Solidarity Breakfast; Your Rights At Work; OnWriting; Heartland Labor Forum; My Labor Radio; LRPN Livestream; We Do The Work

On today’s show, we welcome a new member of the Network from Down Under, as Solidarity Breakfast, based in Melbourne, Australia, reports on workers at an ice cream shop fighting for their rights.
On this week’s Your Rights At Work radio show, labor journalist Sarah Jaffe told us why Work Won’t Love You Back.
Then, the OnWriting podcast talks with award-winning screenwriter Lena Waithe, creator and writer on the BET comedy series TWENTIES.
We’ve got a mini-theme on plant closings as the Heartland Labor Forum features Mike Stout on his new book The Homestead Steel Mill: The Final 10 Years and on My Labor Radio we hear about an auto supply plant that’s closing down later this year in Auburn Indiana.
On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Network Livestream, the topic was what a progressive, pro-labor migration policy might look like.
Our final segment today is a special presentation of the final edition of We Do The Work, which is ending an amazing 8-year run on KSVR-FM in Washington state’s Skagit Valley. They go out with a lovely interview with Anne Feeney, one of the finest labor singers in the country, and several of her favorite songs. We’re playing the entire program in tribute to a show that’s been such a great resource for that community’s workers. They really did the work, on We Do The Work!
