This week’s newsletter is in honor of Mike Parker, of the founding generation of Labor Notes, who passed away this weekend after a lifetime of labor and socialist organizing. I can’t think of a better way to honor his legacy than by spending some time with the iconic Democracy Is Power, which he co-authored, and which is now available as a free PDF online, and to which nothing I’ve ever read really compares. I’m also hosting a conversation between UAW, Teamster, and UFCW worker leaders on Wednesday night that is also free, and for which you can register here.
