Join us on the first episode of the Ironworkers Rising Podcast where we welcome Rich Rowe and Charlie McCollester. Rich and Charlie are two of the preeminent historians, educators, and activists working in organized labor today. We discuss the history of the labor movement with a major focus on the all-out war it took to organize a nation of workers. We talk about the Haymarket Square Riot (Chicago, IL), the Homestead Strike (Homestead, PA), and go in-depth with the founding of the Iron Workers Union and why we need to organize and grow our proud union every single day!
