Podcasts about international workers

International Worker's Memorial Day is held on the 28th April. A sobering event marking the passing of workers who died from work related injuries. First we hear from some of the people who gathered to honour the dead, followed by the Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen,  then from Lana Cormie, now part of a group with lived experience of loss working to change the system, and ending with some of the remembrance of those who never returned home from work.

In over 3,500 cities and towns across the United States, workers took to the streets on May 1st for a day of no work, no school, and no shopping on the fourth day this year of mass organized action. Following the January 23rd and 30th shutdowns that started in Minneapolis and spread coast to coast and the No Kings Day in March, May Day was the latest in what's becoming a building process of collective power and consciousness. Around the world, May Day or International Workers' Day, is a celebration of the power of workers and our movements. Many countries mark it as an official labor holiday.ICE raids continue to terrorize immigrant communities around the country. The fragile ceasefire with Iran is marked by regular threats to resume and intensify with a ground invasion. Trump on Friday signed another executive order trying to starve the Cuban people of resources by further restricting trade. Gas prices and costs of consumer goods continue to soar. And the Supreme Court has taken another step in rolling back hard-won civil rights in its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, attacking core provisions of the Voting Rights Act. It's becoming more clear to so many that only the power of the people will stop the attacks of the Trump regime and the system it represents.Support the show

Our Word of the Week is “May Day Strong.” This is in reference to the coalition of groups in 400 locations around the United States who organized opposition to the billionaires, to ICE, to fascism while celebrating that ordinary people had created the 8-hour workday, which struggle is the origin of International Workers' Day on May 1st. On today's show we hear from events around Missoula on May Day, with one special visit to North Carolina. First we will hear speakers and music at the May Day Rally at the University of Montana campus. Then we hear later in the day as a flying picket visits the office of US Senator Tim Sheehy, a Lowes store and an Enterprise Rent-a-Car facility; all to protest their support or complicity with the Immigration Control and Enforcement Agency better known as ICE. Then we hear from a few of the speakers at a celebration potluck and barbecue where discussions on group alignments, more singing, and an ICE agent pinata rounded out the day. Then we hear a short interview of the President of the North Carolina AFL-CIO on the amazing success of North Carolina teachers closing down the largest school districts on May Day and holding a giant march in the capital.

Elias Makos kicks the week off with Meeker Guerrier, Commentator at Noovo and RDS, and Paul Gott, Lead singer and guitarist for Montreal Punk Rock band the Ripcordz and a journalism professor at Concordia. The streets were filled with excitement and joy last night as the Montreal Canadiens beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in game 7 of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Eric Duhaime has reversed course on Bill 96 as he tries to attract disaffected CAQ voters. In a nutshell - Duhaime pointed the finger at Anglos, saying that despite his previous position, it did not translate into support. During an International Workers' Day demonstration that drew thousands of people to Montreal on Saturday, activists staged a mock guillotine execution of Labour Minister Jean Boulet. The activist collective "Robins des ruelles" were back at it again this weekend as they stole from various stores in Montreal and Quebec City.

This episode, marking International Workers' Day, honours the often-overlooked contributions of women's labour through a conversation with Dr. Prabha Kotiswaran. It traces the complex and often turbulent journey of women's work, from its historical invisibility to its partial and uneven recognition today. Through a feminist lens, the episode examines how law functions not merely as text on paper, but as a force that interacts with, and sometimes deepens, economic, social, and political inequalities, shaping the lived realities of women's labour. The discussion centres on Dr. Prabha Kotiswaran's project, Laws of Social Reproduction, grounded in the Global South context of India. It explores female reproductive labour in its many forms, from unpaid domestic work within households to labour performed outside marriage and for the market, including sex work, erotic dancing, surrogacy, egg donation, and paid domestic work. By locating these forms of labour along a market–marriage continuum, the project shows how law both renders much of this work invisible and regulates each sector differently through criminal, licensing, contract, family, and tort law, exposing deep inequalities in recognition, protection, and rights. The episode places special emphasis on care work, the often unrecognised backbone of the Indian economy. It examines everything from the unpaid domestic labour of homemakers to the essential contributions of Anganwadi and ASHA workers in education and healthcare, asking what it would truly mean to recognise and value this labour as foundational to development. At the same time, it looks to the past to understand how different forms of women's labour have been controlled, marginalised, or erased through criminalisation, restrictive policies, and systemic neglect. In doing so, it shows how these forms of labour continue to exist under constant scrutiny and threat, raising urgent questions about recognition, rights, and dignity.

In this episode: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just got the state's Republican-controlled Legislature to pass new Congressional district maps that were intentionally drawn to violate an anti-gerrymandering constitutional amendment that was approved by nearly two-thirds of Florida voters. It's a scheme meant not only to give Donald Trump and national Republicans an edge in the 2026 midterms — but also to give DeSantis-appointed courts an opening to eliminate those anti-gerrymandering amendments completely. But the governor failed to get lawmakers to go along with plans to regulate artificial intelligence and weaken school vaccine rules, as Florida's GOP leadership quickly settled back into a year-long cold war. Plus: DeSantis marks International Workers' Day by signing the single most anti-worker piece of legislation of the 2026 session.

What happens when a 24-year-old tech worker walks away from her desk job... and into a room where strangers ask her to wash them? On the International Workers' Day, we bring you "Bathing," a radio drama about the work nobody sees and the dignity everybody needs.

The first day of May is International Workers' Day, so let's examine the practice of importing workers from France and England to North America as a profitable business during early colonial times. To satisfy the continent’s need for labor, agreements between two parties about long-term work gained popularity. The length of servitude might be a specified number of years or until the laborer reached a certain age. Many people indentured themselves in order to gain passage to North America or to escape debt and poverty.

Today, May 1, is International Workers' Day! It commemorates the sentencing to death of seven anarchist workers in Chicago who were wrongly convicted for throwing a bomb at police who attacked a strike demonstration in May 1886. 80,000 workers in Chicago had walked out on May 1 demanding a maximum 8-hour working day, alongside over 200,000 other workers across the US. Employers and the government were determined to crush the movement, and four of the anarchists were executed, with the fifth cheating the hangman by killing himself. An eighth was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. The surviving three were later pardoned, and the fight for the 8-hour day continued. Before his execution, defendant August Spies told the court: "if you think that by hanging us you can stamp out the labour movement – the movement from which the downtrodden millions, the millions who toil and live in want and misery, the wage slaves, expect salvation – if this is your opinion, then hang us! Here you will tread upon a spark, but here, and there, and behind you, and in front of you, and everywhere, flames will blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You cannot put it out."Socialist and workers' organisations later chose May 1 to be celebrated as International Workers' Day, and today it is celebrated as a national holiday in many countries around the world, and an unofficial one in many others. Learn more about the history of May Day in this podcast episode featuring us make by Upstream, available for our supporters on Patreon.

Today is International Workers' Day, but for many Nigerians, rising costs of living have made salaries insufficient to meet basic needs. As a result, a growing number of workers now rely on side hustles to survive. On Nigeria Daily, we explore why this shift is happening, how workers are coping, and what it means for the future of work.

In honour of International Workers' Day on May 1st, we're listening to two songs about the plight of those who have to work on Christmas Day. First up is an epic song about an achingly mundane world. Specifically, Seattle in the 1990s: it's "Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas (Sometimes)" by Harvey Danger. Then we earn some overtime with Modern Modem's retail-centric "Working on Christmas". The ranking music in this episode is "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger.

The Capital District Area Labor Federation is holding a MAY DAY rally in West Capitol Park in Albany on May 1st at 5:30 PM.

In this episode, we speak with Sunik Kim — Korean American musician, writer, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Kim's music has been described as "a frenzied electronic orchestra that sits somewhere between free jazz, noise, and Korean shamanic music. Their writing, spanning subjects from Korean communism to Conlon Nancarrow, has appeared in The Wire, Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, Tone Glow, and elsewhere. We discuss in detail their new essay "Zones of Illusion", tracing the connections between illusion, cognition, class, and the conditions under which sound — and thought — might still escape capture. Today, International Workers' Day 2026, Sunik Kim releases seven CDs of new music, three essays, including "Zones of Illusion", and a book. More details at sunikkim.com. Thanks to Fielding Hope.

Soundman Jim and Mark discuss our Word of the Week: “May Day.” This is of course in reference to the International Workers' Day on May 1st. We will look at the anarchist roots of the May Day holiday in the fight in the US for the eight-hour workday. Then we look at the modern May Day events in the US sponsored by the coalition May Day Strong, including events in Missoula. Then we will look at the state of the US labor federation, the AFL-CIO. And at the latest attack by the Trump Administration on organized labor. We then move to the elections in Hungary and to the US/Israeli war on Iran. Then finally we will hear from Lucas Moody as he gives us his regular Missoula City Council Report. maydaystrong.org

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around the earth, the natural world and climate justice in action. This week, a call to ecological action that's about more than planting with 'plant whisperer', ecologist, Robin Wall Kimmerer. Make a tax deductible donation and become a member at LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description:  When was the last time you listened to the plants? Plant ecologist Robin Wall Kimmerer, a self-proclaimed “student of the plants,” has dedicated her life to helping people of all ages understand the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Her latest initiative “Plant Baby Plant” does exactly that, by mobilizing communities to restore plants while building collective power for the Earth. Kimmerer is a distinguished professor, MacArthur Fellow, mother and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Her 2013 book “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants” emerged as a surprise bestseller with almost three million copies sold across 20 languages. In this enlightening episode, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Laura Flanders explore how nature can inform our language, our economy, our movements and more. As you'll hear, our survival depends on it. Plus, a commentary from Laura on what it took to separate people from nature. Hint: it wasn't peaceful. “I think it is so important that we embrace ecological grief rather than look away . . . When we recognize that pain we feel for our relationships with the natural world is also the measure of our love for the living world. It's that love which is mirrored in the grief that makes you get back up and say, ‘Not on my watch.'” - Robin Wall Kimmerer Guest:  Robin Wall Kimmerer, Plant Ecologist, Writer, Professor; Founder, Plant Baby Plant; Author, Braiding Sweetgrass *Recommended book: Bookshop: “The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World” by Robin Wall Kimmerer: Get the book*  And to accompany the book: (*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

International Workers, David & Aleah Nishizaki share the stories of what God is up to in the deaf world. David and Aleah are concluding an almost 9 year season of ministry among the deaf and hard-of-hearing community in Washington D.C. advocating, empowering and raising up leaders in the deaf church to share the gospel locally and around the world. This next season of ministry puts them on a trajectory of continuing to glorify God with all of who they are as the move to Japan. God has been stirring a passion and a hope to share Jesus as they move to Tokyo and build relationships with both the deaf and hearing communities.

Consumer debt stands at $17.29 trillion and many Americans are drowning in debt, with the average household owning over $100 thousand. The climate crisis, threats to democracy, and global wars add more worry to our already stressful lives. In her new book out from House of Anansi Press, “The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart”, writer, filmmaker, organizer, and the 2023 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Massey Lecturer, Astra Taylor uses mythology. psychology and the history of capitalism to break down the different kinds of insecurities we face, and explore how our insecurities help capitalism flourish. Without it, the system would cease to function, she says. In her years of work as Co-Founder of the Debt Collective, which emerged from Occupy Wall Street, Taylor has used debt as a tool for bringing people together and organizing. She is the author of The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart, Democracy May Not Exist But We'll Miss It When It is Gone, and The People's Platform (winner of the American Book Award), and the director of What Is Democracy?, among other books and films. In this wide-ranging discussion, Astra Taylor and Laura Flanders discuss the history of capitalism, the rights of debtors, and what we can do to lessen insecurity and expand security both as individuals and as a society. All that, plus a commentary from Laura about language and disruption..“There is a debate here about motivation and what motivates us, and we are constantly being told that if people are too secure, that society's going to collapse and that we can't afford to invest in other folks. And I really want to challenge that idea.” - Astra Taylor“. . . When you start talking about [debt] with others, you realize you're actually in the same boat and you start coming together to demand change, to demand debt cancellation, to demand the provision of these public goods. Debt actually can become a source of power.” - Astra TaylorGuest:  Astra Taylor, Co-Founder of the Debt Collective & Author, The Age of Insecurity*(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Thursday to protest the Trump administration as part of May Day Strong, a series of volunteer-led nationwide demonstrations. As many as 1,000 protests were scheduled for May 1, a date historically known as May Day or International Workers' Day. In other news, Dallas police Chief Daniel Comeaux fired two civilian employees Thursday who were accused of separate offenses. Billy Flores and Evelyn Keith, both 911 call analysts, were fired for “engaging in adverse conduct.” Also, American Airlines will invest $4 billion into DFW International Airport's forthcoming Terminal F, doubling the size of the project and creating a “crown jewel” in the world's third busiest airport. And  there will be a game seven in the first round Stanley Cup playoff series between the Dallas Stars and the Colorado Avalanche. The Stars had a 4-3 advantage at the start of the third period but the Avalanche scored four  consecutive goals in the final 20 minutes to win game 6 7-4. The series returns to American Airlines Center for Game 7 tomorrow night.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tomorrow is May 1st but to workers and community organizers around the world it is better known as May Day, or International Workers' Day. May Day began in Chicago as a labor movement that succeeded in instituting the eight-hour workday. It later became a global symbol of workers' rights and ongoing activism. The movement for workers' rights today is inspired in spirit and action by this Chicago history, led by immigrants of that era. Chicago is still a city of immigrants, and as the Trump administration continues to target immigrants, Reset discusses the history of May Day and learns what the labor movement today is doing in the current effort to protect workers, families, and communities with guests Miles Kampf-Lassin, senior editor at In These Times Magazine and Jorge Mújica, strategic campaigns organizer, ARISE Chicago. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

It's Mayday! The word "Mayday" is an internationally recognized distress signal used in radio communications, primarily by mariners and aviators, to signal a life-threatening emergency. May Day is also known around the world as International Workers' Day, commemorating the fight for workers' rights and the eight-hour workday. Both uses are fitting for today, as around the country, protesters are taking to the streets to speak out against Dump and what his administration is doing to this country and the entire world.Today is also Thursday, so we'll check in with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny and the Blue America PAC. Today was an infusion day, so hopefully Howie will be up for talking with us today. Oh, and we have a new phone number to reach the show! It's 480-442-6584. Give it a spin and see if it works!

Synopsis: Learn the history behind May Day, or International Workers' Day. The holiday commemorates the 1886 Chicago workers' strike known as the Haymarket Affair, where laborers demanded an eight-hour workday. The protest turned deadly and several activists were martyred—marking the day as a symbol of the ongoing fight for workers' rights.Description (Rewind- Origin Date May 2016): Laura and Peter Linebaugh discuss the origins of May Day, also known as International Workers' Day, the subject of his book, "The Incomplete, True, Authentic, and Wonderful History of May Day." Linebaugh is professor emeritus at the University of Toledo, and the author of many books, including the Magna Carta Manifesto; Stop Thief, The Commons, Enclosures and Resistance. Laura also shares her F-Word commentary on the intersectional feminism of 19th Century Anarchist Lucy Parsons. "The changes can happen very quickly, very quickly. Thinking of James Connolly, and the Easter Rebellion, very quickly, audacity, audacity . . . that's the rule of social change." Guest: Peter Linebaugh, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toledo, AuthorARE YOU AUDACIOUS?

Friends of the Rosary,On May 1st, we honor St. Joseph the Worker, while the secular world celebrates International Workers' Day.Pope Pius XII established the feast in 1955 to honor the dignity of labor and provide a model and protector for all workers.He countered socialist ideology and emphasized the Christian understanding of work as a means of providing for one's family and contributing to the greater good of society.As a carpenter, Joseph supported his family. By the daily labor in his shop, offered to God with patience and joy, St. Joseph provided for the necessities of his holy spouse and of the Incarnate Son of God, and thus became an example to all laborers.He is viewed as a model of dignity and value in human labor. He is the patron saint of workers.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Bishop T.D. Jakes, who founded The Potter's House and has led the Dallas megachurch for almost 30 years, announced at a Sunday morning service that he will be handing leadership of the church over to his daughter and son-in-law. Their appointment will occur later this year. In other news, two young men are dead and a third was injured in a shooting when a fight broke out at an Arlington gas station Saturday night. At about 10:06 p.m., Arlington police officers responded to a reported shooting at a gas station in the 5600 block of South Cooper Street; a throng of people gathered in downtown Dallas Sunday afternoon to rally against the Trump administration's policy changes that have affected labor, federal workers and immigrants' rights. According to organizers, the rally held at Civic Garden was part of May Day celebrations across the country, an event also known as International Workers' Day; and the NFL draft is an unpredictable force. A prime example came this weekend when a pair of area quarterbacks were selected far later than expected. Shedeur Sanders and Quinn Ewers went into the third day of the draft Saturday afternoon waiting to hear their names called. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
