Next up we have two reports on the historic win at the “Big 3” automakers by the United Auto Workers: first we’ll hear about life on the picket line on the UAW 1700 Podcast. Then, what’s in the new auto contracts? We find out on the Heartland Labor Forum.Our last segment from Labor History in 2:00, is about yet another strike, this one from 1921, when striking milk drivers dumped thousands of gallons of milk on the streets of New York City. Our bonus segment is another Labor History in 2:00, this one about America first general strike.
