Episode Synopsis "Episode 1 - The Issue at Hand"

In this episode, I am joined by Nick Marcil to discuss the issue at hand: the decline in teachers' union membership and coverage since the early 1980s. We review the historical context of this decline and the factors possibly contributing to this decline. We also attempt to answer the questions, "Why should I care?" and "Okay, what can I do about it?"  I produced this project to meet the requirements of the West Chester University course PSC 401: Senior Project. Intro and outro music by Raphael Bossniak on YouTube!
