WELCOME (BACK), JONAH
We’re glad to welcome back Jonah Furman, who is off to a hot start with four articles in the November print issue of Labor Notes (subscribe here). Jonah worked with us in 2018, pitching in to build our big conference and cover the teachers’ uprising. Since then, among other roles, he’s served as the National Labor Organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign.
This month Jonah appeared on ABC News multiple times to talk about the John Deere strike. Follow him on Twitter @JonahFurman.
