This week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly spotlights workers and activists confronting powerful institutions—from Big Tech’s rapidly expanding data centers to global snack companies, anti-union politicians, and workplace conflicts on the job. On Economics for the People from Dollars & Sense, activists Katie Currid and Rachel Gonzalez discuss the boom in artificial-intelligence-driven data centers across the Midwest and the enormous demands these facilities place on local electricity grids and water supplies. On the Green and Red Podcast, host Scott Parkin talks with forest campaigner Maggie Martin about the campaign targeting Mondelēz International—the company behind Oreos, Cadbury, and Toblerone—over tropical deforestation and labor abuses in its supply chains. The Solidarity Podcast from Teamsters Local 769 in Miami features Business Agent Andy Madtes explaining new anti-union legislation moving through the Florida legislature and why union members need to organize and push back. On Hot House with Richie Ray, the focus is workplace conflict for letter carriers. Richie breaks down common Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) issues, mistakes workers make during disputes, and practical ways carriers can protect themselves on the job. And on We Rise Fighting, Olivia Najera-Garcia of the Union of Southern Service Workers talks about organizing service workers in North Carolina and building worker power across the South.
