Checking in on the labor movement momentum in Connecticut
While May Day may draw its roots from a pagan holiday pinned to spring's arrival, it has a more modern incarnation inspired by the fight for the eight-hour work day in Chicago, and later, in Connecticut.
This hour, Fairfield University history professor Cecelia Bucki discusses.
Plus, we check in on some of the recently-formed unions where we live, including Starbucks and student unions at Yale and Wesleyan Universities.
NPR labor and workplace correspondent Andrea Hsu responds.
