In this public News Brief, we break down media coverage of the potential UPS strike––and the trend more broadly in labor coverage––that paints a strike as something that harms "the consumer" or "the economy" rather than what it is: the only thing that gives workers any power.

Our guest is writer and media analyst Teddy Ostrow, host of The Upsurge podcast.
