Passing the Torch - Welcome to Season Three

Black Work Talk’s third season explores where the energy for this current wave of labor activism comes from, how it impacts Black workers, and a fresh vision for what’s next. Listeners will hear conversations with rank and file workers from unions including the UAW, Teamsters, and the Writers Guild of America. New hosts Bianca Cunningham and Jamala Rogers offer educational tools and compelling strategies for the 90% of American workers who have yet to organize — and have an opportunity to seize the moment.

To get started they are joined this launch episode by author, international trade union activist, and long time friend of the show, Bill Fletcher Jr. In the episode, Bill interviews the new hosts to learn more about who they are as well as what they bring to the black worker movement.
