Description

This week on Labor History Today: From Nixon’s “hard hat” protest to reform battles inside the Steelworkers, from Philly’s once-every-40-years sanitation strikes to the enduring call of the Delano grape boycott — we explore how workers have fought, organized, and reshaped history. Today’s show features excerpts from America’s Workforce Radio, Tales from the Reuther Library, The Labor Jawn, Solidarity Works, and The Rick Smith Show’s Labor History in 2:00 .

Plus: a 1922 railroad walkout that rattled the steel industry.
