This Week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: From San Francisco to South Africa, this week’s show brings you powerful stories of labor resistance, solidarity, and organizing across borders.

  • WorkWeek Radio takes us to a San Francisco ICE rally demanding the release of detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil, then dives into the fight for Medicare and Medicaid with Dr. Ana Manilow ahead of a national day of action for single payer on May 31.
  • Work Stoppage rounds up headlines from workers organizing at PetSmart, Kroger, the Port of Casablanca and more, with a deep dive into the misclassification crisis in construction and the continuing contract battle at Starbucks.
  • On Union Talk, AFT President Randi Weingarten joins three professors and union leaders to expose Trump’s assault on higher ed and what it means for academic freedom and student rights.
  • BCTGM Voices highlights union-made sugar from beets, with two local union presidents in Idaho sharing what union contracts mean to their work and their families.
  • Tales from the Reuther Library features Dr. Justine Modica on the Seattle-based Worthy Wages childcare movement, where SEIU workers organized for equity in early childhood education.
  • And in Buwa Basebetsi, Moss Manganyi remembers the massive May Day strike of 1986 in apartheid-era South Africa—a turning point for worker power.

    • Plus, on Shows You Should Know, Harold Phillips brings us a special spotlight on building trades podcasts—featuring new voices from the United Association, Laborers’ International Union, and more—plus stories from firefighters and educators pushing back on anti-worker policies.
