31:08Now PlayingHow Worker-Led Movements Can Save Us From Trumpism
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump and Musk’s attacks on federal workers is an attack on ALL workers. If Democrats aren’t going to save unions, we will have to save them ourselves.
Eric Blanc, author of We Are The Union, joined Francesca to talk about the future of the labor movement in the U.S.
It’s no secret at this point that the Trump regime is anti-worker. Federal workers have been getting summarily fired. The NLRB and Labor Department have been decimated. Trump straight up illegally canceled the TSA union agreement, which he is now being sued over. This may be the most anti-worker administration in modern history. How can the labor movement overcome this attack?
First, we need rapid expansion of our unions. As it stands right now, only about 10% of the workforce is unionized. The higher that percentage gets, the more power we can wield over the billionaire class. Second, we need to expand where we are unionized. Tactics like salting, which is where union organizers apply to work for non-union companies, has resulted in the successful unionization of places like Starbucks.
These huge companies rely on our labor to extract wealth. Without us, they offer nothing. Time to organize and show them where the real power lies.
