'Unions of Our Own': In Conversation with Daniel Gross

As you may have noticed, it’s been awhile since my last episode, and I am very stoked to be back behind the mic bringing you more conversations from the labor movement and beyond.  On the show this week is Daniel Gross to talk about his forthcoming book, Unions of Our Own: 8 Building Blocks to Change Work and the World. The book provides a “radical, step-by-step framework for workers who want to fight for the better workplaces they’ve always envisioned—and dream of bigger changes too. Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, said in his praise of the book, “Finally, Daniel has brought us Unions of Our Own, an immensely practical and accessible guide for building workers’ power. Daniel’s vast experience organizing with workers comes through in every page of a book that is sure to become an instant classic in an era of increasingly chaotic politics and economics. If your workplace lacks a union, this is the book to read with your fellow workers. If you are already a union member: read this book to expand your ranks and build more power from the bottom up." Daniel is a veteran labor organizer and cofounder of the IWW Starbucks Workers Union, former labor lawyer and co-author of the classic Labor Law for the Rank and Filer: Building Solidarity While Staying Clear of the Law.  Pre-order Daniel's Book here.
