In this blogcast, Burnes Center for Social Change Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by Miren Algorri and Johanna Hester to discuss the recent important contract victory for more than 60,000 child care workers in California. Watch now to learn more about the lives of child care workers and how the right to organize and bargain collectively has shaped child care provision in California.
