Why are worker-to-worker campaigns winning against big companies like Amazon, Starbucks, Trader Joe’s and more? To find out, Moment of Truth host Meilin Obinata interviewed Professor Eric Blanc, author of “We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing Is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big” to learn why unions are one of the best weapons against the current administration. What are the secrets behind worker-to-worker unionizing, and why does it matter so much to Gen Z?
Moment of Truth founder Ami Chen Mill covered local International Workers Day events in her excellent and thorough Substack article. Obinata and other KSQD hosts have covered worker-led labor movements with Moment of Truth and Talk of the Bay shows focusing on the recently-formed Monterey Bay Aquarium Workers United, the Tech Workers Coalition, the historic Watsonville Canning Strike (podcast coming soon), Jamie Edwards the president of the national Trader Joe’s United and one including someone from the first California Starbucks store to unionize on Ocean Street in Santa Cruz in our Moment of Truth show about Gen Z and Labor.
