Description

We feature an interview with Vermont State Labor Council, AFL-CIO President David Van Deusen about union democracy, preparing for general strikes and the Vermont labor movement. We also look at the origins of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution and how the pivotal Shays Rebellion led to its adoption. We celebrate worker victories in unionizing at Black Coffee Roasters in Missoula and at the Bozeman Daily Chronicle newspaper. Add in the ongoing attendance conflict workers are having with the BNSF railroad and the current success of Starbucks workers in organizing, and you have our show with Sue Kirchmyer, Jim the Soundman and Mark.
