Joining us this week to talk about the rise of public sector unions via militant strike activity is Joe Burns, life-long union organizer and contract negotiator. We discuss his latest book, Strike Back: Using the Militant Tactics of Labor’s Past to Reignite Public Sector Unionism Today, and outline how the unlawful strikes of the 1960s and 70s provide a lesson for trade union organizing today.
