Episode 22: Workers of All Worlds Unite (with Will Nguyen)

Gay Space Communism

Over the past month, we've seen #Striketober take form. Workers all over the United States are forming unions, going on strike, and demanding better working conditions from their employers. One such movement is the #IATSE strike, or The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. These workers produce all of the TV, movies, and other on-screen entertainment that we love, including Star Trek. To show solidarity with these workers, we've invited our comrade Will, AKA The Star Trek Communist, for back-to-back episodes to get into all the details. Listen as we talk about:

• The growing labor movement across the country - and the world
• Why is worker solidarity so important?
• What are some examples of labor movements from Star Trek?
• Why the utopia.... isn't one
