On this week’s show, one day in 1969, a working woman by the name of Zelda D’Aprano took her lunch break, and proceeded to chain herself to the front door of a busy building in Melbourne, Australia in a protest that caused a sensation. What was Zelda protesting about? We find out from our friends Down Under at the On The Job podcast.
On this week’s Labor History in Two: the 1922 Chicago building trades split; in 1939, Missouri farmers and their families begin a highway sit in; and in 2003, do national security concerns outweigh the right of workers to form a union?
