Union Activities and Essential Workers During a Pandemic

Labor and employment relations professor John Logan joins us to talk about unionizing in the modern era, particularly recent activism during the pandemic, the state of union membership, and how the crisis might affect labor organizing. We also talk about the large numbers of essential employees who are endangering their health and lives to feed and take care of the rest of us and what safety provisions should be put in place immediately to keep them as safe as possible. An eye-opening episode with an important message for this moment.John Logan's profile:https://cob.sfsu.edu/directory/john-loganJohn's Op-Ed that he mentions:https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/labor/490964-grocery-unions-protect-workers-and-save-livesA related episode: "A Brief History of Labor Unions"https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/deardiscreetguide/episodes/2020-02-18T09_00_00-08_00Thoughts?
