On this week’s Labor History Today: We turn up the “today” in Labor History Today with a special edition focused on the historic, open-ended strike now underway at Starbucks. Nearly 2,000 union baristas at 95 stores in more than 65 cities have walked out — the boldest action yet in the Red Cup Rebellion — and we bring you the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly’s roundup of how shows across the network are covering this fast-moving struggle.
Hear frontline voices from Working People, Work Stoppage, We Rise Fighting, Labor Notes, and WBAI’s What’s Going On as baristas, organizers, and labor reporters break down understaffing, impossible time standards, corporate cup-writing mandates, community solidarity, and why workers are calling for a nationwide Starbucks boycott.
Plus: a brand-new strike song from veteran labor troubadour David Rovics, and — at the end — a little bonus from the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly crew.
No contract, no coffee. Tune in.
Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at [email protected]
Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor.
