Why the Economy Looks Good But Workers Are Struggling

The economy may look strong on paper, but workers are telling a different story. This week, we examine rising inflation, growing financial insecurity, AI-driven layoffs, remote work isolation, faculty governance battles, and major labor fights from Cargill to Walmart. We also discuss the AFL-CIO's plan to organize 2 million workers and the push to make first union contracts easier to win. Topics: • Inflation & cost of living • AI layoffs & Meta restructuring • Remote work & worker health • Auburn faculty governance dispute • AFL-CIO organizing drive • Faster Labor Contracts Act • Teamsters vs. Cargill • Walmart union victory • SoFi Stadium labor dispute #LaborForcePodcast #LaborNews #UnionStrong #WorkersRights #WorkerPower #Teamsters #AFL_CIO #SolidarityForever
