Radicals at Work

Several Labor Center alumni have helped put together a new website for labor activists — “Radicals at Work”. The site launched in the summer of 2009 as a place for young activists to share stories and news, contribute articles, and have conversation and debate about issues related to work and the labor movement.

We come from many jobs and communities – we are young rank and file workers, office workers, union and non-profit staff, activists working with workers centers, students, and teachers. We have a shared commitment to grassroots democracy and a workers movement that takes on racism, sexism, homophobia and isn’t afraid to go head-to-head with the boss.

Recent feature articles include an interview with a tattoo artist, update on immigration policy, how-to tips on creating an effective flyer, and the impact of the recession on young workers.
