Oren Cass: The rise of the pro-worker conservative is changing the US

On this special guest episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Sam Jacobs has Wells King on the show.
 
Wells King is the Research Director for American Compass, an organization that seeks to push labor-friendly policies in the conservative movement. With 40 percent of union voters going for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, it is clear that a fresh look at unions and workers’ power is in order. Sam Jacobs and Mr. King discuss woke-ism in labor unions, the free market as a tool rather than a principle and proper role of government in the current housing shortage.
