S4 E5 – How a unionized job changed my life

Independent labour journalist Kim Siever has worked in a lot of jobs since he entered the workforce back in 1989.

He’s been been a fry cook, a construction worker, a gas jockey (3 times), a retail clerk (5 times), a carpet cleaner, a courier (2 times), a dispatcher, a fleet manager, a processing clerk, a website developer, a communications specialist, a tutor, and a stockperson.

Only one of those jobs was unionized, and in episode 5 of season 4 of the Alberta Worker Podcast, he wanted to highlight some of the more notable ways that job differed from the others.
