Episode 7: The Plague of Worker Expendability with Sabiha Basrai and Ricardo Nuñez The Plague
-
- Performing Arts
In this episode, we speak with guests Sabiha Basrai and Ricardo Nuñez about the plague of worker expendability in our current economy, and how worker owned-cooperatives are the cure. The coronavirus has only put into starker relief a problem we have always had--that the lives and well-being of many workers are considered disposable by the CEOs and shareholders of their employing corporations. So, how do worker-owned cooperatives give workers shared opportunity, rewarding careers, and the ability to make a living without cutthroat competition with each other? And how, in practical and legal terms, can folks start a cooperative for themselves?
Host and Editor: L.M. Bogad: www.lmbogad.com
Music: Jason Montero https://m.soundcloud.com/jamoja, and by my other friend named Jay
