The last few years have seen a wave of labor organizing, as it becomes more and more clear to workers that what they do is not expendable but actually the heart of every business. From walkouts to unionization, workers from Starbucks to Amazon to your local coffee shop have come together to build and exercise their power. In this episode, we explore the issues that led people to organize their workplaces, the ins and outs and ups and downs of the process, and the backlash.

On the forefront of the next labor revolution, we visit a coffee shop in Maine called Little Dog, whose staff starts a union. Then we talk to Robert Chlala from the UCLA Labor Center about the rise in unionization efforts among service workers and the social and cultural ethos in a post lockdown country that have led to this new wave of the labor movement.

GUESTS:

Robert Chlala – Assistant Professor, CSU Long Beach & Visiting Researcher at UCLA Labor Center
Jessica Czarnecki, Sydney, Sophie, Kira – Workers at Little Dog Cafe
