They gave you weekends, bathroom breaks, and the idea that your boss maybe shouldn’t work you into the grave — but unions still manage to stir controversy. Love ’em, hate ’em, or never really thought about ’em — they’ve shaped more of your daily life than you probably realize. In this episode, Carrie and Doug get into the messy, fascinating world of organized labor: how it works, why it matters, and what about them might surprise you. From personal stories on the ground to the big fights around workplace rights, they’re pulling back the curtain on the power (and decline) of collective action. Whether you’re a die-hard union member, a skeptic, or just here for the tea, this conversation will have you rethinking who’s really got your back on the job.
