In this panel discussion, co-hosted by Max and Baltimore writer and editor Rebekah Kirkman, we speak with a diverse panel of worker-organizers from around the city about their respective struggles to unionize their workplaces, what being in a union means to them and their coworkers, and what all of us can do to support one another and grow the labor movement in our town. Panelists include: Dever Cunningham, MOM’s Workers United (Teamsters); Martin Yepes, Teachers &amp; Researchers United (United Electrical Workers) at Johns Hopkins University; Leila Grothe, Baltimore Museum of Art Union (AFSCME); Andre Elkridge, UNITE HERE Local 7; Rachel Leeds, Walters Workers United Museum of Art.<br /><br />Additional links/info below...<ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl3XHexTjy0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch the video version of this live show</a></li><li>Rebekah's <a href="https://rebekahkirkman.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/rebekahkirkman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> page</li><li>Mom's Workers United <a href="https://twitter.com/momslaborunion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> page</li><li>Teachers &amp; Researchers United <a href="https://trujhu.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/teachersandresearchersunited/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a> page, <a href="https://twitter.com/TRUhopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> page, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/teachersandresearchersunited/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a></li><li>Baltimore Museum of Art Union <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bmaunion/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a> page, <a href="https:/
