Organizing Labors Left Pole with Chris Brooks, staff writer and organizer, "Labor Notes"
As their membership and resources have continued to dwindle the question is what are the positions of and what can organized labor do to advocate for its workers against the likely assaults by the Republic juggernaut. Well talk with Chris Brooks about whether organized labor shows signs of returning to class-struggle unionism " to a no-shortcuts approach to organizing that centers labors relevance and strength on the capacity of workers themselves to take collective action in day-to-day battles with management. An injury to one is an injury to all. Chris Brooks argues that its only this approach, the tried-and-true method of the left pole within the labor movement, that will allow for there to be a renewed and a resurgent labor movement.
