  • I want to give 5 stars

    I am really enjoying this podcast and I want to give it five stars, but it seems as though it’s not being properly updated on the podcast platform. They have a ton of new episodes out that haven’t been added to apple podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SMART Union and Union EAP on Mental Health Support That Actually Works
Q: In your opinion, are the members engaged in this conversation?
Both Chris and Ben discuss that engagement is improving when training is practical, relatable, and when there is a trusted, single point of contact that understands the trades' realities, leading to greater willingness to seek help.
Bill McCamley on Wage Theft, Labor History and the Trades Crisis
Q: How do we move them along the pathway to the middle class through the trades?
By combining robust apprenticeship retention strategies, targeted gender and mentorship initiatives, and government support for pre-apprenticeships, while ensuring workers feel valued and fairly compensated.
Bill McCamley on Wage Theft, Labor History and the Trades Crisis
Q: So Bill, with what you just said, how can we get this population into the trades?
A multi-pronged approach: strengthen recruitment and organizing, support apprentices with better onboarding and mentorship, and push pre-apprenticeship programs to ease the transition while providing essential training and resources.
Fred Redmond on Family, 50 Years With the Steelworkers and Organizing
Q: So that's what happens in America. But Fred, what I want to do, and this is part of our segment we call Labor 132, this Labor Day will be the 132nd anniversary of the creation of Labor Day as a national holiday. Can you reflect on how this history informs the current labor movement?
The history shows a persistent push by workers to be treated with dignity and to share in the wealth they help create; it underlines the importance of organizing in every era, and it demonstrates that progress comes from steady collective action and staying power even when laws and employers push back.
Teamsters Launch Teamsters Digital Archivces With Unfiltered Union Oral Histories
Q: What was the motivation behind making these interviews unedited and publicly accessible?
The aim was to preserve memory accurately, prevent sanitization by editors, and provide a resource that captures diverse perspectives so future researchers can understand the complexity of union history.
