Essential workers unite!

Broadcast on September 8, 2022 Hosted by Chris Garlock & Ed Smith Last week we talked to U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh about the induction of Essential Workers of the Coronavirus Pandemic into the Labor Hall of Honor. This week we talk with Wade Rathke, Chief Organizer for ACORN about how “Essential workers are taking action” and organizing. “Acknowledging workers' importance doesn't give employers the right to exploit them,” he says. Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella and Kahlia Chapman. @wpfwdc @aflcio #1u #unions #laborradiopod @ACORNunion @UnitedLabor
