Episode description

Every Wednesday at 6 PM ET, Jen Pan, Ariella Thornhill, and Paul Prescod host a new episode of The Jacobin Show, offering socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the audio version of the broadcast on February 17, 2021.

Richard Hooker, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 623, discusses how he became involved in rank and file union organizing in the labor movement, how unions help break down racial tensions, and the challenges that he and other UPS workers have faced during the pandemic. We also cover the Texas power outage and workplace surveillance.
