On this episode I have brought back two guests who have been here before, along with a third guest that we are all excited to meet. Speaking to things more familiar to those of us in the United States, David Van Deusen - former president of the Vermont AFL-CIO - has joined us and will help to get things going. Next, René Berthier - CGT member and anarcho-syndicalist - will be discussing some things more specific to the context in France. And finally, our new guest Anna Rebrii from the Emergency Committee for Rojava will give us some insight into the situation in North East Syria and the unionization efforts ongoing there.
Stay tuned for the group discussion after the one-on-one interviews!
