Burnes Center Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by Cynthia Estlund, author and Professor at NYU School of Law, and Steven Greenhouse, Senior Fellow at the Century Foundation.

Our guests this month have done an excellent job of putting 2023 into context in terms of collective bargaining, developments for workers and organized labor, how the labor movement has changed in the past year, and predictions on where it will go next.
