Union Girl Summer: Why Unions Are Good For Women and Everyone

from Hearsay · host Liz Shuler, Jesica Bush, Jessica Baskerville, Hilary Woodward, Lark Lewis

With the SAG-AFTRA and Writers’ Guild of America strikes, 2023 was the year of the union. While the media buzzed about the solidarity and popularity of unions, we have known for a while that unions have always been beneficial for all workers, but especially women workers. What caused the resurgence in support for unions? How do unions play a major role in the fight for equal pay? Why should you seek unionized workplaces when job searching? We talked with Liz Schuler and Jesica Bush about the importance of unions in creating workplaces that at minimum keep us safe and at maximum allow us to thrive.Resources:Info from the AFL-CIO on how to start a union: https://aflcio.org/formaunionNWLC Fact Sheet on Why Unions Are Good for Women: https://nwlc.org/resource/unions-are-good-for-women/
