strategies for change, can turn around the labour movement.

Sharon Smith is a single African-American woman who was born and raised in California. She is a Metropolitan Business and Vocational College graduate. She is a licensed Realtor in the state of California. She is also a mom and grandmother, as well as an antique and antiques researcher. Writing is a hobby that she uses to express her autonomous thought and contrasting relationships.

Among other things, she appreciates painting, music, dancing, cooking, and vintage movies. She is an avid antique collector who just had an article on an Early American Pewter Coffee Pot she purchased published in Antique Trader, a publication she enjoys. Some of her poems have been published in anthologies in the United States and overseas. She's been to a lot of writing conferences and has studied writing for a long time.

Her personal advice to you is to embrace life and live it to the fullest, because you never know when circumstances will change and you will lose hope of realizing your future aspirations and expectations. Her time as a homeless person taught her about human character and how to improve as a 'Homosapien.' It is possible to look into the mirror of life and see what one does not want to become, and she did so, devastated by the human situation in which she found herself, and she departed. She hadn't suddenly won the lotto, but she thought she had made significant progress in having her own home just outside of Skid Row and paying her own rent.

She enjoys a poetry puzzle game that she created and intends to market eventually, but she'd like to share it with you since it's essential to her and has helped her stay assertive, confident, and positive in the face of adversity. It's a nine-word poem on motivation, creativity, and encouragement. The ERG poem's success is based on the use of repetition as reinforcement. According to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, ERG stands for labor.
