Episode description
In this episode, we discuss the unprecedented strike earlier this year at Rutgers University with Todd Wolfson, the president of Rutgers AAUP-AFT. Of the strike and their common good model of organizing, he had this to say: “For 50 years, I’d say public universities have been on the defensive.” Now, he said, “I think we turned the tables and we moved the ball perceptively in the other direction.”
The episode is hosted by Mariah Quinn, AAUP's digital organizer.
