Teddy Ostro is a journalist from Brooklyn covering labor and economics. His work has appeared in Fairness and Accuracy and Reporting, The Nation, New Republic,. He's the host of the Upsurge podcast. Teddy will talk about the pending UPS strike and how they are covered in the media.
In this public News Brief, we break down media coverage of the potential UPS strike––and the trend more broadly in labor coverage––that paints a strike as something that harms "the consumer" or "the economy" rather than what it is: the only thing that gives workers any power.
Our guest is writer and media analyst Teddy Ostrow, host of The Upsurge podcast.
