On today’s show, we wrap up Pride Month with a special episode of Union Talk, the podcast from the American Federation of Teachers, as AFT President Randi Weingarten talks with Brian Bond, the executive director of PFLAG, about the history and power of the LGBTQIA+ community and the current fight against hateful policies impacting students, teachers and families.

Then, Episode 4 of the I AM STORY podcast looks at the impact the strike had on the lives of the people involved and the challenges workers have faced in the years since.

On the Union Dues podcast, which comes to us from the UK, we step into the fray of sexual harassment.  Guided by Andrea Oates, author of an excellent new publication on sexual harassment, the podcast drills down into questions of definitions, legal remedies, and effective union campaigns – on awareness, prevention, reporting, monitoring and, of course, representation.

Next stop Australia, as the Stick Together podcast goes outside Victoria Trades Hall in Melbourne, where a very large crowd gathered for the unveiling of a statue of workers' hero Zelda D’prano, a fighter for women's equality and a mighty union woman.

In our final segment, Dr. Josiah Rector tells the Tales from the Reuther Library podcast about how more than a century of unregulated industrial capitalism and racist practices in housing and employment in Detroit have created pollution and environmental disasters disproportionately affecting the poor, the working class, and particularly African Americans.
