Belabored Podcast #153: Workers On the Frontline Today and Tomorrow

<!-- (Steve Pavey / Kentucky Poor People's Campaign) --> [contentblock id=belabored-info] We take a long view of worker activism on the frontlines of today and the future, with interviews on the UPS workers lining up for a strike, from the picket line of the AT&amp;T strike in the Midwest, behind the uprising by Google workers who drew the line against collusion with the Pentagon, and on the movement to fight Wall Street with a public bank in New York. With recommended reading on one small southern town’s fight to protect migrant families, and the rabble-rousing sex workers rallying in New York for dignity and respect on the job.
