This week on Mike Drop Monday, Mike takes a deep dive into the Labor Notes Conference and the lessons, conversations, and organizing strategies that emerged from one of the labor movement's most important gatherings.

Mike is joined by Jacob Morrison from The Valley Labor Report to discuss highlights from the conference, key takeaways for workers and unions, and the state of the labor movement today. Sarah also joins the show to share her firsthand experience attending Labor Notes and the workshops, discussions, and connections that made an impact.

Later in the episode, Renee and Sarah put Mike in the hot seat with questions about current events, labor news, and campaign updates, including information about Mike's nationwide campaign raffle. Tickets are available now, and the drawing will be held on June 26. Get your tickets here: https://caref4prez.org/the-shop/nationwide-raffle-2026-tickets/

The episode wraps up with a featured interview between Mike and C. Moline, a letter carrier from Seattle, Washington, who facilitated a Labor Notes workshop on workplace surveillance. They discuss the growing use of surveillance technologies on the job, how workers can recognize and challenge these practices, and practical strategies for protecting workplace rights.
