The New Labor Forum has launched a bi-weekly newsletter on current topics in labor, curated by the some of the most insightful scholars and activists in the labor world today. Check out some highlights from the latest edition below.

This newsletter comes to you in the wake of the New Hampshire primary. The results are in, and Bernie Sanders has won his first state, and won big time. In an article due out in the May 2016 issue of New Labor Forum (with updates to include analysis of primaries through Super Tuesday) Thomas Gallagher charts the course of this improbable presidential candidate and asks: Why now? Why him?
