Boot Biters

Boot Biters is a labor history podcast that strongly believes that history isn't boring and work shouldn't suck! We are witnessing an insane surge in labor organizing around the world and, of course, massive backlash to go along with it (and this is why we can't have nice things). Learning about the history of labor organizing is a first step toward understanding how we got here, how we got the protections we do have and how we hold on to them moving forward, and envisioning a world that treats workers with respect and dignity. From the first recorded labor strike in human history in Ancient Egypt to the West Virginia Mine Wars, we're going to cover it all! Boot Biters is hosted by me, Dakota, a nerdy little goof who hyper-fixated on labor history and realized how much I didn't know and how important it was that I start learning. So come learn with me, I promise we're going to have a blast!
