On this week’s Labor History Today: We reflect on Martin Luther King Jr.’s labor legacy and what it means for organizing today, look at how Baseball players organized to break free from a system that bound them to their teams—and built one of the most powerful unions in the country, and hear about the Seattle Union Record, a pioneering labor newspaper that showed the power of workers telling their own stories.
