The Texas Labor Podcast
“The Texas Labor Podcast” brings to the table discussion on all things labor. From the standpoint of the ones getting it done! Discussions range from worker’s rights to labor shortages and policies, and yes, even the politics that affect us all. Using history as our guide, we explore how we got to where we are and how we may be able to leave things a little better for the next generation of American workers.
