Wobcast #1: Not The Standard Playbook

Introducing Wobcast!  This is a podcast produced out of the Edmonton branch of the IWW.  It is about workplace organizing, with a focus on solidarity unionism.

In this first episode, Nick Driedger explains the difference between solidarity unionism and “workplace contractualism” — the mainstream approach to organizing, handled through government-supervised elections and bargaining.

Topics include recognition as a legal category versus recognition as a political dynamic.
