Labor Pains — Unions, Yes!
About the Episode
Episode 19 explores how the global pandemic transformed work. The shifting landscape may be a catalyst for jobs with justice. We investigate unions, jobs and race with organized labor advocates.
“Black workers are the canary in the coal mines. We don’t win until we [can] define the value of our labor, until the world reckons with our relevance.”
“People have resigned from work, declined to take certain kinds of jobs…I think what organized labor needs to do is to turn that anger into organization.”
“Black women have been the driving force of a strong labor movement. Black women are most likely to be organized and most likely to be active.”
“We should all be striving for a job that includes us in decision making, allows us to tap into our creativity…a job that actually gives us joy!”
