May 1, 2017: A 40-hour work week and paid sick leave are benefits that many in today’s workforce expect - and take for granted. Organized labor is to thank for these and other hard-won protections, yet today only 1 in 10 American workers are unionized.
Join host Joseph Pace tonight - on May Day - as he speaks with local labor leaders and organizers about the current state of the labor movement in the Bay Area and California. What are the priorities and opportunities for labor’s future?
