Discussion: Peter Cole "Organizing Wobbly Unions"

Historian Peter Cole describes one of America's most incredible, yet little known, unions. In 1913, thousands of Philadelphia dockworkers formed Local 8 of the Industrial Workers of the World. Local 8 was the most progressive, multiethnic union in the nation until its demise. Joining Cole will be New York's Wobblies, who will screen a short film and discuss their present day organizing.
