Description

On this week’s Labor History Today, we feature the Tales from the Ruther Library podcast, where Dan Golodner talks with historian Dr. Justine Modica about the history of childcare labor in the U.S. and the “Worthy Wage” movement that emerged in Seattle in the 1990s. Plus: in labor history, striking Teamsters in 1934 Minneapolis defy martial law. Hosted by Patrick Dixon.
