On today’s Your Call, we’ll talk about the divide between organized labor and the public. The recent Bay Area Rapid Transit workers’ strike failed to win wide spread support from commuters. What might bridge the gap between the unions and the public? What do unions need to be telling people? What do you think about workers organizing and striking? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
