On today’s show, Washington Hilton housekeepers were up in arms on Tuesday; we find out why from UNITE HERE Local 25’s Paul Schwalb. Then, the Montgomery County Council last week unanimously approved an expansion of the Prevailing Wage; Stephen Courtien, president of the Baltimore-D.C. Metro Building and Construction Trades Council tells us what that will mean for local building trades workers.
Our final guest is longtime union organizer Daisy Pitkin; her brand-new book, ON THE LINE: A Story of Class, Solidarity, and Two Women’s Epic Fight to Build a Union, takes a very timely behind-the-scenes look at the fight to build a union.
PLUS: Ballad of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire(Bev Grant) and the latest labor news headlines.
Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella.
