In this episode of the United America Network’s labor-focused podcast, guest Randy Korgan, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 1932, joins the conversation to discuss the future of union labor and the growing power of working people across the Inland Empire and beyond. Korgan highlights how labor organizing is reshaping public sector and logistics industries, and why workers are increasingly demanding leaders who are willing to take real action—not just offer promises.

The discussion explores the collapse of trust in traditional political institutions, the rise of worker-led organizing, and the importance of collective bargaining as a foundation for economic fairness. Korgan emphasizes that unions succeed when members are actively engaged and when leadership prioritizes fighting corporate exploitation.

From warehouse workers to public employees, this episode reveals how solidarity, education, and organizing are driving real-world results—and why labor power is becoming central to political and economic change in America today.
