Description

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard  Wolff discuss how millions of workers across France and the UK have  gone on strike in recent days and weeks to protest a raft of anti-worker  measures, including efforts to roll back the  right to strike and the right to retire with dignity. What can we learn  from these episodes in the class struggle as Wall Street prepares  similar attacks here in the United States?
Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.
