Critical Hour Discussion of L.A. Workers' Strike, Fight For Abortion Rights in OH & AZ
My Wednesday, August 9th Critical Hour discussion with Dr. Wilmer Leon on the one-day Los Angeles city workers’ strike and the fight for abortion rights via ballot initiative in Ohio and constitutional amendment in Arizona.
Critical Hour blurb:
Jim Kavanagh joins us to discuss the one-day strike by thousands of city workers in Los Angeles yesterday. Dr. Kavanagh says this is a strike of the workers who make the city run and was limited in that it was a one-day strike focused on whether they would continue negotiation on unresolved issues from last year's contract. "What it demonstrates, says Dr. Kavanagh, is that the workers are willing to fight for their power to withhold their labor and cause trouble." Kavanagh says that fighting is the only way for workers to get what they need and the worker's power is to work together in order to overcome the devastations that are happening in the economy.
