In this episode, Elias Lopez gives a reportback on this year's Food Chain Workers Alliance Summit that took place in Springdale, Arkansas to protest working conditions and child labor at Tyson's meat packing plant. Through audio of the protest, interviews, and panel discussions, we uncover the connections between our labor organizing struggle across all sectors of the food chain, and across the nation, for the empowerment and liberation of all workers.
