Episode Synopsis

In this wide-ranging episode, I dive deep into the latest battles over labor rights, the disruption caused by AI, and the fight for dignity in the modern workplace. From political power grabs aimed at crushing unions to billion-dollar tech firms casually announcing mass layoffs via AI, the threats are real—but so is the resistance. Plus, we end with an inspiring look at how worker cooperatives are reclaiming power from the ground up.


Topics covered:
Union-Busting in Utah and the Fightback
Trump’s War on Civil Servants
Significance of Zohran Mamdani's NYC primary win
The AI Disruption Is Here
Remote Work and Real Priorities
Overwork as Identity?
Worker Co-ops as the Alternative


Key question:
How do you feel about the rise of AI in the workplace—hopeful, worried, or both? And what would a fair, empowering future of work look like to you?
