We’re joined by Jonathan Melrod (twitter.com/JonathanMelrod), author of the new autobiography “Fighting Times” (pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1289). We talk about the factory turn of the 1960s, SDS/RYM II, encounters with the Red Squad, and his 13 years fighting in American auto plants and as an activist in the UAW.
