Black Work Talk’s third season goes to the source of the energy for this current wave of labor activism, looks at how this surge impacts Black workers, and offers a fresh vision for what’s next. Listeners will hear conversations with rank-and-file workers from unions including the United Auto Workers, the Teamsters, and the Writers Guild of America. New hosts Bianca Cunningham and Jamala Rogers offer educational tools and compelling strategies for the 90% of American workers who have yet to organize—and have an opportunity to seize the moment.
For this launch episode, Bianca and Jamala are joined by author, international trade union activist and longtime friend of the show Bill Fletcher Jr., who interviews them to learn more about who they are as well as what they bring to the Black worker movement.
