Episode notes
In this episode we learn about the Arab American Auto Workers in Detroit who went on strike in 1973 to demand their union divest from its investments in Israel. We talk about their wins and losses, Black worker's cooperation with their Arab peers, the wider historical context of Palestinian activism and the BDS movement, and what happens when unions aren't acting in the interests of all their workers. Free Palestine.
