May Day - 4/21/2026

Soundman Jim and Mark discuss our Word of the Week: “May Day.” This is of course in reference to the International Workers’ Day on May 1st. We will look at the anarchist roots of the May Day holiday in the fight in the US for the eight-hour workday. Then we look at the modern May Day events in the US sponsored by the coalition May Day Strong, including events in Missoula. Then we will look at the state of the US labor federation, the AFL-CIO. And at the latest attack by the Trump Administration on organized labor. We then move to the elections in Hungary and to the US/Israeli war on Iran. Then finally we will hear from Lucas Moody as he gives us his regular Missoula City Council Report. maydaystrong.org
