All of the strike activity we’re seeing right now is a hopeful sign for
those who want to see an economy that works for everyone. In this
episode, we speak with Margaret Poydock and Jennifer Sherer of the
Economic Policy Institute, co-authors of the recent report What to know about this summer’s strike activity.
We discuss what’s driving the recent wave of strikes, the challenges
workers encounter when seeking to strike, and the policy changes that
would strengthen workers’ ability to act collectively.
