In the fifth episode of the I AM Story podcast, current labor leaders discuss how the lessons of the Memphis Sanitation Workers’ Strike are as relevant today as they were 55 years ago.
Whether it’s building resolve in the face of setbacks, understanding the power of non-violent civil disobedience, the timeless call for safety in the workplace, or how the “I AM A MAN” slogan applies to all workers seeking dignity on the job, I AM Story’s fifth episode is a must-listen for workers everywhere.
Hear AFSCME President Lee Saunders bring together SEIU’s Mary Kay Henry, AFT’s Randi Weingarten and UNITE HERE’s D. Taylor, as they talk about what the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Workers’ Strike means to them, and how they use the lessons of that historic struggle to fight for workers they represent.
