More on: Worker Empowerment

The podcast episodes discuss various aspects of worker empowerment, including the importance of unionization, collective bargaining, and labor organizing to give workers a stronger voice and influence over their working conditions.

The episodes explore historical and contemporary examples of worker-led movements, such as the contributions of Cuban anarchists, the unionization efforts at the Seminary Co-op Bookstore, and the worker-owned anti-capitalist streaming service Means TV.

The discussions highlight how worker empowerment can challenge exploitative practices like wage theft, misclassification of employees, and off-the-clock work, while also promoting the democratization of workplaces and the broader goal of economic justice for the working class.
