“Labor Spring” sweeps nation
from Your Rights At Work Hosted by Christopher Garlock
Broadcast on March 2, 2023 Hosted by Chris Garlock & Ed Smith In one of the largest series of labor-focused teach-ins in recent memory, academics have joined with workers, Gen Z activists, unions and others to launch “Labor Spring.” These events, held on college campuses and in communities nationwide from late February through early May, are clear outgrowths of the current moment’s surge in union organizing and pro-worker sentiment. We talk with Dr. James Benton, director of the Race and Economic Empowerment Project at the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University, which launched the effort.
