Chapter 8: Hybrid Co-ops and Farmer-Labor Legislation

For this episode, we’ve brought back Dennis Olson, a senior policy staffer at the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, to discuss projects and policies that UFCW and others are building through a farmer-labor alliance to advance shared interests. Dennis discusses the complexity of building a farmer- and worker-owned supply chain, why a revived cattle herd and fair rules for the market are an essential labor and climate policy, and the PRO Act, which would restore the human right to organize.
