Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
This week we have a follow-up from a previous questioner who wants more advice on what to do when your union breaks your heart--how to forgive, how to forget, and how to fix a labor movement that often doesn't take its duty of care seriously. And of course we check in about dogs, films, and life in late capitalist hell.
Stuff We Talk About:
Judith Stepan-Norris and Maurice Zeitlin, Left Out: Reds and America’s Industrial Unions
Nate Holdren, Injury Impoverished: Workplace Accidents, Capitalism, and Law in the Progressive Era
Erik Loomis, Empire of Timber: Labor Unions and the Pacific Northwest Forests
Les Leopold, The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor: The Life and Times of Tony Mazzocchi
We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in London.
