Im union member of UPSEU
I like that they inform us in what’s going on but wish they would put links in the notes. Instead of a guest just saying a wedsite to go to. I got to stop working to get a pencil / rewind and so on . Make it easy put a link in the notes . I go home touch the link I can sign the Petition or find out who I should be voting for. Use the technology make it easy. Link -notes - keep fighting
It is important that labor has a voice in public affairs. New York has been a leader in organized labor, which is the most important counterbalance to corporate power and to the power of the 1%.
Great start. Thanks
Great content for Union members or anyone interested in supporting workers rights!

Listeners are drawn to practical, in-the-weeds discussions of labor politics, endorsements, mobilization, and workplace policy. Episodes frequently cover how unions organize, how endorsements are determined, and how member outreach translates into action, with hands-on insights from field campaigns, contract negotiations, and policy reforms affecting workers. A notable strength is bringing in high-profile labor and policy figures to demystify processes and offer concrete steps for members and allies to engage. The show often frames worker advocacy within broader political and economic contexts, making it useful for union members, organizers, policymakers, and brands seeking authentic labor-focused content.
