This week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: What happens when union leadership tries to shut down support for women, LGBTQ members, Black and Latino caucuses—all in the name of “compliance”? On the Labor Notes Podcast, the rank and file are pushing back inside the building trades, and they’re not backing down. Then: over in Boston, the Pipe Up podcast is thinking outside the pipe—literally. If electricians can represent blackjack dealers, why can’t plumbers organize chimney sweeps? We’ll also hear from Working to Live in Southwest Washington, where delegates reflect on solidarity and strategy at the Washington State Labor Council convention. Why “everybody should be union”? Let’s just say it starts with healthcare—and ends with dignity. From Cincinnati’s Boiling Point to labor YouTubers calling for collectivization over corporatization, this week’s shows aren’t afraid to tackle the deep questions: Who gets a voice in our unions? What kind of future are we organizing for? And how do we fight disinformation at the hyperlocal level? And speaking of solidarity: you don’t want to miss out on participating in the Unions Power America sweepstakes      ! It's your chance to win cash prizes—just for being union. But it’s about more than the money. It's about showing the country that union members make America work. Enter today at UnionsPowerAmerica.org and share what union power means to you.
