ABOUT THIS EPISODE
With St. Patrick's Day around the corner, we sat down with the owner of the most prominent Irish brogue in California politics: Robbie Hunter, head of the State Building and Construction Trades Council. Hunter started his career as a steelworker, but his labor bonafides go deeper than that: his great-grandfather was an Irish labor organizer and steeplejack who helped build the Titanic, and Hunter was raised on a steady diet of labor history and organizing. He shared some of those stories and gave an update on the status of labor unions in the state.
