Following the 1964 Civil Rights Act, it was actually flight attendants and their unions who were some of the first to use provisions in that act to challenge discrimination in the workplace. Producer and reporter Cristina Kim talks to fellow producer Peter Balonen-Rosen about making Throughline's episode about the U.S. labor movement (https://n.pr/3NLZFzG) and they share a deleted scene from the episode about a pivotal flight attendant strike in the 1990s.
