Hot Labor Fall: Auto Workers Out on Strike, Writers Guild Victorious
Negotiators for the Writers Guild of America and the big Hollywood studios reached a tentative contract agreement that ended the screenwriters\u2019 strike after 148 days. We hear from J.T. Allen, who was a WGA strike captain at the Warner Bros. picket line near Los Angeles. \n\nThen we spend most of the segment with labor historian Toni Gilpin about the historic autoworkers strike now in its third week with workers out on strike in more than 20 states. Gilpin comes from a proud UAW family and is the author of The Long Deep Grudge: A Story of Big Capital, Radical Labor, and Class War in the American Heartland.
