Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeftRadio.

On today's episode I have on my good friend Comrad and previous guests of the show Mel Bior

to talk about the recent strike wave taking over the United States.

Although she doesn't consider herself a labor journalist, she does do labor journalism

and is one of the best journalistic voices on the ground right now here in Omaha for

the Kellogg's workers strike.

So we just talk about the dynamics of these strikes, some of the contradictions within

them, what they implicate about the rest of society and the labor movement more broadly

and touch on a lot of really important and timely things regarding this recent working

class or on a son if you will.

It's really encouraging to see.

So yeah, without further ado here is me and Melanie's discussion on exactly that topic.

Enjoy.

My name is Mel Bior.

I am an educator, a leftist, sometimes journalist.

Yeah, hi, what's up?

Hello.

I'm a researcher.

I'm writing a book.

A lot of things where as many hats today you're wearing a cubs hat.

Yeah.

You just want to mini.
