EP19: Wildcat strikes in Asia, Socialism in Seattle

In our June episode, we spoke with Kshama Sawant about her campaign to win the House seat in Seattle's 9th Congressional district. Kshama was a member of city council in Seattle for about a decade, helping to win important victories for the working class such as the highest minimum wage in the US, the Amazon tax, and stronger protections for tenants. She is also co-founder of the organization Workers Strike Back. Additionally, we discussed tariffs, imperialism, and working class unity. In the Dollars and Sense Debrief, Chris Sturr interviewed economist Amanda Page-Hoongrajok about the recent history of wildcat strikes in the garment industry of Vietnam, China, and Bangladesh. #wildcatstrikes #fightback #socialism #kshamasawant *** Dollars and Sense Debrief with Chris Sturr and Amanda Page-Hoongrajok - 3 minutes Feature interview with Kshama Sawant - 18:25 minutes
