A Labor Day Brew Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

Union guru Danny Brewer comes back to celebrate Labor Day with a little history on the labor movement in America. We talk about why you should really have a union, but you probably can't because you've let all your rights as a worker get taken away. So good job on that one.

Oh hey everyone,
