Organize or Freeze: Labor’s Winter Showdown
This episode breaks down why unions still work—even as organizing faces political and economic headwinds. We cover new data showing union workers earn more and have better benefits, major wins like the UAW’s first contract at Volkswagen in Chattanooga and Iowa nurses unionizing with the Teamsters, and ongoing strikes by healthcare workers in New York and at Kaiser Permanente.
We also look at the push to pressure Starbucks over stalled contract talks, the growing crisis of soaring utility bills in New York, and how a historic general strike in Minneapolis is fueling new conversations about May Day and nationwide collective action.
