America’s Work Force Union Podcast
Business:Careers
Michael Shields of Policy Matters Ohio was the first featured guest on today’s installment of America’s Work Force Union Podcast. Shields spoke about PMO’s yearly study titled “State of Working Ohio” which details how the economy and working people of Ohio are thriving or struggling.
Next, United Steelworkers 2L President Jim Mason joined the podcast to discuss President Trump and his disdain for Goodyear after they banned their workers from wearing “Make America Great Again” hats at work. He also spoke about labor laws and how there has been a great disregard for them by companies during the pandemic.
Our third and final guest on AWF Union Podcast today was Sharon Johnson. Johnson is a writer for The Progressive magazine. Johnson spoke with host Ed “Flash” Ferenc about the critical roles that essential workers play in our economy. She also covered topics addressing lack of sufficient access to Personal Protective Equipment, the fight for hazard pay and new protections for workers.
