July 05, 2024

President Joe Biden visits Madison and is met by supporters and protesters, a Dane County judge says Act 10 looks unconstitutional, migrant agricultural workers get some visa protections, the 'Chevron rule' and Trump decisions at the US Supreme Court and what it could mean for workers, a lawsuit says Milwaukee Tool uses work gloves made by slaves, and some Teamster hopeful drivers in Skokie have an unfair labor practice strike as for some reason Amazon keeps ending the contracts of "partner" companies that might unionize. The show ends with more recorded tributes to Labor Radio co-founder and fighter for labor Frank Emspak, who died on June 14.
