Sally Kohn: I put out a call on Twitter for people who had experienced deeply personal transformations as a result of their involvement in a union drive. She received nearly a hundred from people all over the country who wanted to share their stories. It seems like it's a widespread phenomenon that people who are involved in union drives, find themselves being deeply changed by them and then you can always wake up from the feeling that this is how it ought to be or has to be or will always be.Kohn: The more organizing we do across the country, the more people there will be who don't just take it as a given that work means that you're giving up any sort of autonomy
Featuring Daisy Pitkin on her book On the Line: A Story of Class, Solidarity, and Two Women's Epic Fight to Build a Union, a memoir that powerfully captures the drama of an organizing drive—and so much more.
