Labor Radio-Podcast Weekly

Three from the UK

Hundreds of thousands of nurses, teachers, and transit workers have taken to the streets in the UK for living wages and against privatization of public services; we’ll hear a report from WorkWeek Radio.


Then, the secret art of negotiation -- why is it an art and not a science? -- on the latest UnionDays, a UK-based podcast that’s returning from hiatus. 

From the Reinventing Solidarity podcast, despite Walmart’s decade-long effort at reforms, the average full-time worker there earns just under $32,000 a year. Author Rick Wartzman explores what this suggests about the systemic failures of capitalism in the 21st century.

On Writing podcast host Greg Iwinski talks to screenwriter Tony Gilroy who’s currently the showrunner and executive producer of the Star Wars series ANDOR. Gilroy talks about how his music career influenced his work as a screenwriter, why empathy is the key to imagination, and the similarities between being a showrunner and a dairy farmer.

We wrap up this week’s show with a poem by Kathryn Poulsen Wood from The Radical Songbook podcast, and, from Labor History in 2:00, the day known in Great Britain as the Battle of Saltley Gate.
