On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: from the inaugural episode of The Labor Notes Podcast, which just launched yesterday: When Nippon sought to acquire U.S. Steel in a $15 billion acquisition last year, the companies went to great lengths to convince U.S. Steel workers that the deal would benefit them too (and not just line executives’ pockets).
