Wade Rathke, Chief Organizer for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) International and a contributing writer for Working Class Perspectives, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and spoke about a recent blog he wrote entitled, “A Movement Moment and a Real NLRB.”
The blog explores why recent union wins at Amazon and Starbucks and a worker friendly National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) present a unique opportunity in labor history, and how workers should use this momentum to make meaningful change.
Rathke also talked about the possibility of the NLRB making captive audience meetings a violation of national labor laws, and why the Amazon Labor Union was successful in its efforts to unionize Amazon employees.
