  Can Unions Turn Votes Into Real Power?

  Sep 28, 202610 min

  Labor is pushing back into American politics—but is electoral politics enough to rebuild working-class power? With more union candidates running for Congress, deeper labor organizing taking shape, and the fight to organize Amazon continuing, this segment asks a bigger question: Can workers turn political energy into lasting collective power? #LaborForcePodcast #Labor #Unions #WorkerPower #WorkingClass #UnionOrganizing #Amazon #Capitalism #Socialism #WorkersRights

  Working full-time but still broke: The real economic crisis

  Sep 26, 202612 min

  Mortgage rates are back above 7%. Rent is becoming unaffordable even for middle-income families. Poverty among older Americans is rising. Consumer spending is slowing. And in New York, billions of dollars in federal funding for healthcare and SNAP are at risk. Meanwhile, we're still being told that the economy is entering a “golden age.” This is the contradiction at the heart of American capitalism: the economy can grow while the people who actually produce the wealth struggle to afford housing, healthcare, food, and retirement. The real question isn't whether GDP is growing. It's who is benefiting from that growth — and who is being forced to pay for it? #Capitalism #WorkingClass #ClassWar #CostOfLiving #HousingCrisis #RentCrisis #EconomicInequality #Labor #Workers #Unions #Inflation #Poverty #LaborForcePodcast

  The Hidden Cost of Diesel: Why Everything Is Expensive

  Sep 22, 202612 min

  Diesel prices are hitting record highs — and workers are paying the price. In this segment, we look at how rising diesel costs are driving up food prices, transportation costs, heating bills and inflation, while farmers, truckers and small businesses get squeezed. We also examine the Federal Reserve, interest rates, supply-chain disruptions and the declining labor share of income — and why workers keep absorbing the costs of an economy increasingly tilted toward capital.

  The Labor Market Paradox: Why You Can’t Find a Job Even When Everyone Is Hiring

  Sep 21, 202616 min

  The labor market is full of contradictions. Employers say they can't find enough workers, yet millions of people are struggling to find jobs. Young workers without college degrees are finding opportunities in some industries while traditional white-collar career paths are becoming less secure. AI is beginning to reshape wages and work, older workers face age barriers, and more Americans are wondering whether they’ll ever be able to afford retirement. In this segment, we look at what’s really happening beneath the headlines about labor shortages, AI and employment. If workers are producing more, why isn't that security reaching them? If America needs workers, why are older workers being pushed out? And if working a lifetime doesn't guarantee retirement, what does that say about the economy we've built? #LaborForcePodcast #Labor #Workers #Unions #WorkingClass #Jobs #Economy #AI #Retirement #WorkerPower #Capitalism

  The Labor Fight Never Stops: How Workers Are Winning Back Power

  Sep 19, 202620 min

  Workers are organizing across the economy — from Amazon delivery drivers and Michigan factory workers to Maine nurses, museum employees in Rochester, and UPS Teamsters. But everywhere workers try to build collective power, employers are fighting back. This segment looks at what these organizing fights have in common. From the Bradford White strike to the organizing campaign at the George Eastman Museum, these stories show that the labor movement isn't confined to one industry or one kind of worker. The struggle is over who has power at work — the people who do the work, or the corporations and institutions that control it. #LaborForcePodcast #Labor #Unions #Workers #UnionOrganizing #WorkerPower #WorkingClass #Amazon #Teamsters #UAW #Nurses #LaborMovement #Strike #RochesterNY #UPS
