Union City Radio’s Chris Garlock and Ed Smith discuss worker rights with local activists/organizers and take listener calls.
Guests on today’s show include ATU’s Elana Kessler on how local transit workers won enforcement of DC’s paid sick days law and forced their employer to re-hire unjustly fired workers, and the Employment Justice Center’s Emma Cleveland, on the upcoming Community Speak-Out about Unjust Firing. As WPFW’s August pledge drive -- call 202-588-9739 or pledge online at wpfwfm.org -- we have a special thank-you gift for listeners to Your Rights at Work: everyone who pledges $50 or more will get a 2015 DC LaborFest t-shirt, a real collector’s item, because these t-shirts are never available for sale; we only give them to LaborFest volunteers and now we’re making them available to WPFW supporters for a pledge of $50 or more. You’ll look great and you’ll be supporting a great community radio station! Garlock, Union Cities Coordinator for the Metro Washington Council, AFL-CIO, hosts the daily Union City Radio feature on WPFW. Smith is a labor lawyer, Executive Director of the DC Nurses Association and lead vocalist for the Judge Smith Band. Click here for an archive of previous “Your Rights At Work” preview shows.
