A striking miner’s daughter speaks

On today’s show: a different voice from the nearly year-long Warrior Met Coal strike; that of a six-year-old miner’s daughter, on the Heartland Labor Forum.

Next up we hear from a couple of new Network members: on the Baltimore Labor Report, REI workers in New York City organize, and on the AFGE Y.O.U.N.G. podcast, how being a federal employee affects AFGE members politically, what they can and cannot do.

Then, Crispin Hernandez of Workers' Central of Central New York updates For a Better World about the campaign to lower the threshold for overtime for farmers.

We have two international labor reports today: from the Solidarity Center podcast, how workers defied the odds to form a democratic union at the GM plant in Silao, Mexico, and on Work Stoppage, the difficulties of labor organizing in Colombia.

Where did the idea of a Human Resources department originate and why does it seem to always favor the employer? We find out from the Million Dollar Organizer podcast.  

We wrap up this week’s show with a fascinating interview from the 3rd & Fairfax podcast, as Weakest Link head writer Ann Slichter and writer Scott Saltzburg talk about what it takes to put together a primetime network game show.

Highlights from labor radio and podcast shows around the country, part of the national Labor Radio Podcast Network of shows focusing on working people’s issues and concerns.
