Union Free Radio, Ep. 17: What The Kellogg Strikers Actually Lost Union Free Radio

Unions and their allies are calling the Kellogg strike a "win." But, is it?
The 11-week Kellogg strike is over. However, while the union movement is calling it a "win," some strikers and some reporters are questioning whether the strike was, in fact, a "win" or a failure.

In this last episode of Union Free Radio for 2021, host Peter List walks listeners through the main-reported issues of the strike, as well as how much strikers potentially lost.
