from Labor Radio-Podcast Weekly · host laborradiopodcastweekly

On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: From America’s Workforce Radio, we revisit the Vietnam era’s “Hard Hat” protest and how labor’s stance on war split the movement. Tales from the Reuther Library explores rank-and-file reform in the Steelworkers with the story of “Oil Can Eddie.” Labor Jawn takes us inside Philadelphia’s once-every-40-years sanitation strikes. On Solidarity Works, the legacy of Cesar Chavez and the Delano grape strike is remembered as a call to action for today’s immigrant workers. And the Labor Heritage Power Hour uncovers the radical roots of the American West in the Great Cowboy Strike of 1883. Plus, Harold Phillips spotlights “Shows You Should Know” from across the Labor Radio Podcast Network. Help us build sonic solidarity by clicking on the share button below. 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. @AWFUnionPodcast @ReutherLibrary @labor80132 @steelworkers @LaborHeritage1#LaborRadioPod @AFLCIO Edited by Captain Swing, produced by Chris Garlock; social media guru Mr. Harold Phillips.
