Heartland Labor Forum • Aug. 29, 2019

Before he was a socialist, Eugene Debs was an avid railroad unionist with a dream of one union for all rail workers. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum we talk to David Walters coeditor of a new collection of Debs’ early writing. Then ever heard of bargaining for the common good? It’s a new trend where unions broaden demands beyond wages and benefits to win gains for people in their communities. How is that possible? Find out Thursday at 6pm rebroadcast Friday at 5am when we talk to Marilyn Sneiderman, labor educator at Rutgers.
