66 | The Solidarity Economy

December 14, 2022 07:00 - 31 minutes - 43.9 MB

The idea of a cooperative, or co-op, where everyone who works at a company is also a part-owner, is nothing new. New York state is home to more co-ops than anywhere else in the country. To wrap up our series on work and labor, we’re checking in with Brooklynites who are organizing and maintaining worker co-ops, and in the process creating a less exploitative, more equitable workplace, way of life, and world.  • Brooklyn, USA is produced by Emily Boghossian, Shirin Barghi, Charlie Ho...

63 | Get Up, Get Down, Brooklyn Is A Union Town

November 23, 2022 07:00 - 20 minutes - 28.7 MB

The COVID-19 pandemic demanded more of workers: longer hours, angrier customers, and increased exposure to disease. Now, workers across the country — from baristas to warehouse workers to nurses — are organizing to demand safer, fairer workplaces. Workers in New York City are leading this wave of action, unionizing more workers than anywhere else in the country.

62 | The Worker Doesn't Go Away

November 16, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 49.5 MB

Art has long been a lever for working class solidarity and social justice. It’s also a collaborative form of labor that props up some workers and devalues others.
