Labor Heritage Power Hour

Baristas vs. Billionaires; Roberts’ Fire & Gerard’s Grit


Listen Later

On this week’s Labor Heritage Power Hour: From a Buffalo coffee shop to a national movement, this week’s show pours a strong cup of worker power. Chris talks with Oscar-nominated director and former steelworker Mark Mori about “Baristas vs. Billionaires,” his new film on the Starbucks union drive. Then we head to Matewan for UMWA President Cecil Roberts’ barnburner on courage, history, and who this land belongs to. We close with street-level memories of former Steelworkers president Leo Gerard and his mic-grabbing solidarity. Plus Labor History in 2.00 and a brand-new version of Woody Guthrie’s classic “Deportee” from Colleen Kattau.


Hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant; produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
