The @MachinistsUnion Local S6 went out on the largest private sector strike of 2020 - and won.

If you want to get a full idea of the strike, we've got you covered.

🧵👇
During the strike @maximillian_alv from @WorkingPod spoke to Jamie, a young unionist and member of Local S6. If you want to get a hold on what the youth of the local felt during this tumultuous, scary, and exciting time, listen to his interview here: https://workingpeople.libsyn.com/jami-bellefleur 
Yesterday on @majorityfm, @SamSeder was asking for more perspective on the young unionists involved, well that's the interview to listen to, I also referenced it in my call.
Levi is a 15 year member of the local, was on the strike committee, & we talked to him after the strike about what it was like building to the strike, maintaining solidarity, and what it felt like to win. You can listen to our interview with him here:
John is *46* year member of the local. We took a 30,000 foot view with him, asking him about the history of the local, his thoughts on a new generation of militant unionists, and his hopes for the future. You can listen to our interview with him here:
The through line of all of the interviews is this: organize, organize, organize.

Because there is hope and there is power in a union.
