A justice filled hour of talk, solidarity, and worker power from the Communications Workers of America! Listen in as we talk with workers and union leaders about the issues they are facing and the exciting things they are doing to build power for social and economic justice at work and in their communities.
Preserving Family and Labor History; Allegations at Tesla; Threats to Collective Bargaining Rights
This week we explore the importance of preserving family and labor history, allegations of racial discrimination and pay disparities at Tesla, threats to collective bargaining rights, and why poverty often makes everyday life more expensive.
From workplace dignity to economic justice, we're confronting the issues affecting working families and building power through knowledge, action, and solidarity.

Same City. Different Worlds; From Free Speech to Foolishness (Cont.); The Case of Christa Pike
Errol Minor opens a powerful show challenging listeners to examine the inequalities, divisions, and decisions shaping everyday life in America. Tay Akins sets the tone with Tea With Tay, followed by David Marshall’s Marshall Minute and Timmia Wiley’s Union Buster of the Week, exposing threats to workers’ rights and collective power. The entire team then tackles “Same City. Different Worlds,” exploring how people living just miles apart can experience vastly different realities when it comes to housing, taxes, grocery prices, utilities, education, public services, and economic opportunity. The conversation continues with “From Free Speech to Foolishness,” examining when freedom of expression crosses into harmful rhetoric and real-world consequences. Finally, Reginald Small closes the discussion with a thought-provoking Human Rights Question, challenging listeners to consider the case of Christa Pike, the death penalty, and whether the state has the right to pursue an execution again after a previous attempt fails. It’s a show about inequality, accountability, human dignity, and the uncomfortable questions we must be willing to ask if we truly believe human rights belong to everyone.

Rejected Before the Interview; When Justice Becomes a Question of Human Rights
Errol Minor opens a powerful show confronting discrimination, accountability, justice, and the growing threats to human dignity. Tay Akins sets the tone with Tea With Tay, followed by David Marshall’s Marshall Minute. The conversation then turns to “Rejected Before the Interview,” examining how artificial intelligence, algorithms, names, ZIP codes, and hidden biases can determine who gets a job opportunity before a human ever reviews an application. Timmia Wiley follows with a special Union Buster of the Week, celebrating a major victory for organized labor and the workers who refused to back down. The entire team then tackles “From Free Speech to Foolishness,” exploring how hateful rhetoric, division, and reckless language can create dangerous real-world consequences. Finally, “When Justice Becomes a Question of Human Rights” examines the case of Christa Pike, the death penalty, accountability, compassion for victims and their families, and the fundamental question of how society balances punishment with human dignity. It's a show that challenges listeners to think beyond headlines and ask: Are we truly protecting justice, equality, and human rights for everyone, even when the conversations make us uncomfortable?
