Can anyone recommend a great video or podcast that explains why it's so hard for workers to form and join a union? (I know about a lot of written materials but I'm looking for audio or video) Thank you!

This is gross and horrible. But also depending on where it’s located, it may also be illegal bc of the state or city paid sick leave laws.

Every labor union & worker should be outraged that anti-union billionaires are using their huge financial might to donate hundreds of millions to elect Trump. These billionaires badly warp our democracy. To save our democracy, we need to limit their power theguardian.com/us-news/articl…
