Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Episode 67 - How Can Workers Win?
Q: What's your assessment of how labor leaders are responding to the situation you lay out, and to what extent is the problem structural versus leadership complacency?
He argues that a mix of factors is at play: some leaders are in denial or are sentimentally clinging to managing decline, while others resist the data. He emphasizes the need for sober analysis, bold risk-taking, and a broader strategic toolkit beyond traditional campaigns.
Episode 67 - How Can Workers Win?
Q: So tell us a little bit about your background. How did you get involved in the labor movement? And how did you come to work at the United Auto Workers?
The guest describes his early organizing experiences, being fired during the Great Recession for attempting to organize, and his progression through community organizing, NEA, LaborNotes, and ultimately the UAW, where he became a chief strategist and later chief of staff, driven by a relentless commitment to worker power and democratic union reform.
Episode 66 - An Abundance Agenda for Workers?
Q: What are the main elements of the new progressive agenda for political actors in the United States and elsewhere?
The guest argues for a blend of patriotic, labor-friendly policy that combines strong government–private sector collaboration with a pragmatic openness to technologically transformative changes, ensuring that green transitions and good jobs go hand in hand rather than being treated as separate goals.
