Confessions of a Union Buster
Broadcast on January 20, 2022
Hosted by Chris Garlock
Longtime union organizer Bob Muehlenkamp, who’s written an introduction to a new “activist” edition of Confessions of a Union Buster, says a half-century of union busting has eroded American democracy. Then we’ve got a brand-new song from “the singing elevator constructor,” and SpudWrench himself drops by for a visit. Last up is Jim Russell, whose book The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans explores the damages caused by the privatization of retirement plans and the connection to current struggles by labor activists.
Plus labor news headlines: Two more Boston-area Starbucks join unionization push; Starbucks employees at Calgary's Chinook Centre apply for certification with United Steelworkers; Will the Starbucks Union Victories Ignite Organizing Across the Country?; Howard University professor says Americans are quitting ‘bad jobs’; Starbucks comes to Virginia and Norton introduces pay equity bill.
Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella and Ciera Shine.
