{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Labor Notes Podcast","slug":"labornotespodcast","podcastDescription":"

The Labor Notes Podcast, co-hosted by organizers Danielle Smith and Natascha Elena Uhlmann, is a weekly show from the folks who put on the Labor Notes conference every two years.

We’ll talk about the strikes, contract campaigns, shop floor actions, reform caucus organizing, and union elections that our staff and rank-and-file workers in the labor movement’s troublemaking wing write about and work on all year round.

New episodes on Fridays.
