May Day Recap, New Network Shows

from Labor Radio-Podcast Weekly · host laborradiopodcastweekly

This week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly is our May Day recap special, featuring reports from across the country on the biggest crop of actions in decades —and welcoming new shows to the Network. From Work Stoppage, a reminder that May Day is a day of action, not celebration. New to the Network, Solidarity Report digs into the history and meaning of International Workers’ Day, Maryland Labor History captures a story transformed by a sudden mill closure, and Project Labor explores the realities of representing workers on the shop floor. Plus, We Work Europe highlights Ukrainian women workers supporting their communities during wartime, and Concrete Gang revisits the fight for the eight-hour day—won through collective action. On Shows You Should Know: Union Or Bust — organizing at San Diego Musical Theatre; Apple Box Talks — IATSE’s John Lewis on AI and Canadian crews; The Docker Podcast — urgent fight against automation in Tacoma; Working People — Post-Gazette layoffs and the future of journalism; The Powerline Podcast — building stronger union halls and supporting members. The Labor Radio Podcast Weekly brings you highlights selected from more than 200 labor shows across the Labor Radio Podcast Network.
