On today’s show: Work Stoppage podcast gets down to the nitty gritty of how a handful of Amazon workers defeated the world’s richest man. And on the CUPE Cast from our friends north of the border, organizing news from PetSmart and Staples. Empathy Media Labs talks with Sarita Gupta and Erica Smiley about their new book “The Future We Need.” Then two pieces, one from GRIT Nation, the other from Union City Radio, prove that the labor movement does indeed have a sense of humor. We wrap up this week with the voice of Kira Fobbs, an elementary school teacher in Madison, Wisconsin, on the America Works podcast.
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.
