Episode notes

Rutgers professor Donna Brazile talks about her union's fight to protect low-wage workers. She says it wasn't a "clean struggle" as the university tried to lay off adjunct faculty and dining staff. But eventually they agreed to work share in return for furloughs, she says. It was an enormous administrative lift for the union, but it was built on precisely trying to translate solidarity and the protecting of the most vulnerable into a concrete program," said Brazile.

Featuring Donna Murch and Todd Wolfson on Rutgers University workers' industrial unionism strategy. The second in a two-part series on the crisis in American higher education.
