E12 — Silicon Valley Needs Unions

this week we're joined by julie swoope to discuss a weird false equivocation btwn transgender and transracial identity in class-first marxist circles. we also talk about unionizing start-ups and specifically our experiences working at kickstarter leading up to its effort to unionize we reference this adolph reed jr post from 2015 a bit and also the kickstarter union oral history podcast we'll probably have julie back on sometime to make fun of tech's VC culture. as always thanks to airhead dc for the theme song
