November 28, 2018 Union City Radio Labor History Today (11/25): Organizing at Walmart and Amazon
This week's labor history: On this week’s show, Isaac Evans from the Arena Stage and James Gardner from Signature Theatre remind us about when a cast of International Ladies Garment Workers Union members took to the stage on Broadway to perform the pro-labor musical revue “Pins & Needles.” Patrick Dixon talks with former organizing director Peter Olney about why the UFCW tried to organize the big-box giant Walmart and what that means for Amazon workers today. Plus, American Income Life’s George Farenthold tells us about the day insurance agents struck.
