About this listen

In the third episode of our mini-series on the state of labor, Harry Rosenblum, host of Feast Yr Ears and Time For Lunch, talks to Fred Mattera. Fred is currently the Executive Director at the Commercial Fisheries Center of Rhode Island, and has been a commercial fisherman for over 4 decades.

Harry and Fred discuss how equipment innovation (or degradation) affects workers, and how consumer education and consumer-facing technology could help revitalize the industry and protect its workers.
