This week, three strike reports. The first two are on the 3-week-old FritoLay strike in Topeka, Kansas, where the strike issues include forced overtime that’s so bad the workers call them “suicide shifts.” On the BCTGM Voices Project, we’ll hear from the picket line at FritoLay with Local 218 Chief Steward Paul Klemme in Topeka, and then the Working People podcast talks with Cheri Renfro, who’s worked at the Frito-Lay plant in Topeka for 9 years.
Then on The Valley Labor Report: Why did the UAW go on strike at Volvo in Dublin, Virginia?
From The Rick Smith Show, Jamie Martin discusses a scheme to limit access to college in Pennsylvania, and on Solidarity Works, Steel Workers Vice President Leeann Foster discusses safety and sustainability in the paper and forestry industries.
The UK-based Union Dues podcast features an in-depth discussion with Zita Holbourne, co-founder of Black Activists Rising Against the Cuts and co-chair of the Artists Union of England.
On the Heartland Labor Forum, Thomas Frank talks about populism and science and we wrap up this week with an interview on the 7th Street Chronicles podcast that will really open your eyes and hearts as Charlotte firefighters go deep on trauma and mental health.
Bonus tracks: The 1913 Michigan Copper Miners Strike Begins, on Labor History in 2:00, and a teaser for the latest episode of the San Francisco Mime Troupe’s Tales of the Resistance: Persistence.
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.
