Organizing the Working Class under Biden w/ Jane McAlevey | Jacobin Show

Labor organizer Jane McAlevey joins The Jacobin Show to discuss strategies for building a working class movement under a Biden presidency. We also cover the Biden inauguration, new initiatives to tax the rich, and the difference between political power and vigilante violence.

Jane McAlevey has been an organizer and negotiator in the labor movement for over twenty years. She is also the strikes correspondent for the Nation, senior policy fellow at the UC Berkeley Labor Center, and author of the books Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell), No Shortcuts, and A Collective Bargain.

The Jacobin Show airs every Wednesday at 6 PM ET and offers a socialist perspective on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. The hosts are Jen Pan, Ariella Thornhill, and Paul Prescod.
