The Flight Attendant Who Wants You to Go on Strike | 2025 in Review
"All this week, What Next and What Next: TBD are re-airing some of our favorite conversations from throughout the year and checking back with the people in those conversations to see how things have - or haven't - changed. This episode is from April. The Trump administration's actions on immigration and firing the federal workforce have drawn condemnation from all sorts of unions-from building trades to graduate students. What happens when labor speaks as one?"
