Remembering Frank Emspak (1943-2024) | Frank on labor and the media | Wisconsin civil service | Amazon-Teamsters | Virginia schools | New union nurses | Poor Peoples Campaign

In this show, we remember Labor Radio co-founder Frank Emspak, who died June 14 at the age of 80. In a 2023 interview at WORT, Frank tells the story of Workers Independent News, which for a brief time brought union news into mainstream commercial radio. In labor news: It's the annual birthday celebration of the embattled Wisconsin civil service system, Amazon workers ratify a switch to the Teamsters, SEIU Wisconsin has thirteen new member nurses at UnityPoint-Meriter in Madison, public school teachers see victory in Virginia, and the Poor Peoples Campaign holds an online rally ahead of its June 29 gathering in DC.
