Im in DC on a “labor reporter vacation” and after popular request from many folks in the labor movement, we’ve decided to throw a happy hour at Marx Cafe in Mt Pleasant tonite.
We will be raising money to cover the growing strike threat at General Motors.
Come on, come all, come party at Marx Cafe tonite.
Mike Elk is an Emmy-nominated labor reporter who covered everything from Lula & the Brazilian labor movement to major league baseball. He spent years covering union organizing in the South for The Guardian and was labeled by the New York Times as an "abrasive gadfly" for exposing within the labor movement.
Raised in a UE union family in Pittsburgh, Elk was illegally for union organizing at Politico in 2015 and used his NLRB settlement to start the crowd-funded Payday Report. He lives in his hometown of Pittsburgh and is fluent in both Pittsburghese and Portuguese, which he learned when attending journalism school at PUC-Rio de Janerio. Email: [email protected]
