Biden Blocks Rail Strike Despite Rank & File Pressure - Economic Update w/ Richard Wolff

Labor reporter Bob Hennelly speaks about the growing militancy of the labor movement, especially in regards to the modern robber barons of the railroads. You can find Bob's book on activism and capitalism in America “Stuck Nation” published by Democracy at Work last year http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/democra...

"The labor movement and professional labor unions (large scale institutions) are equally upended by this. Do not think that they're somehow not caught up in it. In fact, they're struggling to keep up with the militancy of the masses" - Bob Hennelly
