Power At Work Blogcast #109: Corporations Undermining Democracy with David Sirota and Luc Triangle

In this blogcast, Burnes Center for Social Change Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by David Sirota of The Lever and Luc Triangle of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) to discuss how some wealthy corporations are aggressively engaged in undermining democracy and how the labor movement is fighting back.

In this episode, Seth, David, and Luc will discuss a new report issued by the International Trade Union Confederation — the ITUC — entitled “Corporate Underminers of Democracy 2025”, and new book titled "MASTER PLAN" by David Sirota. Seth, David, and Luc will discuss the report and book, along with other recent developments in the battle to preserve democracy. They will also discuss why worker power and the labor movement are essential to winning that battle.
