Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 72 - On the Line With the Teamsters with Yael Bridge and Jeremy Flood
Q: How did you deal with the fact that the strike ended up not happening?
Bridge and Flood describe the uncertainty as difficult to film and fund, but say the workers' debate over whether the tentative agreement was sufficient made the documentary more complex and meaningful than a strike-centered story would have been.
Episode 72 - On the Line With the Teamsters with Yael Bridge and Jeremy Flood
Q: Why do labor documentaries, and why is making them important to you?
Yael Bridge is moved by the collective action she sees at picket lines and believes it can create productive change. Jeremy Flood sees labor stories as essential but under-told, and views the labor movement as a clear expression of working-class struggle.
Episode 71 - How New York's Hotel Workers Built Their Union with Shaun Richman
Q: Tell us a little bit about the origins of this book. Why were you interested in researching and writing about New York's hotel workers?
I had literally lived the environment as a union organizer and saw how a long arc of organizing, factionalism, and political shifts shaped a unique industry-wide bargaining system; archival FBI files, old union newspapers, and a history of the HTC all pointed to a story that connected local labor struggle to broader political dynamics, including syndicalist influences and the role of the Communist Party.
Episode 70 - UAW's Rocky Road to Reform with Nelson Lichtenstein
Q: Can you start with Barofsky? Tell us about him and his role as federal monitor overseeing the UAW in this context.
Barofsky is a federal monitor established to ensure fair elections and to oversee anti-corruption efforts within the UAW; his intervention has been controversial, particularly around Gaza-related actions and internal elections, and his reports have influenced leadership dynamics and investigations.
Episode 67 - How Can Workers Win?
Q: If someone wanted to think or learn more about the sorts of strategic and organizing questions you raise, what would you recommend?
He recommends key books and authors on structure-based organizing, momentum organizing, and worker-to-worker organizing as foundational resources to understand different models and adapt to contexts.
