Description

In our weekly discussion of labor and unions, Mike Elk of Payday Report and Bob Buzzanco of Green & Red Podcast discussed the upcoming UAW vote at a Mercedes plant in Vance, Alabama, and the long-term organizing
efforts there. We had a great conversation about Shawn Fain's veto of a bill for the UAW to divest from Israel and how Fain's actions might not match his rhetoric. We also talked about the role of unions in campus protests as about 1/3 of the UAW workers are students.
