America's Union Boom Just Reached College Sports
Description
From Division I athletes to VA employees, John Deere workers, and refinery operators, this week's labor news makes one thing clear: unions aren't disappearing—they're expanding into every corner of the workforce.
In this episode segment, we break down the largest athlete-led unionization effort in college sports, the latest court victory protecting the AFGE's contract at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the UAW's push for a stronger agreement at John Deere, and the ongoing lockout of more than 800 United Steelworkers at BP's Whiting refinery.
Different industries. Different workplaces. The same conclusion: when workers want a real voice, they organize.
