Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
With union membership at just 12.5 percent of the American workforce, organized labor is divided about the future of the movement. Defying calls for unity within the AFL-CIO, five dissident unions last week announced the creation of an independent coalition, the latest escalation in a fight some think will split the federation. Join Kojo for a discussion on the future of organized labor.
