And Jonathan Rosenblum talks about his new book, Beyond $15: Immigrant Workers, Faith Activists, and the Revival of the Labor Movement. Rosenblum, the former campaign director at the Sea-Tac Airport, details the behind-the-scene fight for $15/hour in 2013. The book, he writes is an “examination of power in our society today—how it got so imbalanced, the devastation this imbalance has wrecked, and what working people can do and must do to reclaim power and voice in our society.” Labor Song: Redemption Song - Playing For Change/ Song Around The World Also, if you miss our live show – or want to hear a past show – Your Rights At Work is now available as a podcast!
