Description

Although workers' efforts to form a union at the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama ultimately failed, the David versus Goliath attempt "is a reflection of how broken our labor laws are." Molly Kinder looks at growing public support for unions and says it's critical for policymakers to act to make it easier for workers to organize for their rights.  Show notes and transcript: https://brook.gs/3wISdLx Follow Brookings podcasts on Apple or Google podcasts, or on Spotify.
