Trumka on the power of labor arts

AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka spoke passionately about the key role of labor arts in the labor movement at the Great Labor Arts Exchange in 2009; he died in 2021 but we’ll hear his voice again on today’s show (the 40th gathering of GLAE will take place June 15 through 18 at the Maritime Conference Center and Hotel, in Linthicum Heights, Maryland).

On this week’s Labor History in Two: 50,000 striking rubber workers end their 5-day walkout in Akron, Ohio.
