Class Struggle in the City
November 16, 2021
The character of a city has historically been in line with the kinds of work that happens in it: steel in Pittsburgh, finance in New York, oil in Dallas, and real estate in Denver.
The character of a city has historically been in line with the kinds of work that happens in it: steel in Pittsburgh, finance in New York, oil in Dallas, and real estate in Denver. The stories of these metropolises are intertwined with the life of their working classes. As the city has changed, particularly in the last 50 years, how has work in it changed? Who does the work? Who owns the work that happens? Are they rooted in the community or far away, via an app? And how are workers organizing themselves today? Hear directly from movement leader and organizer Erica Smiley on these topics and themes.
