  • A fantastic show

    Came here by suggestion of MDC, and even though I’m not anywhere near the South, I love the show. I genuinely appreciate the updates you give on the status of laborers and unions; I’ve truly learned a lot. In a time of great anxiety, y’all provide a needed source of hope and ideas for a better, more equitable future. Keep doing the good work informing and helping people realize collective action and the power labor can wield through unions! Solidarity and support from the left coast ✊

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OVERTIME: Letter Carriers Head to Mediation After Contract Expires - TVLR 5/23/26
Q: What is the main obstacle to transparency in the Letter Carriers negotiations?
The union president controls most of the information and there is limited involvement of the Executive Council or broader membership in the decision-making process, which fuels frustration and a sense of opacity.
Voting Rights Are Under Attack, Stand Up and Fight Back - TVLR 5/16/26
Q: What role could government funding and sectoral bargaining play in boosting union density and protecting workers?
The guest and host discuss ideas like government funding for union organizing, and the concept of sectoral bargaining or making collective bargaining the default in certain contracts, arguing these policies could dramatically raise union density and provide stronger worker protections.
Voting Rights Are Under Attack, Stand Up and Fight Back - TVLR 5/16/26
Q: Can you talk a little bit about Union Now and how government funding could help union organizing at scale?
Union Now is framed as a funding pipeline to directly support organizing drives and a de facto national strike fund, aiming to move private and donor money into high-impact union fights, thereby expanding organizing capacity and the ability to sustain strikes.
Alabama Redistricting and Durham Teachers - TVLR 05/09/26
Q: So can you talk to us about what exactly the bill that was passed during the special session does?
The two bills, HB1 and SB1, were pushed through during the special session to move back toward pre-existing maps under a court injunction, with the aim of preserving or resuming certain districts and altering Senate districts; the details include fast-tracked passage and a focus on how the maps affect Black voting power, with ongoing legal considerations and appeals.
OVERTIME: Fighting Union Busting In Michigan - TVLR 4/25/26
Q: What is LaborLab's role in helping workers facing union busting?
Bob Funk describes LaborLab as a resource that exposes union busting tactics, tracks consultants' disclosures, and provides information to workers so they can hold employers accountable and participate in campaigns with better information.
