Can Labor Stop Trump and Musk? | Eric Blanc on theAnalysis.news

from theAnalysis.news · host Paul Jay

On this episode of theAnalysis.news, Frank Hammer speaks with labor scholar and activist Eric Blanc about the growing role of organized workers—especially federal unions—in confronting the Trump-Musk authoritarian agenda. They discuss the resurgence of May Day protests, the push for a general strike in 2028, and the urgent need for mass resistance now, not later. Blanc outlines how Trump’s attacks on federal unions are a warning shot for the entire labor movement, drawing historical parallels to Reagan’s PATCO firings. He also calls on union leaders, including the AFL-CIO, to move beyond court battles and into coordinated, disruptive action.
