In this episode, Jayden speaks with Octavio—an electrician from Curaçao—who takes us on his journey from suffering uncompensated injuries as a non-union worker, to leading a movement to unionize his workplace.

Jayden is a student at Bard High School Early College Manhattan. He is always looking to make new friends, is the leader of his school's Badminton Club, and loves playing basketball. Someday in the future, he hopes to become a data scientist.
