Solidarity Breakfast; Power at Work; On Writing; Tales from the Reuther Library; On The Line: Stories of BC Workers
Description
This Week on the Labor Radio/Podcast Weekly: From a mass climate-justice blockade in Australia to the hidden labor history of British Columbia’s fruit-packing women, this week’s episode ranges across the movement to bring you standout stories from the Labor Radio Podcast Network.
We kick things off with Solidarity Breakfast, reporting from Newcastle’s Rising Tide camp, where thousands gathered to shut down the world’s largest coal port. Then, Power at Work digs into the escalating fight over Amazon as New Jersey’s attorney general sues the company for violating worker-protection laws, with Teamsters organizer Randy Korgan connecting the legal battle to on-the-ground organizing.
Public media writers join On Writing to break down the growing threats to free speech and funding in public broadcasting, while Tales from the Reuther Library features AFA-CWA President Sara Nelson on why labor history is a critical tool in today’s contract fights. Finally, On The Line brings us the story of the “Apple Box Belles,” the union women who powered BC’s fruit-packing plants for decades.
Plus: our “Shows You Should Know” speed-round segment highlights more excellent episodes across the Network.
