Unions Are Vehicles of Justice (with Mary Kay Henry)
Manage episode 285273480 series 2784682
For over 40 years, Mary Kay Henry has fought for the rights of workers with the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU. With the rise of COVID-19 and an increased reliance on essential workers, these rights have too often been disregarded, leaving many without adequate personal protective equipment or access to fair wages and benefits. This week, Mary Kay joins us to talk about unions as a vehicle of justice for a racially diverse workforce that’s representative of our country.
Keep up with Julián on twitter @JulianCastro and Instagram @JulianCastroTX.
