Rhode Island Report

Encore: George Nee on organizing, Chavez, and an unlikely assist from the mob

Listen Later

We’re taking a little time off for the summer, and while we’re gone, we’re re-releasing some of our favorite episodes. This week, we have a conversation with long-time labor organizer George Nee. When we talked to him in 2024, he’d just retired as the president of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO, so he could finally tell us an incredible story involving the mob and a lettuce boycott. Tips and ideas?
