Ep 49: A New Labor Movement Crawls Forward

Back after a bad month, I return with two shorter episodes; The first covering labor stories including one in video games via a game industry journalists youtube show, a 2nd involving farm worker rights in New York, and a 3rd with sex workers in the UK. Unions are important, but its a hell of a climb from the pit we’re in but everything done by everyone matters.
