This week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly brings urgent reporting and analysis from across the Labor Radio Podcast Network, with a focus on resistance, organizing, and solidarity in a moment of escalating political and workplace conflict. We begin with Working People, where organizers and union members in Minnesota describe the Trump administration’s largest ICE operation to date and the growing call for a statewide day of no work, no school, and no shopping. On We Rise Fighting, frontline reports on Minneapolis resistance to ICE. Green & Red marks MLK Day weekend with a deep dive into Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s radical legacy—his opposition to the Vietnam War, the Poor People’s Campaign, his socialist politics, and how those ideas continue to shape resistance to state violence today. For organizers looking to sharpen their skills, Unite & Win returns to the fundamentals. Guests Dawn Tefft and Bob Lawson walk through the basics of building power, organizing coworkers, and keeping campaigns rooted in member leadership. From Canada, On The Line: Stories of BC Workers looks back at the life of Syd Thompson, a towering figure in British Columbia’s labor movement. We close with tips on more Shows You Should Know, featuring The Heartland Labor Forum, The Union Labor Advisory Network Podcast, Pipe Up and The Labor Notes Podcast.BONUS TRACKS: Labor History in 2: If Poison Doesn’t Work, Try Briggs!
