Description

The Solidarity Center Podcast remembers Myrtle Witboii, general secretary of the South African Domestic Service and Allied Workers Union, and president of the International Domestic Workers Federation.

Then we’ll hear about the strike at Fordham University from My Labor Radio: Interviews and information about working Americans broadcast weekly on WELT 95.7 FM in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Next, Evan Tuohy, the newly elected vice president of AFM Local 33, which represents musicians in Tucson, Arizona, talks with the Words and Work podcast, about what AFM can do for independent musicians. Words and Work is produced by the Tucson Chapter of the National Writers Union and Downtown Radio.
Then we have two reports involving workers and the movies: from Labor Radio on KBOO FM, Portland's Living Room Theater workers strike and unionize, forming the Cinema Workers Union. And, from the Labor Goes to the Movies podcast, a deep dive into the films “Blonde” and “Elvis” with Carnegie Mellon professor Kathy Newman, who wrote “Marilyn and Elvis: Dead Labor in the Age of Streaming.”
