Our nation's middle class was built by workers' ability to unionize and gain better pay and treatment for themselves through collective bargaining. Yet, throughout the decades we have allowed Republicans to demonize our unions and take up instead for CEOs and shareholders. What they didn't bargain on however is that workers--thanks to compounded crises have had enough and see their value outside of how much they can produce. On this episode of democracyish, Wajahat and Danielle are joined by Kim Kelly, author of the book Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor.
