Economic Update: Higher Education Labor United (HELU) Rises

Video Description

[EU S15 E38] Higher Education Labor United (HELU) Rises On this week’s episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff delivers updates on the Vermont Public Employers who got the contractual right to act with pay to "defend democracy," Tesla’s board offers Musk a $1 trillion CEO pay package, Trump and top corporate executives merge at Intel and other hi-tech corporations, quite like the mergers in Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. The second half of the show features an interview with Joe Berry and Helena Worthen, long-time organizers of 'contingent' scholastic faculty in the U.S. (now comprising 75% of higher education teachers), and who are now activists in Higher Education Labor United (HELU).
