We check in with labor reporter Alex Press about the Sean vanguard emerging in the UAW and Teamsters, if the the unions are moving left and if the left is moving closer to the working class, recent updates from Amazon, Starbucks, and Trader Joe's unionization drives, cross-border solidarity with Mexican and US autoworkers, reflections of striketober and the great resignation, something interesting Andy found in the trash, and much more!
