Will Labor Lead in the Formation of an Anti-Fascist Front?

Author: Richard Hill, WPKN April 8, 2025 Duration: 33:06

Hosted by Richard Hill


Tune in to The Monthly Labor Report for a grounded and historically-informed look at the forces shaping work and wages today. Host Richard Hill of WPKN is joined regularly by economist Michael Zweig, and together they move beyond the headlines to unpack what current employment numbers, policy shifts, and corporate strategies really mean for everyday people. Their conversations are rooted in a deep understanding of the long fight for workers' rights, often connecting today's organizing drives and legislative battles to past struggles for union representation and economic justice. This isn't just analysis for its own sake; it's a deliberate effort to provide context and clarity to a topic that directly impacts millions. Each episode of this podcast feels like a necessary briefing, blending news, commentary, and political insight to examine who holds power in the workplace and how that balance is-or could be-challenged. You'll hear a perspective that treats labor not as a dry economic indicator, but as the ongoing story of people seeking dignity and a fair share.
