Episode 23: Gene Bruskin Part 2: Building the Anti-war Movement in U.S. Labor


Listen Later

Gene Bruskin, a long-time union organizer and anti-war activist joins our producer Jeff Rosenberg for part 2 of our interview, to share power stories of his experience building the anti-war movement within the labor movement. Gene was a founding member of U.S. Labor Against the War, an organization formed in the early 2000's to build mass opposition from unions against the war in Iraq. He worked with Iraqi trade unionists to tour the U.S. and culminated in the first ever AFL-CIO resolution against an active U.S. war. More recently, Gene helped to found the Labor Network for Ceasefire, which would grow to a majority of the labor movement standing against the U.S. backed and funded genocide in Gaza. Listen in to hear his lessons from these experiences and outlook on how workers can fight for justice on the job and for a pro-worker foreign policy.
