Podcast Summary
Union jobs: Union jobs are hard to come by and necessitate dedication, but labor history and activism are essential for improving working conditions for all
Union jobs are not easily obtained and require dedication and effort. This was emphasized in the Labor Radio Podcast as they discussed the scarcity of good union jobs, especially in the manufacturing sector, over the last few decades. Additionally, the podcast highlighted the importance of labor history and activism, as evidenced by the upcoming Luther Pollock Labor History Symposium and the anniversary of the 1968 sanitation workers strike in Memphis. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s quote, "be concerned about your brother. You may not be on strike, but either we go up together or we go down together," further underscores the interconnectedness of the labor community.
