    On this week's Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: What makes a union meeting worth showing up to? On the Labor Notes Podcast, organizers dive into how to make meetings matter—and why members sometimes stay away for good reason. On Power at Work, the newly formed Washington Post Tech Guild explains how and why tech workers—long considered outside the traditional bounds of labor organizing—built a winning union campaign at one of the nation's most influential newsrooms. On Economics for the People, Chris Sturr and Mike Osh examine how short staffing—once seen as a crisis—is now a corporate strategy, from hospitals to warehouses. The Engage Podcast explores how Delta is undermining state sick leave laws, even as it touts its "Delta family" values. And from The Dig and Green and Red: what does fashion say about power—and what does Star Wars' Andor say about rebellion? Turns out, quite a lot.

    On this week's edition of the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: From Tucson to Melbourne to Vancouver, workers are rising up—and their stories are being told. We start with Words and Work, where Bookmans employees in Arizona walk off the job, demanding movement at the bargaining table. “If they're not going to make a motion,” one worker says, “we're going to make a motion.” On Working People, student hunger strikers at the University of Oregon connect their campus protest to the starvation crisis in Gaza, calling it not only physical destruction—but cultural erasure. Down under, Stick Together brings us to a pastry factory in Melbourne, where bakery workers making muffins, donuts, and Australia's famous Woolworths mud cakes go on strike for fair pay—and win a seat at the table through collective action. From Roswell Hub, we explore what it means when your workplace relocates—sometimes a blessing, sometimes a life-altering burden—and what unions can do to protect workers when buildings close or operations shift. And on On the Line, we travel back to WWII-era Vancouver, where women known as “conductor-ettes” defied gender roles—and unruly passengers—to keep the streetcars running while the men were at war.
