Labor Heritage Power Hour

“Baltimore doesn’t happen without Charleston”


Listen Later

Broadcast on August 17, 2023

Hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant

Longtime union organizer Bob Muehlenkamp explains how a failed strike in Charleston helped fuel a successful organizing drive by Baltimore-area hospital and nursing home workers in 1969.

Radical Songbook host Michael Funke will co-host an hour of music on WPFW’s upcoming annual Labor Day show (September 4, 8a-2p); we preview that segment today.
Plus an excerpt of The Roads Must Roll, an episode on the 1956 radio show X Minus One; check out the complete episode Sunday, August 20 on WAMU’s The Big Broadcast.

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
