Payday Report's Mike Elk and Green & Red launch their Labor Update! (G&R 295)

Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals

In this pilot episode, Mike Elk, founder and senior labor reporter on Payday Report, and Bob Buzzanco of Green & Red Podcast present their soon-to-be-regular podcast on Labor in the U.S. We'll dive into the general state of labor and unions in the U.S., organizing drives, strikes, and other developments relevant to working people as they emerge. In this first show Mike discussed the recent tribute to the legendary folk singer Anne Feeney, like Mike another Yinzer, and then we discussed the successful end of the UAW organizing drive in Chattanooga and the move toward negotiations now; the role of labor in protesting the campus beatdowns by cops (California grad students are UAW members); and the upcoming vote at a Mercedes plant in Alabama. We'll be publishing these on a regular basis so please subscribe and share. ------------------------------------------------ Outro music: "We Just Come to Work Here, We Don't Come to Die" by Anne Feeney Follow Payday Report at https://paydayreport.com/ and Mike Elk on Twitter at @PaydayReport and @MikeElk and on Facebook and IG.
