So we've been, uh, doing labor radio for a, a long time and sort of realized there were other people who were doing labor radio and then podcasts.

Watching a bunch of other institutions across society, everybody from Jeff, uh, Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg to Target and you know, every, basically every corporation you could name immediately rushed to bend the knee we always add a couple new ones.

This year we have the new nightmares display from the softball team.

Every day we're technically working ourselves out of a job.

Every piece of pipe that our plumbers put in could be one day closer to the unemployment line.

I tried to like write it out on a piece of paper or like, you know, do a quick little video and I'm like, you know what?

Why don't I just make a TikTok Well, I don't know about you guys, but I really need this holiday day break.

It feels like the year is just steaming down the track, heading for the tunnel that's painted into the cliff wall, does that make you like Roadrunner?

I think I was more Wiley Coyote in that scenario, but yeah.

All right, folks with Garlock here.

That's Harold Phillips and Patrick Dixon.

Hey, Patrick.

Hey guys, how you doing?

We're good.

And you all are listening to the Labor Radio podcast weekly.

Once again, your sampler of the best, the very best new episodes across the network.

Harold, do we have a theme this week?

You know, we do.

Actually.

This week is all about where labor power is showing up right now from resistance, politics, and shop floor mental health to organizing wins.

Worker culture and even how social media is reshaping the trades.

You know, I am always all about the social media.

That's right.

And it's a reminder that labor power isn't just showing up in one place Right now.

It's showing up everywhere.

Everywhere.

Exactly, guys.

All right, let's get into it.

First up on the workers' mic in a bit of same, shameless, shameless, I say self-promotion.

Um, the Workers' Mic is a live weekly radio show out of Chicago.

Features union leaders, labor partners in workers, looking at news and topics through the labor lens, and the guys are joined by, oh.

Harold Phillips and me.

What?

You don't think that they've heard enough of our voices already?

What are we like?

One or two minutes in the show they wanna hear somebody else.

Chris, come on.

And we were wearing our Union made Labor Radio podcast network shirts.

Don't worry, Patrick, we're gonna take this one.

Two colors, all sizes available@laborradionetwork.org.

Oh, you still had to get a little bit in there, didn't you?

And we talked about why independent labor media matters.

Yes, it does.

And how the network helps connect struggles across industries and regions Welcome back everybody to the Workers' Mic, right here on seven 20 WGN.

I'm Ed Maher here with Ken Edwards and Phil Davidson, and we're joined with a couple of guests.

We've got Harold Phillips and Chris Garlock from the Labor Radio Podcast Network.

Welcome guys.

Welcome to the show.

Hey, thanks so much guys, and, uh, good morning Chicago.

Yeah.

And you guys are great to be here.

Great to be here.

So guys, first of all.

Quick shout out to, to what you guys do for a living.

Uh, and that is, you know, from my perspective anyway, you aggregate all of the, uh, labor shows, by the way, is it just in the United States or, or is it international?

Uh, it's actually international.

We've got a lot of shows in the network that are from overseas England, um, Canada, obviously.

Uh, there, there's one Australia, South Africa.

I'm not, yeah.

Yeah.

Australia would be a big one.

I'm surprised.

Canada still lets us, uh, into this airspace.

You know, begrudging, we slipping under the radar.

They haven't figured out how to block the radio signals yet, So explain to me the, the genesis and to our listeners the genesis of, of how this came about and, and more importantly, why.

Uh.

So we've been, uh, doing labor radio for a, a long time and sort of realized there were other people who were doing labor radio and then podcasts.

And so we just basically thought let's talk to other people who were doing the same thing.

And it turned out that there are a lot more.

And then, uh, Harold is the one who, who has to scour, he handles our social media scour for all the different things, and I think we're over 200 now, right?

Harold?

Wow.

Yeah, actually pretty much two 50.

Wow.

Pretty close.

Whoa.

It's two holy moly.

And that's, uh, that's, that's like radio shows and or podcasts.

Just exactly.

You know, a lot of radio shows like yours mm-hmm.

The workers' mic mm-hmm.

Will broadcast live and then they'll put recordings up on their websites as podcasts.

Yeah.

Right.

So it's kind of TiVo for radio in a way, for sure.

You can tune in at 7:00 AM but if you miss the show, you can go back and you can listen to what people said.

So, yeah, like you said, every day we're sending stuff out through our social media with links to labor radio shows and podcasts, new episodes.

We're letting people know about the new shows that have just popped up.

Bringing the producers together in weekly meetings so that we can help each other out and get out the voice of working people and labor.

Right?

I mean, we're all, we're all pushing in the same direction, really.

Right.

We should be.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And we should mention that one of the things we developed, Harold, I think what's been like three years now at the Labor Radio Podcast weekly, which was we realized that people don't always necessarily, with over 200 shows now, which one to listen to the workers mic, they listen to the workers mic.

Let's start there.

Definitely listen to the workers, Mike.

But what we do is in the weekly, uh, we, we just, uh, we'll excerpt.

Bunch of the shows, you know, 3, 4, 5, 6 minutes.

Uh, give him a taste.

You know, here's what work his mic sounds like.

Sure.

Uh, here, here's what a show on the West coast tastes like.

Here's what that teamster doing his podcast out of his, uh, cab sounds like.

Wow.

And that way when people hear that, then they can, and then we always say, you know.

Go to go to lib radio network.org and you can subscribe to the show itself.

And so it's really kind of a way to introduce people to, to be honest.

Just, I mean, the, the range of shows that we have guys is just phenomenal.

Oh, I've seen, I've seen the list.

I mean, it's, uh, it's absolutely shocking to me.

Look, it's one of those things where you, you don't know.

Until you know it, right?

And I didn't know it existed until I, I somehow came across your organization and joined your email list.

And, and it's heartening, I gotta say heartening, not disheartening, heartening to see all of these labor podcasts and people, you know, getting up on social media.

And, you know, the tiktoks and Instagrams and Facebooks and reels and this, I mean, it's, it took a long time, I think, for labor to finally get to this place right now.

Yeah.

And we're not even there yet.

Right.

But like, it's just hardening to see, you know, so many people out there and, and they're passionate about it.

Right.

But yeah, we, we appreciate you guys.

We've gotta take a break.

Yeah.

But thank you so much for being on the show.

Right back at you.

Here's another great conversation from the Dig, the podcast from Jacobin Magazine where Eric Blank, Leah Greenberg and W Shahid take on the liberal resistances sharp left turn, putting today's political moment in historical context and mapping the opportunities and risks ahead.

Eric Blanc, Leah Greenberg and Wale Shahid.

Welcome to the Dig.

Thanks, Dan.

For having a song, great to be here.

The Socialist and Populist Left has been trying to move this project, we could say since 2016 that we could date it back to Occupy as well.

But really coherently, since Bernie first ran, we made some significant headway that year and then again in 2020.

And there were tons of other victories along the way.

But obviously in politics the point is to win and then to govern and transform society.

And by that measure we were coming up really short and thinking back specifically to 2020, but really the entirety of the past decade.

A big part of what the Socialist left has been trying to do, I think, is to make the case to the liberal democratic base, the base of the Democratic Party, that the only way to address the root causes of, of Maga and of Trump is by confronting neoliberalism in the forever wars and by overthrowing the democratic establishment that was breaking through somewhat, but not enough to win.

And what seems really significant right now is that these politics are breaking through, it seems in a really powerful way, that we can see from the, from Zo Ron's coalition to the anti oligarchy tour, to the broad front in the streets confronting ice.

How did the, the liberal base, which had I think placed their faith in the Democratic establishment to protect them from Trump.

Become so radicalized over the last 11, 12 months by him being elected again, Leah, I don't think you can separate the reaction that the liberal base has had in this moment from the broader societal dynamics that we have been seeing unfold in Trump 1.0.

There was at least a, a pretty solid pretense by corporate actors, by a lot of different institutions across society that they were.

They were attempting to hold some set of things around the norms of liberal democracy, protect some set of vulnerable populations, et cetera, et cetera.

I think we can all be really clear that was not out of the goodness of their hearts, but it did create a pretty significant contrast.

Uh, and what we've seen this time around is just a total elite insti and institutional collapse in the face of Trumpism starting basically immediately after he was elected.

And so I think for folks who believed what democratic leadership were telling them that this was an oncoming fascism, that it was gonna be a direct personal threat to them and their communities and their neighbors.

To watch this combination of democratic leadership fecklessness going quiet to the extent that they were talking, having really internal circular arguments about blaming the groups instead of any kind of meaningful accounting about what had happened.

And then simultaneously watching a bunch of other institutions across society, everybody from Jeff, uh, Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg to Target and you know, every, basically every corporation you could name immediately rushed to bend the knee created a much more clear, uh, illustration that the project to consolidate MAGA political power and the project to consolidate corporate power were one in the same.

And I think that set the stage for a lot of what has unfolded since.

Yeah.

Uh, Walid, I think also, um, and this is a point that I think really.

Was really honed for me by, um, by a guest of this podcast, Leah Greenberg, who told me that some of the frontal attack by Donald Trump and his administration.

Um, is primarily on like many of the institutions that the liberal base belongs to.

Um, so if you look at, um, universities, law firms, um, federal government, media, uh, and, um, you know, employees of org like institutions affected by big tech consolidation, like there's a difference, a tangible difference between 2017.

And 2025 in terms of the kinds of upper middle class or middle class white collar workers that are probably, uh, ideologically or effectively liberal, um, but are really being squeezed by this administration being attacked by this administration, not just in terms of rhetoric, but in terms of policy.

And so, you know, JD Vance and Donald Trump and Elon Musk really hates the, this kind of liberal class.

You know, there are, um, they have fan fiction of replacing the liberal class with, um, robots and ai.

And I just think that like to, you know, emphasize Leah's point prior, there's a way in which that class is being squeezed and the party and the elected representatives who are supposed to represent that class, not really having, having the fight in them to, um, represent that in, in a big way and actually like being part of a general kind of capitulation to authoritarianism and fascism.

Well, Eric Blanc, Leah Greenberg, and Wali Shahid.

Thank you all very, very much.

Thanks, Dan.

Thanks so much.

Thank you.

Hey, this is Dave Alpa from Labor.

I'm proud to be part of the Labor Radio Podcast network with more than 200 Labor radio shows and podcasts from across the country and around the world.

The Labor Radio Podcast Network where working people speak.

Find us at Labor Radio Network all one word.org.

On a labor radio news by four and about working people in medicine, Wisconsin, and around the world.

It's a packed labor news roundup.

We got state worker rallies, we got dairy workers authorizing a strike.

Starbucks workers gaining legal ground and educators pushing for transparency on school voucher costs.

I don't know which of those things you actually chose, Patrick.

None of them.

All right.

What are we gonna hear?

We're gonna hear a segment on the local city Lights display organized by the IBEW.

It's holiday season, after all.

Love that.

No, me too, me too.

Nevermind all that other stuff I said.

welcome to Madison Labor Radio.

Labor Radio is dedicated to bringing news information.

And cultural events focused on working people and the labor movement through the Madison area and surrounding communities.

The 2025 Holiday Fantasy and Lights Show at Oland Park Marks the 37th year that members of the IBEW Local 1 59 have put up the holiday display for the community.

Labor Radio Co-founder Frank mpac, who passed away last year had a tradition of talking to young visitors at the Light show.

We continue that tradition in this next segment.

But look at, I see Santa Yay.

Lights Act.

Lights.

Lights.

Look at lights.

That was 4-year-old.

Ridley with his sister.

2-year-old Sylvie.

They're riding through the Fantasy and Light show with their grandpa Doug.

Grandpa used to work in these light show.

His grandpa was a member of IBEW, local 23 0 4 10 Train, IBEW, local 1 5 9, business Manager, Mike.

Killian talks about the fantasy and lights display.

It's at Oland Park.

You can drive around, there's no cost.

It's free to go in.

The lights come on at dusk, and there's a contribution for donations at the end, which all the donations go back into the event, or we donate 'em to a local charity.

How long does it take to create a light design and then make it actually into something that people could recognize?

It kind of varies a little bit to what we do.

I can say that our retirees and our apprentices set up the displays and do that, and our retirees will make 'em and they'll start putting stuff together and do the maintenance on the displays probably in April or May, and have 'em ready to go to put out at the park in the fall.

And it usually takes 'em about two weeks to set up and a much shorter time to tear it out.

It's our 37th year with putting on the displays.

We have over 60 of them, and we always add a couple new ones.

This year we have the new nightmares display from the softball team.

We have a cardinal ornament that we've had this new this year, and some big bulbs that our guys made for this year also.

There is music that people can listen to.

Can you tell us about that?

Sure, you bet.

So one of the things that we've done now is the, the soundtracks online now.

So this is year three for that.

So it's a little bit of a change for us as you drive around there.

You gotta use your phone to listen to it.

So you're gonna scan a QR code as you come in, and then you'll see the play button and then just click that and you'll be able to hear it as you go through.

It's really nice that the IBEW local 1 59 does this for the community.

Well, it's just something that we've done over the years.

We always like to give back to the community and it, it was just always a nice thing and it has, it's grown over the years.

We used to do it at Warner Park and it has grown to be so much over the 37 years that we have to have it at Oland Park now.

Just for the, the space and the traffic that, that the people go through to do it.

It's just something that we like to do to get back to the community.

Castle Ice cream, hot wind candy can, Hey, I see another Santa and he has a candy game.

We heard from Mike Killian at IBEW Local 1 5 9.

Special thanks to Ridley and Sylvie.

This is Janine Ramsey reporting for Labor Radio.

Hello, this is Eric Lee from Labor Start.

We're proud to be part of the Labor Radio podcast network with more than 200 Labor radio shows and podcasts from around the world.

The Labor Radio Podcast Network.

We're working people speak.

Find us@laborradionetwork.org.

So this week on the Heartland Labor Forum Radio that talks back to the boss coming to us from Kansas City.

The focus is on mental health and what unions can do to support members and their families, including model programs from plumbers local eight and firefighters local 42.

It's a very important topic and these locals are taking it head on.

This was a late ad to the show, but I just thought, I mean, it is a tough time of year for a lot of people, and so, mm-hmm.

This was an important topic I'm Tom gpp and I'm the president of CWA Local 63 60 here in Kansas City, and I will be co-hosting this show with my friend Judy Morgan.

She's the president emerita of a FT 6 91, and also a former state legislator.

The holiday season can be very stressful for many people.

They find themselves overwhelmed and it takes its toll.

It can lead to depression, which sometimes results in suicide.

The building trades and the first responders see this at a much higher rate than other fields of work.

Unions representing these groups are working hard to help members with programs to assist them with mental health obstacles.

On tonight's show, we visit with Matt Harris, the business manager of Plumbers and Gas Fitters Local eight.

And from the International Association of Firefighters Local 42, we have Eric Rose.

He's the Secretary treasurer, and we have AJ Pittman.

She directs the program called 42 Cares.

These two groups have outstanding programs that address the very important topic of tonight's show, mental health.

Everyone, thanks for coming on the show tonight.

Yes, welcome.

Uh, Matt, aj and Eric.

I just learned recently that those in the construction trades and the first responders.

Actually are, uh, have a higher rate than other industries.

And I was reading an article in which, uh, center Health suggested that stress and burnout were the most common struggles for employees in general and a driving force of the current US workplace mental health crisis.

So I'm just wondering what factors in your workplaces, are they the same or are they different causing the mental stress among your union members?

Uh, Matt, let's start with you first.

So stress and burnout are always issues.

Okay.

But I, I think couple things that are really driving forces into building trades.

Um, every day we're technically working ourselves out of a job.

Every piece of pipe that our plumbers put in could be one day closer to the unemployment line.

So that uncertainty of the work makes that a very stressful situation.

And sometimes layoffs happen and you don't know how long that layoff's gonna be.

It could be a week, it could be a month, or.

Could be six months.

So the uncertainty of where that paycheck's gonna come in.

And then we also have the opposite where what we call golden handcuffs.

What do you call it again?

Golden handcuffs.

Okay.

Golden handcuffs.

So we, we might have a member that's working six tens for a year and a half, and they've set their lifestyle up around all that over time and all that money coming in.

And then either work gets cut back to 40 hours a week, or maybe they get laid off.

The job comes to an end.

And now they've set their whole lifestyle up on this overinflated income, and so that becomes a real mental struggle for 'em.

So can you identify signs either as, as like the, the workers on in, in the field, can they identify signs or can supervisors identify signs that somebody is having problems and is anger?

How, how much does anger play into it?

Let's start with you first, Matt.

Um, so that's through our, our mental health training that we do.

That's one of the things that we talk about is recognizing the signs.

Um, anger can definitely be one of them.

We believe it's more of a, a change in a person.

I mean, let's face it, I I spend more time with my brothers and sisters at work than I do with my own family.

So, you know, if you're paying attention, if I, if I've got somebody that's normally pretty mild mannered and all of a sudden they're having anger control issues and they're lashing out, okay, there's something going on here.

We need to, to figure out what, what the issue is.

Or sometimes we'll see members that normally are pretty social.

Now they're going out to their truck and, and eating their lunch or, um, you know, things like that.

So behavior changes is really kind of what you need to look for.

Um, if you got a, if you got a guy that's normally Johnny on the spot and he's always there on time and, and he's, you know, he's working his 40 hours a week and doesn't have any problems with that, now all of a sudden he's shown up 10, 15, 20 minutes late.

Maybe he's missing a day, a week or a day every other week.

There's something going on here.

We need to address this and we need to figure out what that is.

So do you actually train your workers to re recognize that or is it more like the supervisors and when somebody does recognize it, what do they do?

Like if I saw, saw my coworker, you know, like you say, going out to eating lunch every day at his, in his truck.

What would I do if I thought there was a problem?

Just have a conversation with 'em.

Okay.

That, that's what you teach 'em to do.

Okay.

That's what, you know, we, we teach 'em that.

They're not there to be their therapist.

They're there to be mental health.

CPR.

Okay.

You know, you're there to keep 'em around one more day.

So just go have a conversation with them.

How's things going?

You doing okay?

Hey, I've noticed these behaviors, you know, that's uncommon for you.

Is something going on?

Can we talk about this?

So I would really like to thank you all.

Thank you for having us.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

No, Hey, this is Dan Golodner from Tales From the Ruther Library.

I'm proud to be part of the Labor Radio podcast network with more than 200 labor radio shows and podcasts from across the country and around the world.

The Labor Radio Podcast Network where working people speak.

Find us@laborradionetwork.org.

And from the Power Line Podcast, a podcast about life and work in the trades.

A tailgate style conversation with Austin Carr.

Better known on TikTok as America's favorite lineman getting into the trade apprenticeship life and how social media is reshaping work in the skilled trades.

Talk a little bit about your like Amer's favorite lineman.

Tell me how you got, you know, why you decided to choose that name, and then like why you decided to start a TikTok account.

Instagram account.

Start making videos.

So originally the name came from one of my apprentices.

Oh, yeah.

And, uh, it was pretty cool.

I started making videos basically for one or two of my friends.

Yeah.

They worked for a contractor.

They didn't get training.

It was all on the job training.

So whatever crew they were on, it depended on their journeymen.

How good were they?

How safe were they?

And they would constantly call me and say, Hey, we're, we're blowing the fuse.

We're doing this.

What's going on?

And I tried to like write it out on a piece of paper or like, you know, do a quick little video and I'm like, you know what?

Why don't I just make a TikTok or any social media and try to post it out there and see if people like it.

Yeah.

And immediately it kind of started growing little by little and now it's, it's to what it is today.

Just because I found out through messages, through comments, there's a lot of guys that don't have training or there's a lot of guys still in line school, still in high school, and they can come in with a little bit of an edge.

With their little bit of knowledge that they're seeing from everybody on TikTok posting this new stuff.

I mean, I think it's amazing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's been a good tool.

I, I had the same sort of conversation with Alex Wakeland, and Alex said the same thing.

He's like, I originally made, started making videos to help train my guys.

He's like, I just, I had a.

Problems showing these new guys that were showing up how to do, I think they were doing some, some transmission dead ending or something like that.

How he likes his dead ending done.

So he is like, ah, just let me make a video about it.

I'll post it online.

He was like, he would just sell everybody on the tailboard, just go watch my tiktoks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So they go watch tiktoks because these, he was, he was finding that he was getting like a bunch of these, like newer to the courier kind of guys that.

They were new to this kind of work, to this transmission work and new to dead ending, and they didn't really have any of these old, old hands to teach them how to do it.

Maybe one or two of them kicking around, but it wasn't enough to get everybody up to speed.

Right?

So he is like, let me make a video.

And then that snowballed into, well, I'll just make videos about the kinda hall of things I know, and maybe somebody will pay attention.

I.

I've been since, like, I was this big in the trade promoting making videos and putting them online.

I've been doing this, like I, I started making videos for the internet, um, as much as I could right back in like 2009, right?

Like early stages, YouTube, um, trying to get the companies I was working for to make videos and put 'em online to train people and teach people and bring awareness to the trade.

So, I don't know, I like to see where it's evolved to today.

And you know what?

It's so crazy that.

Nowadays, even the old timers are kind of coming up to speed with it because they can see what I'm doing in the bucket, hands on.

I've got my GoPro on.

I'm showing them, okay, I'm doing it this way because I've got my rubber gloved hand on.

Mm-hmm.

This is what needs to happen.

If you could show anybody on the ground how to do a job, they're in their leathers, they're standing on the ground.

Easy.

They get in the bucket and start struggling.

And then those little fine details are like, why am I struggling?

And sometimes as a teacher, it's hard to remember those little fine things without doing it as you go.

So I found it so much easier for me to explain just with my hands, I'm, I'm way better with my hands and with my mouth so I can speak as I'm going.

Yeah.

And it's just helped me a lot and it's helped our apprentices a lot.

Yeah.

So just talking your way through it.

Yes.

Yeah, exactly.

Anything else that you.

On your hearts.

I usually ask this question at the beginning, but, um, on your heart's talk boat, not really.

That's fine.

Um, I usually just talk about like how, like faith gets me through it and how using that same faith based system, like if you want it bad enough mm-hmm.

You're gonna work for it.

Basically.

I, I'm a very faithful person.

I'm a Christian and you know, they say Faith without works is dead.

That's not saying that you need to work to gain anything.

It's if you have enough faith in something, if you have enough faith in Jesus, you're gonna work for him just because you love him so much.

Same way it can translate into line work.

If you have enough want to, and determination and faith that you're gonna be a lineman, you're gonna do what it takes to become that lineman.

Mm-hmm.

It's, it's just a give and take relationship.

And you put enough work into it because you believe in it enough.

You're gonna get the reward at the end.

Amen, brother.

Well look, it's time for our shows.

You should know the speed round where we spotlight a few more voices across the network you should have on your radar On the wealthy iron worker, reflective take on identity reminds us that we're more than what we do for a living, and that work doesn't define our full worth.

Over on boiling point from our friends in Cincinnati, Ohio, Michelle talks with iron workers Local 40 fours, Dave Baker, about trade culture industry challenges, and why strong unions remain essential.

Radio Labor Canada actually talked about something I didn't know anything about.

They marked the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

I knew about that and highlighted the role of Canadian legal scholar John Humphrey in shaping the document that I did not know.

And you live like a stones throw from the border, so there you go.

Yeah, you'd think I'd pick that stuff up.

EL reflects on how immigration policies are reshaping childhood and how courage, resilience, and collective power push back The CWA Hour of Power is back and we're so glad to see them back.

They spotlight activists, Amani and Baha.

They take a look at housing instability as a labor control tactic.

They've got the union buster of the weak and the proverbial more.

It is a great show.

It's so great to have them back on the air.

Uh, but before we wrap this up, we wanna note the passing of Ken Nash, longtime producer and co-host of Building Bridges Radio in New York, a true voice for Labor Radio who will be deeply missed.

Ken Nash Presente.

Mm-hmm.
