Apple Podcasts5weatherspotUnited States2 years ago - Super sanitation workers. Thank you.
I came across this podcast by accident. I am so glad that I did. I knew of the 1968 Sanitation Workers strike, but hadn’t realized its importance to the labor movement. This podcast was fascinating and enlightening. The interviews were great. I really dug the music. I teach a class on women, labor, and civil rights. This podcast was a great way to remind me how intertwined the movements are. We all win when they work together.

Many of us have come a long way in understanding the value that unions play in our economy. We need more of them. And this podcast helps huma... more
