Here is the latest Labor and Working-Class History Newsletter. It is a post-mortem on the November elections. Many good interventions, including one that I put together on why the Biden industrial policy initiatives had so little political impact. ..

Sherrod Brown's career is admirable, one reason I object to the elegiac music in this video statement. Moreover, there is something really wrong when Brown, author of the Butch Lewis Act, restoring the pensions of a million Teamsters, does not win the class support he deserves.
Thanks for your exemplary public service -- which I hope is not over!

Coming from Jaz Brisack that is very encouraging, but I remain mystified as to why the negotiations have lasted so long. Same is true with UAW at VW where we have no contract eight months after NLRB victory.
@NelsonLichtens1 Looks like there’s been a lot of progress toward a contract and Starbucks is much more scared of public pressure than they are of the NLRB!

Martin di Caro is an excellent interviewer and he rounds out the questions and comments with many fascinating sound bites and takes from the people and events being discussed. Sort of an audio take on my history of Clinton's economic policy.

What is going on in Starbucks negotiations? What are the sticking points? Starbucks is trying to destroy the NLRB, so I am worried

Visiting my local bookstore, I found on the most prominent book table a new 2024 Princeton Univ Press edition of Capital. This confirms, once again, what Andrew Hartman writes in his important, forthcoming Marx in America: "As long as capitalism persists, Marx cannot be killed."

But it has been Biden’s radical NLRB that has actually accomplished something to help workers unionize. This will end under Trump.
