The Rick Smith Show; The Checkout; Your Rights At Work; For A Better World; My Labor Radio; America’s Workforce Radio; On the Line: Stories of BC Workers

On this week’s show, we feature three reports on the strike by Nabisco workers, which spread this week to five states across the country. We’ll hear from The Rick Smith Show, The Checkout Radio, which is a brand-new member of the Network, and Your Rights At Work.

Then, from the For A Better World podcast, another new Network member, we’ll hear about the importance and benefits of having fair trade in Cote d'Ivoire cacao farms as they deal with Nestle.

On My Labor Radio, UAW member Damicko Stockard talks about partisanship between union members and the current state of organizing, and we’ll meet Fred Redmond, the new Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO, on America's Workforce Radio.

We wrap up the show with the story of how the musical Pins and Needles came to Vancouver BC in September, 1938, from On the Line: Stories of BC Workers.

Highlights from labor radio and podcast shows around the country, part of the national Labor Radio Podcast Network of shows focusing on working people’s issues and concerns.
