In The Third Burden: My True Story of Defeating Discrimination in the Workplace (WendiBrand; Nov. 1, 2002; $15 Paperback), Eric Hughes tells his poignant story of fighting prejudice -- and winning -- and offers practical advice for any employee to understand and defend their rights. Hughes tells the story of how one ordinary person came to do something extraordinary: win not one, but two workplace discrimination lawsuits against the federal government. Hughes tenure in federal government became a lesson in perseverance by confronting injustice in its face no matter how uncomfortable the process. The Third Burden is for anyone who wants to take control of his or her professional life by understanding civil rights in the workplace -- whether for themselves, their co-workers or their employees. As such, The Third Burden is a must read for employees and managers alike. As Mr. Hughes take-charge theme resonates, We dont deserve the right to hate prejudice until we spend our lives opposing it."
