Worker Resistance in Big Tech / JS Tan & Clarissa Redwine

Oct 13
Episode 1935
The story we tell in our book is how workers themselves, in participating in collective action, gained class consciousness. On the flip side, we also tell the story of how the bosses, in seeing this worker movement, also developed class consciousness. We call that the billionaire class consciousness.

JS Tan and Clarissa Redwine join us to discuss their new book from Haymarket Books, Against Tech Oligarchy Worker Resistance in the World’s Most Powerful Industry.

"Rotten History" from Renaldo Migaldi follows the interview.
