It’s not working on the railroad

<p>Labor historian Erik Loomis (<a href='https://thenewpress.com/books/history-of-america-ten-strikes'>A History of America in Ten Strikes</a>) talks with <a href='https://www.thericksmithshow.org/'>The Rick Smith Show</a> about how the issues that brought rail workers to the brink of a major strike this week trace back to a long history of abuse by railroad bosses, and a tradition of militance by the men and women who work on the nation’s railroads. Plus, historical perspective on the tentative rail agreement from <a href='https://prospect.org/'>The American Prospect</a> Editor At Large Harold Meyerson.</p> <p>On this week’s <a href='https://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/'>Labor History in Two</a>: the 1934 textile strike and the 1947 Harvester strike.</p> <p>Questions, comments or suggestions welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at <a href='mailto:LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com'>LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Labor History Today is produced by <a href='https://unioncityradio.podbean.com/'>Union City Radio</a> and the <a href='https://lwp.georgetown.edu/'>Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor</a>.
