Working 24 Hours in New York City
<p>On March 20th, home care workers in New York went on a hunger strike to demand an end to the dreaded 24-hour workday. States in the Global North seek to alleviate their aging populations by bringing in workers from the Global South, where imperialism and neoliberal policies have forced these workers to immigrate to global metropoles such as New York City, only to end up trapped in sweatshop labor. Jun and Yolanda from Youth Against Sweatshops and the Ain't I a Woman campaign share with us stories of home care workers struggle, as well as connecting the fight against the 24-hour day with gentrification and Palestine. </p> <p><br></p> <p>You can support home care workers by donating to: https://nomore24.org/</p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow the Ain't I a Woman campaign here:</p> <p>Website: https://www.aintiawoman.org/</p> <p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiwcampaign/</p> <p>Twitter: https://twitter.com/aiwcampaign</p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Youth Against Sweatshops here:</p> <p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youthagainstsweatshops/</p> <p>Twitter: https://twitter.com/youthasnyc</p>

Workers' Democracy in China w/ Yueran Zhang
<p>We are back after a long hiatus, with a brilliant guest to discuss China, a topic many of our listeners have long asked us to cover.</p> <p>Our guest is Yueran Zhang is a PhD student in sociology at UC-Berkeley studying workers democracy movements in China, particularly in the 1970s-1980s. </p> <p>This episode was initially intended to be focused on the specific era of workers' self-organization in the late 1970s-1980s, but our guest also gave a brilliant schematic overview of the Chinese Revolution, the Mao era, the Deng led 'reform' period and how workers organized throughtout, all the way up to the present. This episode therefore serves as a great introduction to PRC politics generally. </p> <p>You can find his work and contact info here: https://sociology.berkeley.edu/graduate-student/yueran-zhang</p> <p><br></p> <p>https://jacobin.com/author/yueran-zhang</p>
