Title: Warning: Paul Orfalea Chapter
Product review: This text has many good elements. However, there is a hagiographic chapter on Paul Orfalea which may turn your stomach. Orfalea founded Kinko's, which is famous mostly for having more labor complaints than probably any other firm in the past decade. The text does not mention Kinko's poor record on labor. If you use this as a text, I suggest supplementing it with some clippings of the NLRB filings by Kinko's employees to allow your students to come to their own conclusions. Did Orfalea build a valuable business, or did he build a personal empire on the backs of minimum wage slaves?
