LABOR HISTORY TODAY PODCAST: Who’s Got the Power: Hope for Troubled Times

Chris Garlock | Published on 12/27/2025
On this week’s Labor History Today podcast, labor organizer and researcher Eric Dirnbach talks with Dave Kamper, author of Who’s Got the Power: Hope for Troubled Times, about the post-pandemic union upsurge. From graduate student organizing and teachers’ strikes to the UAW’s stand-up strike and bargaining for the common good, Kamper reflects on what history can teach us about moments of possibility, and why solidarity is re-emerging as a force for change.
