Essential: How the Pandemic Transformed the Long Fight for Worker Justice - Jamie McCallum


Listen Later

On todays episode I have the pleasure of speaking with professor of sociology at Middlebury College and author Jamie McCallum.

Jamie’s latest work titled, Essential: How the Pandemic Transformed the Long Fight for Worker Justice, digs deep into the of today’s working class rage and uncovers the unravelling of the nation’s social safety net and regulatory standards.

Essential is an in-depth look into how the Covid -19 pandemic changed the American labor movement and how an unprecedented recognition of a largely invisible and undervalued workforce took place.

Essential, posits that the pandemic revealed the urgent need to improve conditions for American workers, and makes the argument that the lousy jobs held by so many in our country are a liability for everyone.
