YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

After more than 100 years, Master Lock's iconic factory in Milwaukee is shutting its doors in March 2024. The closure will result in 400 lost union jobs, and also mark the end of a former industrial region of the city that once housed some 50 plants. The Real News, In These Times, and Workday Magazine speak with current and former Master Lock workers on what the closure of this longstanding plant means for them and their community.

This video was made in partnership with Workday Magazine, In These Times, and The Real News Network.
