As a continuation of the America’s Work Force Union Podcast “Best of 2023” coverage, today’s episode features a replay from June 21 featuring David Cann, Director of Organizing with the American Federation of Government Employees. He discussed the union’s organizing success in the first half of 2023 and the union’s plans to continue the trend going forward. Cann also discussed the organizing model used by the AFGE and why empowering Local Unions and members is the key to successful organizing.
On July 4, Independence Day, the America’s Work Force Union Podcast was joined by Independent labor voice Tom Buffenbarger who talked about the history of Harley-Davidson. As part of the AWF “Best of 2023” coverage, Buffenbarger talked about the post-war problems Harley-Davidson faced and how unions like the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers helped make Harley the company it is today.
