Show notes
This episode of Bread + Roses is about the Roses in Bread + Roses. We first talk about where the title of our podcast and the term Bread and Roses comes from and what we owe to workers. Then we talk about the tragic increases in suicide rates within construction workers in the US. Lastly, we hear from a person working in retail talk about their work and what they need to stay healthy and happy.
