The Valley Labor Report

Author: Jacob Morrison and Adam Keller Language: English Episodes: 100
Tune in each week to The Valley Labor Report, a conversation rooted in Huntsville, Alabama, but reaching far beyond. Hosts Jacob Morrison and Adam Keller bring a grounded, weekly discussion centered on the realities of organized labor, worker advocacy, and the ongoing fight for civil and human rights. This isn't just theoretical; it's a direct line to the issues affecting people on the ground. You'll hear analysis and commentary that connects local Alabama stories to broader state and national trends, offering a clear-eyed look at the forces shaping workplaces and communities. While it originates as a live talk radio show on stations like WVNN, WHIV, and WZZA, the conversation finds its extended life as a widely available podcast, ensuring you can engage with these vital topics on your own schedule. Each episode digs into the news that matters to the labor movement and rights advocates, providing a platform for perspectives often sidelined in mainstream discourse. The tone is informed and straightforward, reflecting the hosts' deep engagement with their subject matter. For anyone interested in the intersection of economics, justice, and policy from a perspective that prioritizes the worker, this podcast serves as an essential weekly briefing.
