Errol Minor opens the show with a discussion of the upcoming CWA National Human Rights Conference, highlighting the importance of education, activism, and building power through collective action. David Marshall follows with the Marshall Minute, offering thoughtful perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing workers today. The hosts then revisit “Is There a New Movement? Democratic Socialism and What Is It? Socialism vs. Capitalism,” breaking down the differences between these systems and why the debate is becoming increasingly relevant.

The conversation continues with “The End of Reading? Is Labor Entering a Post-Literate Era?”, exploring how declining reading habits and the rise of short-form media may be changing the way workers understand their rights and engage with their unions. The show concludes with “The Leaders We Need Are Already Here: Why Union Members Make Some of America’s Best Leaders,” highlighting how everyday workers develop the skills, courage, and experience to lead their communities. Timmia Wiley closes the program with Union Buster of the Week, exposing attacks on worker rights and reinforcing the importance of informed, engaged union members.
