Unify: A Young Worker's Podcast

This week I am happy to introduce you to Bradley Parker from Hamilton, Ontario. This will be another two part-er because there was just too much to fit into one episode. We discuss living in Hamilton, the Parker union family and surviving the JAC.  Member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network

In this episode I meet Cheryl Peron at a park and we sit on a couple of blankets and record the pod. Cheryl works at IBEW's 1st District where she has been a very impactful person in a lot of young worker's lives. Before getting hired by the International Office, Cheryl worked for NAV Canada, the company that owns and operates Canada's civil air navigation service. Member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network
