Hot Labor Summer? Try Hot Labor 2024.
It’s been a big year for unions in the South.
If you’ve been following the labor movement in the region for more than a hot second, you likely know there just aren’t many union wins.
But while membership across the country was at a record low in 2023 — and the numbers are even lower in the South — 2024 saw a historic union victory in Tennessee that could reshape the future of labor across the region.
On this week's episode of the Gulf States Gumbo, we go on a roadtrip look back at the year'’s union wins and losses before peeking ahead to what’s coming up in the new year.
We also have a very special Gulf States Gem that's worth sticking around for until the end.
