All on the Same Ocean

All on the Same Ocean

We live in a global market, and most of the clothing and electronics that we use are made halfway around the world. They’re transported across the ocean to get to us, by people that seem so different from us and so far away. When we delve deeper into our struggles, we find that we have far more in common than we think. Today’s story is about solidarity. How our struggles across the globe are connected. And as it turns out, how we need each other to succeed. This week on ReWork, we bring you a story all the way from Hong Kong. Join us as we hear from Stephen, a dock worker, and Loy, a union leader who, together, spearheaded the Hong Kong Dock Workers’ Strike in the spring of 2013.

But most of the time we know even our most favorite teachers just inside the classroom. So what happens when we learn what they are going through outside of the classroom? In this week’s episode of Re:Work, UCLA student Tyler Milles uncovers what happened to his favorite teacher in the four years since he last saw him.
