On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: This week’s episode takes us from South Africa to California, Wisconsin to the Pilbara — with a few sharp words about Trump along the way.

  • Work Stoppage: The fight against illegal deportations and labor’s role in defending our communities from unjust immigration policies.
  • Power at Work: How recent administrative policies are hitting hospitality workers in California — and how unions are pushing back.
  • Buwa Basebetsi Updates: In South Africa, workers at East Rand’s M&N Waste stand up against poor treatment and demand better conditions.
  • We Rise Fighting: UAW Local 291 is on strike in Oshkosh, Wisconsin — we bring you voices from the picket line.
  • Classes of Mail: Ever wonder how scanners keep the postal system running? Alan breaks it down in a surprisingly fascinating look behind the scenes.
  • Stick Together: Author Alexis Vassiley discusses Striking Ore, his powerful new book on the rise and fall of union power in Australia’s Pilbara region.

    • 🎧 Plus: In Shows You Should Know, Harold Phillips rounds up sharp takes on Trump, union organizing at REI, and how workers are challenging corporate and political power — from Missoula to Baton Rouge.
