Labor Internationalism, with Carl Rosen & Bob Master
Manage episode 437948589 series 3592754
A conversation with two experienced unionists about the history of, and barriers to, solidarity between US workers and those abroad.
Carl Rosen is the General President of UE, the United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America. UE is a famously democratic, progressive, and independent union, and they have done arguably the best work of any US American union in building mutual alliances of solidarity with labor unions abroad over the last several decades, including its long collaboration with the Mexican Frente Auténtico de Trabajo.
Bob Master recently retired after 45 years in the labor movement, the last 36 with the Communications Workers of America. He was a founding co-chair of the New York State Working Families Party, and remains a member of the WFP National Executive Committee. Bob is also a big-picture strategic thinker, strategist and writer about matters of US politics, political economy, and class struggle.
