Kristen and Kyla celebrate May Day with special guest Emily Leedham, Prairie Reporter for Press Progress, and editor of Shift Work, a weekly newsletter round-up of national labour news, strikes, lockouts and new organizing across Canada.
Some of the topics covered in this episode include the current state of labour and unions in Canada, discussing how companies employ anti-union tactics (calling out Uber and Amazon specifically), how COVID has and will continue to affect labour in Canada, how the current state of journalism hurts the labour movement, and how workers can become empowered to protect themselves in a world that is becoming increasingly difficult to work in. Emily recommends the Organizing For Power Course, as well as Jane McAlevey’s No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age and Eric Blanc’s Red State Revolt to learn more!
