Economist and author Michael Zweig says that the workers’ movement has essentially lost in this country.
According to Zweig, the forces that seek to concentrate power have been extremely effective in putting down worker movements. His new book focuses on class, race, and gender.
Zweig is in Rochester as a guest of the Rochester's Poor People's Campaign, but first, he joins us on Connections.
