This week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly, we bring you voices from across the labor movement grappling with state violence, organizing under pressure, and the fight to protect workers' power—on the streets, in the workplace, and in the digital economy.

Labor Radio/Podcast Weekly (1/9): It's the first week back in the New Year—and it feels like five days crammed into three. Chris, Harold, and Patrick return with a packed roundup: geopolitics, strike action, tax-policy sleight of hand, a brand-new show on worker-focused media, year-end reflections, and a fresh new intro.

On Labor Radio from WORT in Madison, it's a packed labor news roundup—from state worker rallies and dairy workers authorizing a strike to Starbucks organizing wins and fights over school voucher transparency.
