Who Gives a Damn About the American Worker ?

🎙️ AMERICA AT 250: WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THE AMERICAN WORKER?

The eight-hour workday, weekends off, overtime, workplace safety, collective bargaining, healthcare benefits, and retirement security weren’t corporate gifts.

Workers fought for them!

In Season 5, Episode 75 of Cuckoo4Politics, I’m joined by Keturah “KJ” Johnson, International Vice President of AFA-CWA, for a Labor Day conversation about worker power and the future of organized labor.

Using the airline industry as a lens, we tackle corporate power, collective bargaining, strike power, fatigue and scheduling, pay disparities, AI and automation, politics, and whether unions have done enough to show today’s workers why they still matter.

KJ’s message says it all:

✊🏾 “Solidarity is a verb.”

So who gives a damn about the American worker—and are workers willing to stand up for one another? Or will they be distracted by false promises from corporations and government—promises that keep them from claiming the greater prize: fairness?
