The Tractor Princess and The Cake Lady


Listen Later

April Lott, Vice President of the South Carolina AFL-CIO and President of AFGE Local 3627, joins the America’s Work Force Union podcast to talk about the uphill battle she faces, not just from the anti-labor rhetoric but also as a black female in a union in South Carolina, the state with the lowest labor density.

In the latest episode of Solidarity Works: A Podcast From The United Steelworkers, Vice President of Human Affairs Kevin Mapp and Pride at Work Co-President Brittani Murray talk about uniting workers across race, class, and gender to build a labor coalition that lasts.


Then, on the Green and Red podcast, Scott talks with Truthout’s Candice Bernd about her latest article “Armed Community Groups Are Defending Texas Drag Queens From Christian Fascists.”

Valerie Watson Johnson is better known as The Cake Lady; we hear more from the Lunch with Labor show.

In the latest episode of Re:Work, Antoinette Yvonne DeOcampo-Lechtenberg paints a picture of growing up in a rural farming community in the 1960s and 1970s, as the daughter of a Filipino immigrant from the Manong generation. “The Tractor Princess” draws on excerpts from an oral history interview that’s a part of a community archive and research initiative called Watsonville is in the Heart, which highlights the stories of Filipino families from the greater Pajaro Valley region in California.
