This week on the Labor Radio/Podcast Weekly, we spotlight powerful stories from across the movement:

LabourStart updates us on imprisoned Hong Kong union leader Lee Cheuk-yan, whose January trial underscores the escalating repression of independent unionism under the National Security Law.
Union or Bust digs deep into the spread of high-tech surveillance—from license plate readers to smart streetlights—featuring computer scientist and organizer Lily Irani on the real-world dangers of “smart policing.”
• On Union Strong, New York Assemblymember Harry Bronson traces how growing up in poverty and experiencing workplace discrimination shaped his fight for workers’ rights.
• From Labor Jawn, a rich conversation with historian Francis Ryan about Philadelphia’s lost industrial era and the working-class neighborhoods that built the city.
Reinventing Solidarity brings us roundtable on 100 years of Black labor activism.

We wrap with a lightning-fast Shows You Should Know speed round, featuring James Cameron on AI and acting on The SAG-AFTRA Podcast; David Rovics and labor music on The Labor Heritage Power Hour; on The Heartland Labor Forum, Randi Weingarten on why fascists fear teachers; plus holiday episodes from Economics for the People and Pipe Up; and, from OnWriting, late-night writers on comedy and free speech.

As always, stay tuned, stay active, and stay connected to the Labor Radio/Podcast Network—where the people speak.
