Please note this interview was recorded over a telephone call. Craig Simpson reflects on his life as a labor organizer, with special attention to the 1978 Metro Strike and the nearly three decades working with the labor movement as an employee of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Craig remembers the events between 1974 and 1978 that led to the 1978 Metro wildcat strike in precise detail. While the previous generation of bus drivers was entirely white men, the generation that led the strike was majority Black and included an increasing number of women. Craig speaks about how different generations of drivers came together for the strike. He also talks about his own early political development. While in high school he participated in demonstrations against the war in Vietnam and was active in support of a teachers strike. After working at WMATA, Craig worked for a number of labor unions and progressive organizations. Today he continues support labor struggles in various ways.
