Max Alvarez (@maximillian_alv) and Mel Buer (@mel_buer) of The Real News Network (@TheRealNews) join the crew to discuss US rail workers' struggle for paid sick days and other markers of basic dignity. In the second part of the interview, we ponder where the workers go from here? What does it mean to develop a militant labor movement in this country?
