Listen Later

Originally broadcast on February 11, 2021; rebroadcast on June 17, 2021

Hosted by Chris Garlock and Ed Smith

This week's show:

The AFL-CIO’s Cathy Feingold and Brian Finnegan report live from "The Sound of Democracy: A Global Noise Barrage for Myanmar" action at the Embassy of Myanmar in Washington, DC.

Jamie McCallum on his new book “Worked Over: How Round-the-Clock Work Is Killing the American Dream.” He argues that labor’s next big battle may be over not wages but time.

PLUS Labor news headlines and “Ampun Bang Jago” (Ease up, Mr. Hotshot), a popular Indonesian protest song that popped up in a viral video after the military coup in Myanmar last week. “Ease up, Mr. Hotshot” is a phrase that’s used to respond to arrogant or self-righteous authority figures. Like bosses, say. Or the military.

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Kahlia Chapman.
