This week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: Labor unions are leading the fight to protect workers from the impacts of artificial intelligence—from film and television to privacy and job security. On Union Strong, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand calls out what she describes as a “big, beautiful betrayal” of working people hidden in the latest federal budget bill—and explains why unions must stay vigilant as AI reshapes entire industries.
Then on Pipe Up, plumbers and pipefitters discuss the wave of major federal construction projects abruptly canceled or put on hold, costing union jobs across Maryland and Washington, D.C.
In British Columbia, Apple Box Talks features Mikelle Sasakamoose, who shares how she’s working to indigenize colonial spaces as the first Director of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation for the City of Burnaby.
And on The Docker Podcast, ILWU longshore workers mark the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Ballantyne Pier—a defining moment of solidarity and resistance on Vancouver’s waterfront.
Plus, from South Africa’s Buwa Basebetsi podcast, the remarkable story of an American activist who went underground after a 1970s bank heist and resurfaced decades later as a labor educator.
