Get Hired with Andrew Seaman

While Labor Day in the U.S. is just the end of the summer for many today, it was originally a crucial recognition of the work of labor organizers in the late 1800s. But organized labor didn’t stop there. Labor historian Jefferson Cowie, author of books including Stayin’ Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class, joins Andrew to walk through an abridged history of organized labor in America. He also talks about what we should think about while enjoying Labor Day sales and BBQs this year. Check out Dr. Cowie’s work here.
