Labor Week
Working people around the world are fed up, they’re standing up, and they’re out in the streets. They’re coming together for better wages, working conditions, and a seat at a table... And they’re winning! Each day Harold Phillips pulls together the latest Labor news for members of the Labor Radio Podcast Network, and every week he shares the top headlines with you.
