On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: 📻 First, on Labor Radio from KBOO FM in Portland, Oregon, we hear from members of the Oregon Education Association Board of Directors on the power of unions and how they’re preparing for the challenges ahead—including the return of Trump and the threat to workers’ rights. ⚖️ Then on America’s Workforce Radio, longtime labor lawyer Lynn Rhinehart and NLRB Board Member Lauren McFerren break down the growing threats to labor law and employee protections—and what we can do to defend them. 🗳️ Next up on Union Strong, Peter de Jesus, president of the Western New York Area Labor Federation, talks about why lobbying—yes, lobbying—is critical to advancing the labor movement. 🏗️ On The Concrete Gang, we get a reportback on a near miss involving a tower crane and follow-up actions to protect health and safety on the job site. Real talk, real risks—and why vigilance matters. ⚓ And finally, on America Works, we meet Natalie Ameral, a Port Sampler from New Bedford, Massachusetts, whose work connects her to the ocean, the community, and the rhythms of the working day.Plus, Harold’s "Shows You Should Know!"
