On today’s show, newly-elected AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond talk about their plans to “leverage the resources of the labor movement” to support workers who are rising up across the country, organizing and striking for their rights.
Then, National Nurses United Executive Director Bonnie Castillo on how healthcare workers are still battling to hold together a broken healthcare system as the pandemic continues to rage.
Next, Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants,
talks about how American workers are rediscovering the power they have in their own hands when they strike.
We’ll also visit with Vinnie Alvarez, longtime president of the New York City Central Labor Council, where workers who survived the pandemic are standing up, fighting back, and winning.
Our last report comes from Karen Nussbaum, who spent the last couple of days interviewing a wide array of international visitors to the AFL-CIO convention, providing a kaleidoscopic view of the global labor movement.
And we have a special treat for you today; as we were working on today’s edition of the show, the gorgeous sounds of a capella rose above the hum of convention conversation. It was the voices of Lauren Breunig, Jeremy Carter-Gordon, Lynn Rowan, and Will Rowan who perform together as Windborne. We think you’re going to really love their version of an old favorite labor song.
