            Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. She’s been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment.
