The Working Class Is Organizing Again—At Work and at the Ballot Box

In this segment, the stories may seem unrelated—but together they point to something much bigger.

We examine Abdul El-Sayed's upset victory in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, growing signs of working-class politics gaining traction across the Midwest, and what those elections may signal about the future of economic populism.

Then we turn to the labor movement, where 1,700 locked-out Cargill workers reject a contract they believe still falls short, Iowa nurses fight for recognition after voting to unionize, and nearly 10,000 Michigan nurses secure a landmark first union contract after more than a year of bargaining.

From voting booths to picket lines, this episode explores how demands for better wages, affordable health care, workplace democracy, and greater worker power are reshaping both politics and the labor movement.
