GENERAL STRIKE Now? (w/ Labor Historian Erik Loomis)



Published
This week, Briahna Joy Gray asked history professor and author of A History of America in Ten Strikes, Erik Loomis, whether the past reveals the potential of the current labor surge. How did we go from almost no union activity to a workforce strong enough to force FDR into creating the modern social safety net in ten years or so? What role did third party's play, and is the modern left too indifferent to supporting third party movements? And importantly: why is there so much hostility to the idea of a general strike? What does history tell us about the power of solidarity strikes, and what can we do today to make these "illegal" strikes more likely to occur?
