About this listen

You can knock the dust off an old slogan, print it on a fresh sign, and still mean every word. In this episode, we follow the echoes — from Birmingham to Bessemer, from factory gates to warehouse docks — where a new generation of workers is relearning the language of resistance. Some folks say unions are a thing of the past. But if you listen close, you’ll hear the people remember.Further Reading :
