We hosted another Working People live show, in collaboration with the Action Builder / Action Network team, on May 8 at the 30th Constitutional Convention of the Canadian Labour Congress in Montréal. In this panel discussion, Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Sarah Beth Ryther, employee-organizer with Trader Joe’s United in Minneapolis, and Josh Thole, former Major League Baseball player and current Minor League Special Assistant for the MLB Players Association, about what union organizing from the ground up looks like, and about how we can scale up our local organizing efforts and build the infrastructure to sustain nationwide campaigns.

  1. Tell that to the Canadian truckers who protested to fight tyranny and regain the right to feed their families.

  2. Unions turn corrupt, not a good idea. Look at the teachers union, insane power,and theyre insane. The railroad union is completely fu"ked, look at Ohio, and all the other neglects in order to increase pensions.

  3. Minor league players were grossly underpaid. MLB makes billions. The MLBPA union did great work. Trader Joe and Amazon workers are trying to form their own unions from scratch while up against employers who make 100s of billions. Imo, they should reach out to established unions and join them. They have the lawyers and money to fight for you already.

  4. Screw the scamming unions, I had employment, at a job, where we had a union. The city of Calgary, decided to axe our jobs!!!!! And you know what the scamming unions did to protect our departments employment, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!! F**K the scamming unions!!!!
