Teamsters Convention Recap + Bridging the gap between labor and the GOP

This week on the Worker Power Hour, we bring you three engaging conversations highlighting the people, perspectives, and businesses that make our communities stronger. First, we're joined by Jenny Hernandez, a Teamsters Local 1932 member with the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, who shares her experience attending the 31st International Brotherhood of Teamsters Convention for the very first time. Jenny reflects on what she learned, the importance of member participation, and why the convention left her inspired about the future of the labor movement. Next, we sit down with Philip Cothran, Chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Party, for an honest discussion about the relationship between the Republican Party and organized labor. We explore where common ground exists, where differences remain, and what it would take to strengthen dialogue between union members and conservative leaders. Finally, we're joined by Tim Ballard from Camping World, who shares the story behind his business, his passion for serving customers, and what it takes to succeed in the outdoor recreation industry. We discuss entrepreneurship, community involvement, and the role local businesses play in strengthening our region. Whether you're interested in labor, politics, or local business, this episode has something for everyone.
