We are flying back in with a special guest! Our flies Kennedy and Aniya sit down with AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler as she discusses her journey from a young activist to becoming the first female leader of the federation. She highlights the stark differences between the Biden and Trump administrations, arguing that recent executive actions have undermined federal worker protections and collective bargaining rights. Shuler details how the labor movement is combating union-busting, navigating the risks of artificial intelligence, and advocating for immigrant rights through grassroots mobilization and legal challenges. She also emphasizes the vital role of younger generations in driving a modern resurgence of labor interest and organizational energy. Tune in!
