We’re joined by Matthew Cunningham-Cook of The Lever where he has done tremendous reporting covering rail workers’ push for better working conditions. He gives us background on the fight for better union contracts, how the Biden administration intervened and now the push in Congress to “avoid a strike” that ultimately might not include very modest demands from workers for paid sick leave.You can follow Matthew here: https://twitter.com/matthewccook5If you’d like to become a subscriber (paid intern!) to the show and gain access to our full back catalog of premium episodes, you can subscribe here:
