Nurses strike looming in NYC

Some American trade unionists have argued that labor should remain neutral on the question of Palestine. In fact, the US labor movement has never been neutral: its union officialdom has a more-than-century-long history of allying with Zionism.

In this episode of Building Bridges, labor historian and assistant professor at the Harry Van Arsdale Jr School of Labor Studies, SUNY Empire State University Jeff Schuhrke discusses his work on the disturbing history of Zionism within the US labor movement.

Mimi also pays tribute to her beloved co-host Ken Nash who recently passed away.
