The Union Difference

Robert Kuttner celebrates the success of New York's Local 6 that
represents more than 40,000 restaurant and hotel workers in America's
largest city. It has something that has vanished in most
industries-serious worker power, even in a pandemic.

State AGs Helping Workers in Hard Times

Terri Gerstein shows how degraded working conditions and labor law
violations have been aggravated by COVID-19, and workers clearly can't
count on Trump's labor team. State justice departments are stepping
into the void.

to make progressive change happen?

When the Politics of Class Turned Upside Down

Kelly Candaele reviews a new book about the Hardhat Riot, a 1970 battle
between construction workers and anti-war activists that left hundreds
wounded. This is when, the author argues, the Republicans began to lay
claim to the white working class.
