As #HotLaborSummer is revealed as a turning point - not just a season - long strikes will become the norm. Bosses still don't believe in worker power, and until they get their minds right, they're going to keep on trying to starve their workforces back inside. To get a sense of how long workers will have to hold out, just consider the #WarriorMet strike, where Alabama coal-miners stayed out for *23 months*:

From our newest ep:

#WarriorMet wasn’t just exerting power to harm their #workers. Most of their effort was meant to reify an oppressive system & the constantly hammered but still semi-abstract messaging about individuality, "#freedom" & a general apathy & distrust of people working together towards a #unified goal.

But the W-M leadership wasn't just starving their own workers into submission, they were also sending a message to ALL workers: get in line or die. #labor #union #warriorMetStrike

New episode!

The Warrior Met corporation and the state worked together to snuff out a righteous workers #strike in Alabama and the #media failed the #workers just as badly, myself included.

Join me as we discuss why and how this happened.

[I was not able to get the video version up in time for this morning but it will be up at some point late tonight/early morning 3/14]
