The UAW Strike Story Not on the News with Larry Cohen

Rethinking Trade with Lori Wallach

13-10-2023 • 25 min

We're thrilled to present our latest episode of the Rethinking Trade podcast. Lori is joined by Larry Cohen, former President of the Communication Workers of America, for a guided tour of the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike.


(Spoiler alert: There’s a lot more about this strike and how it could impact all of us than most of us know!)


Larry brings his decades of experience building worker power and broad knowledge of labor history to discuss:

·     The big issues not gaining headlines, like how the strike could broadly shape U.S. workers’ fate in the future green economy,

·     The role this strike plays in the arc of U.S. workers struggles,

·     Where we need to go from here, including what we need to push Congress to do.

Larry’s knowledge and experience makes this conversation a must-listen for anyone interested in a fair economy and social justice.
