On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: Hands off our public services, our public workers, and our public spaces. The Workers' Mic reports that across the country, protests are rising up against the Trump administration's attacks on federal workers and the services so many of us rely on. Then The Valley Labor Report talks with Jeff, an organizer from 50/51, the group behind Saturday’s Hands Off protest down in Huntsville, Alabama — where folks came out to stand with public workers and defend their communities. And over on Working People, Max gets a firsthand account from National Park Service employee James Jones about what it’s like inside the federal workforce right now — with Trump’s attacks not just targeting agencies, but the people who depend on them. Plus — can a mindworm influence the state budget? We’ll find out on the Working to Live In Southwest Washington podcast. And what can we actually do about cyberbullying? School Me has some thoughts.Then on Boiling Point, we’ll hear from Thad Breckenridge and Kay Bishop about the issues affecting SEIU District 1199 members and what workers are doing to push back. Finally, we’ll head to South Africa and the Know Your Rights podcast, where Connie and Irene unpack the socioeconomic rights of asylum seekers and refugees — and how the fight for justice crosses every border. Plus Harold’s rundown of Shows You Should Know.
