This year, we’ve seen more than 200 strikes including over 320,000 workers — but we’ve still got our work cut out for us when it comes to securing fair wages, reasonable benefits, and better treatment for our labor.

This episode is an accessible entry point into the world of unionizing, and it’s also a two-for-one interview special: First, Sarah gets a step-by-step breakdown on forming a union from Amanda Paulk, a labor organizer. Then, successful unionizer Jill Grant provides insight into getting the best possible deal for you and your coworkers. You can keep up with Jill on Instagram as @howtounionize.

Listen to learn:

- Why we need unions
- What united workers can accomplish
- How exactly to start your own!
