In this episode, Oden and Left Voice editor and PSC-CUNY member James Hoff talk about unions, and the recent unionization wave in the United States. They discuss the basics of unions — what they are, why they're important, and how union elections work — and the factors that led to a rise in unionization efforts at Starbucks, Amazon, and other companies.
