★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ ]]> Lots of Alabama news in the first half of the show. We talk to Robyn Hyden from Alabama Arise about their work and what they're expecting from next year's legislative session. The Alabama Attorney General is undercutting farm workers on behalf of farm bosses, and small towns are giving big chains lots of money. 

In OVERTIME, we've got labor historian Michael Goldfield on to talk about the role of the left in labor and what lessons folks on the left should take from the CIO upsurge. Also: the UAW got the Stellantis CEO fired, public employees in Wisconsin have the right to unionize again, and AFGE's National President DESTROYS Musk and Ramaswamy's arguments on national TV.
