Joe Clement talks with Marianne Garneau about strikes and the politics of worker-power. They consider how strikes have been tamed in the last 100 year by labor law and what that has meant for their usefulness in winning gains for workers. If strikes are still useful, what makes them powerful? Marianne is a founding editor of organizing.work and an organizer with the NYC Industrial Workers of the World.
