Josh Eidelson and Dorian Warren on the State of Labor

Jeremy Gantz

Working In These Times Contributing Writer Josh Eidelson recently appeared on Bloggingheads.tv with Columbia University Assistant Professor Dorian Warren to—as Bloggingheads described it—”discuss a recent attempt to silence union picketers that was defeated with help from the Tea Party, and how public-sector unions remain a ripe target for Republicans. How does labor law affect union strength? Can labor organizers take lessons from the 1930s? Finally, Dorian and Josh explore the role of unions in articulating a vision of workplace democracy.”
