Union Women Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
On this week’s Labor Heritage Power Hour we share highlights from a special edition of the program that originally aired on WPFW on International Women’s Day, hosted by Elise Bryant and celebrating Women’s History Month and the powerful role of women in the labor movement.
Elise has conversations with labor leaders and activists about women’s organizing, labor history, and the ongoing fight for workplace justice and equality. Guests include Chelsea Bland, President of the Metro DC Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW), Sig Milius, DC CLUW leader and Director of the Community Services Agency of the Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO, Daniella Byck, member of the Washingtonian Guild (CWA).
The show also highlights women labor leaders who have broken barriers in the labor movement, including Liz Shuler, President of the AFL-CIO, Roxanne Brown, President of the United Steelworkers, and April Verrett, President of SEIU.
Tune in to explore the legacy of women in labor history, the continuing struggle for pay equity and worker power, and the organizing campaigns happening right now in Washington, DC and across the country.
