Worker solidarity livestream: Striking workers need your help to win

from The Real News Podcast · host The Real News Network

With strikes and unionization drives spreading throughout the country, 2022 has been a year of intense labor struggle. However, the bosses, the ruling class, corporate politicians, and their lackeys in the media are doing everything they can to squash these rank-and-file movements and beat workers back into subservience. If we want to see the labor movement grow, we need to be there for workers when it counts the most, and we need to do whatever we can to make sure they win their fights. Now more than ever, we have to support working people on the front lines fighting for better lives, better workplaces, and a better world.
