Episode 272: The Folly of Reimagining Big Labor

A new union-curious faction of conservatism is growing in the run-up to the 2024 election. Leading the charge is a group of otherwise solidly conservative legislators (you’ll recognize the names) and policy wonks who have the ear of venerable conservative think tanks (you’ll recognize these names, too) who insist that if conservative candidates are going to win, they must reimagine 75 years of union distrust and take seriously the idea that the right has become the party of the working man. And the working man, they reason, might just need unions. CRC’s labor policy expert Mike Watson disagrees and he, along with our colleague Ken Braun, joins the podcast today hosted by Sarah Lee to discuss statism from the right.
