Podcasts about blue collar

Tara and Lee break down the hidden forces driving America's recent blue-collar wage surge—revealing how Trump's immigration enforcement and economic reforms are restoring fairness in the labor market. They highlight how illegal immigration was long used by elites to suppress wages, avoid taxes, and prop up Wall Street profits—all at the expense of American workers. With nearly a million illegals self-deporting and the market readjusting, real wages are rising for the first time in decades. Plus, they expose the irony of China-backed protests on U.S. soil and the growing alignment between the Chinese Communist Party and American elites. A must-hear episode on economic justice, national sovereignty, and the long-overdue reckoning with globalist policy failures.

Why are so few young people pursuing careers in the skilled trades? For Aaron Witt, the founder of BuildWitt, the problem is a lack of visibility. For too many young people coming out of high school, the trades just don't end up on their radar. And he knows that firsthand, because he was one of those kids. As a teenager, Aaron got a summer job working on a construction project in his hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona, and despite the sweltering heat, he fell in love with the industry. He's since obtained an engineering degree, and built a media empire where he demystifies the world of construction, and highlights the many opportunities that exist for young people in the skilled trades. Aaron takes us through his incredible story, while making the case for the value of marketing as a recruitment tool, and a way for industries to reclaim the narrative from their harshest critics.

Jeff Schuhrke on his book Blue Collar Empire: The Untold Story of US Labor's Global Anticommunist Crusade. During the Cold War, organized labor's top leadership acted as an agent of the US national security state abroad: undermining left-wing unions, fomenting right-wing coups, and promoting the US-led capitalist order. At home, those same forces destroyed left-wing unions and organizers. That history goes a long way in explaining the weakened, conservative, and ineffectual workers' movement we still confront today.
