Part 1:
We talk with Patrik Johnsson, correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor. We discuss unionization in the South. Specifically, we discuss the inroads that the UAW has made in manufacturing plants in Tennessee, and now Alabama's Mercedes factory workers will be voting on this issue on Friday. We talk about the strategies used by union organizers, many of whom are the workers themselves.
Part 2:
We talk with Luke Goldstein, writing Fellow at The American Prospect. We discuss the Maryland Democratic primary for the US Senate. The contrast between the two candidates: current Representative Trone, a very rich, self-funded candidate, and a woman of color, who is currently County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. Despite the millions spent by her opponent, she won the primary. She will face off against former governor Larry Hogan in the general election. We discuss the dynamics of the campaign, and how the large money did not win.
