Organized labor’s two high-profile failures — and what comes next
Manage episode 290433068 series 2826627
Workers at Amazon’s warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, rejected unionizing by more than a 2-1 margin earlier this month, despite a surge of national support for their efforts, including from President Biden. This followed a failed effort to get Uber, Lyft and DoorDash drivers recognized as employees and not contractors.
Dan talks to two of the organizers involved about what went wrong, legislation in Congress that might bolster the power of unions, and where organized labor goes from here.
