A new position of power for American workers


Listen Later

Across the country, workers are angry -- demanding better pay and conditions. Since last week, some 10,000 John Deere workers have been on strike in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Colorado and Georgia after rejecting a pay raise that didn’t go above 6 percent. It’s the largest strike of the pandemic - but not the only one.

  • Plus, Netflix workers stand up for the trans community.
  • And, Biden’s plans for vaccinating kids against covid.
  • Guests: Axios' Courtenay Brown, Ina Fried and Marisa Fernandez.
