Fighting Back Against Austerity with Alliance Ouvrière

About this episode

Jay discusses the fight against austerity in Quebec with Kiersten and Adam from Alliance Ouvrière.

In the midst of historic cuts to public services in Quebec, workers are fighting back. Jay sits down with Kiersten and Adam from Alliance Ouvrière (Workers Alliance; the organization that successfully unionized the Amazon warehouse outside Montreal) to talk about their Nos jobs, nos services campaign, which seeks to react to austerity by radicalizing workers, mobilizing fighting unions, and revitalizing the political strike as a weapon of the working class.
