We've got a quick break from our series on the intersection of the study of Cybernetics and the Labor Movement for an interview! This week we were very excited to speak with AshlyRuth and Diana, two worker organizers with the Union of Southern Service Workers. The South has long stood as a bastion of Right to Work anti-labor laws, with bosses and politicians using racism to divide workers. The USSW is fighting to change that by using cross-sector organizing and drawing on whole communities to fight for better conditions for workers all over the South. AshlyRuth and Diana speak about some of the experiences they've had, both as service workers and as organizers, the awful working conditions they've faced personally, and how the USSW is helping them fight back.
