The fake struggle between workers and consumers

Episode 52 with Max Alvarez

This week, we’re joined on KK&F by Maximillian Alvarez, host of Working People podcast and editor-in-chief at The Real News. In the wake of recent news about the tragic, needless deaths of six workers at the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer this year, Krystal sat down with Max for a necessary conversation on the mainstream narratives putting customers’ convenience over workers’ needs, the ongoing legacy of Reagan-era fetishization of wealth, and the problems and potential we see in current bipartisan support of strikes.
