Welcome back to the Worker Power Hour — a show dedicated to workers and the labor movement, where we break down the issues that matter most to working people and how we build real power on the job and in our communities.

In today's episode, we're joined by Lorena Gonzalez, President of the California Labor Federation, for a timely and important conversation about the state of labor in California.

We talk about the latest legislative wins for workers , what's been passed, what it means for union members, and how these victories are improving conditions on the ground. We also get into the race for Governor, what's at stake for working families, and how labor can shape the future of leadership in our state.

But this episode goes deeper. We discuss the urgent need for innovation in the labor movement — why adapting our strategies, embracing new tools, and thinking creatively is critical as corporate interests continue to evolve.

At Teamsters Local 1932, we are bringing the labor movement to the mic!
