On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: from the inaugural episode of The Labor Notes Podcast, which just launched yesterday: When Nippon sought to acquire U.S. Steel in a $15 billion acquisition last year, the companies went to great lengths to convince U.S. Steel workers that the deal would benefit them too (and not just line executives’ pockets). Hear why the workers didn’t buy it. Then, from the 3rd & Fairfax podcast, a report on the SAG-AFTRA video game strike. Justice for Phil, on the Speaking of Work podcast On The Dig podcast, TrueAnon hosts Brace Belden and Liz Franczak on our freakish and reactionary tech oligarchy. They say Musk and friends built a technological infrastructure that has warped everyone’s minds, including their own. Now they’re seizing the state. The Workers Beat wonders, Is this the end of capitalism? And the UFCW 3000 Union Podcast is back, with a report on working with rank and file members in contract bargaining. In our final segment, On The Line: Stories of BC Workers remembers union solidarity against apartheid in South Africa.
