This week’s Labor Radio/Podcast Weekly features the Green and Red Podcast honoring civil rights and labor champion Jesse Jackson and his lifelong fight for economic justice and multiracial working-class solidarity. The Valley Labor Report speaks with Dr. Augustus Wood about his new book Class Warfare in Black Atlanta and why Black working-class struggle remains central to confronting inequality and building liberation movements. On My Labor Radio, letter carriers organize nationwide rallies demanding fair contracts, living wages, and respect for essential public service workers. The FedEx pilots’ union podcast Fly By Night highlights how worker feedback leads to real improvements in safety and working conditions, while Australia’s Concrete Gang defends construction unions against political attacks and makes the case for unions’ critical role in protecting wages, safety, and dignity. Finally, Tales from the Reuther Library marks its 100th episode with a look at the Radical Fund, showing how bold ideas and strategic support helped advance labor rights and civil liberties during some of America’s most turbulent times. The episode concludes with our “Shows You Should Know” roundup, featuring strike votes by Nova Scotia care workers, ongoing coverage from the Working People podcast, organizing lessons from Labor Notes and Labor Force, and new data on strikes and work stoppages from Power At Work. 👉 Subscribe, listen, and follow us at laborradionetwork.org @PodcastGreenRed @LaborReporters @mgevaart @FedExPilots @cfmeu_cg @ReutherLibrary#LaborRadioPod #1u #UnionStrong #WorkersVoices #SolidarityMedia @AFLCIO Help us build sonic solidarity by clicking on the share button below.
