About this episode

Turning Tides: Links in the Chain will discuss the American labor movement. The fifth episode, Workers, They Wrote, will cover the period from 1934 to 1962, in which the labor rights movement in America becomes a force to be reckoned with under FDR's New Deal before crumbling under their own issues and inefficiencies in combination with forces formed against them.If you'd like to donate or sponsor the podcast, our PayPal is @TurningTidesPodcast1, or you can donate to us through our Buy Me a Coffee link: buymeacoffee.com/theturningtidespodcast.
