There were three featured guests today on the AWF Union Podcast. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown was the first guest. He discussed an effort to expand manufacturing hubs. He also stressed the need to implement legislation that would cease the outsourcing of American jobs in the name of cost cutting.

North Carolina State AFL-CIO President MaryBe McMillan was our next featured guest. She spoke about women in labor and diversifying the workforce, organizing in the south, why unions were highlighted during the pandemic and passing the PRO Act to keep corporations accountable.
