    At Philadelphia's 2025 May Day Rally and March, Gabe and Sam ran around with a microphone to get recordings from union members, organizers, and workers.

    Each person was asked 4 questions:
    -Who was the worst boss you've ever had and why?
    -Are you part of a union?
    -What does being a union member mean to you?
    -What was your favorite moment of solidarity that you've witnessed?
