On today’s show: celebrating Pride Month! Why are unions essential to LGBTQ liberation? Why is union organizing that advocates for all workers essential to uplifting queer workers? And why is queer advocacy so commonsense to many of today’s unionized workers? Political scientist Joanna Wuest explores these questions and more in a conversation with New Labor Forum editor-at-large Micah Uetricht on the Reinventing Solidarity podcast.Then, from a special Pride Month blogcast on Power at Work, Burnes Center for Social Change Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by Jerame Davis, President of Pride At Work, Evette Avery, Southeast Regional Director of Teamsters' LGBTQ+ Caucus, and Jared Reece, Co-President of SEIU's Lavender Caucus, to discuss the state of the world for LGBTQ+ workers. On Slacker Radio, from Melbourne, Australia, Tilde and Jordan talk with Harry from Melbourne's Rental and Housing union about the eviction of one of their members, who’s aboriginal, queer, and  neurodiverse.In our final segment, AFT President Randi Weingarten and Brian Bond, the executive director of PFLAG, celebrate Pride on the Union Talk podcast, encouraging everyone to build community in solidarity as a way to push back against bigoted legislation that targets LGBTQIA+ kids and teachers.
