E269 - What Does the Election Mean for Labor? w/ Independent Labor Club of NY

On November 9th, 2024 the Independent Labor Club of NY hosted a panel at Woodbine in Ridgewood, Queens. Sean moderated this discussion between:

• Aaron Lelonde of the International Longshoremen's Association
• Sou Mi of WGA-East and Left Voice
• Gregory Butler of Int'l Union of Operating Engineers and Gangbox News
• Ellie Pfeffer of Maoist Communist Union, formerly of Amazonians United

What accounts for the realignment seen in 2024? Did large swathes of workers (including Black and Hispanic) vote Trump solely from racism and misogyny? What was the role of organized labor in the recent election? What effects might the results of the election have on the prospects for organizing labor in the future?
