This episode is an audio version, read by myself, of an article I recently wrote for Meduza: "Builders in Solidarity - A rambunctious Russian-speaking union shakes up Sweden’s labor movement". It was published earlier in the summer, as part of Meduza's excellent English-language newsletter, The Beet.

Here is a link to the article.

And here is a link to a longer article I wrote for Jacobin in the spring, where I look more closely at the minutia of the so-called Swedish model of labor relations, and how Builders in Solidarity fits into the current crisis it is experiencing.
