Then, teaching history shouldn’t have to mean re-living it on the job. Workers at Colonial Williamsburg are being worked to the bone and exploited, just like in the old days, says their union, UNITE HERE Local 25; Benjy Cannon reports.

The ongoing strike wave reminds many of The Labor Upsurge of the 1930s and ’40s in the United States; we talk to political scientist Michael Goldfield about today’s lessons.

Plus, Before The Fall, a brand-new song from the R.J. Phillips Band, and listeners call in on a range of workplace issues.

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella & Kaliah Chapman.
