Your Call: A new labor movement for the 21st century

It’s the inside story of Seattle’s successful fight to become the first city to set a $15 minimum wage, and a guide to building a powerful and inclusive labor movement.

Guest:

Jonathan Rosenblum, union and community organizer, and the author of Beyond $15: Immigrant Workers, Faith Activists, and the Revival of the Labor Movement
