On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: we’re talking about solidarity, storytelling, and the ways workers are fighting back against power.

Over on The Rick Smith Show, Painters Union President Jimmy Williams Jr. calls out the Trump administration for canceling union jobs while claiming to put “American workers first.”

This week on The Labor Show, we’re on the picket line in South Philly, where Scabby the Rat is making an appearance and union members explain what real solidarity looks like.

From Work Stoppage, farmworkers in New York face ICE raids that expose the ugly alliance between bosses and the state to silence immigrant workers.

In the latest Director’s Cut from the DGA, filmmaker Adele Lim reveals the craft and complexity behind her body-swap comedy Freakier Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Meanwhile, on The Labor Exchange from KGNU, Austin Sauerbrei talks about his new graphic novel Trouble at Coal Creek, which brings to life a forgotten East Tennessee miners’ uprising.

Plus, on Shows You Should Know, Labor Day was a big theme across the Network this past week; Harold gives us a roundup of how shows marked the holiday.
