On this episode of The Voice Podcast, New York AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento talks about the powerful state federation, which represents more than 2.2 million members in the public and private sectors.
Cilento and UUP President Fred Kowal, the host of The Voice Podcast, talk about Cilento's role in making the the state AFL-CIO into a year-round legislative action network that has only grown stronger since he became president in 2011.
They also discuss the November 2024 residential election and the state AFL-CIO's role in helping Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats running for Congress and state office win their races.
A new segment, Labor Lookback, spotlights important milestones in labor history. In this episode, Labor Lookback highlights songwriter and political activist Joe Hill, the House Un-American Activities Committee's 1947 hearings on alleged Communist influence in Hollywood’s film industry and singer/songwriter Merle Travis, who wrote the smash working man's hit "Sixteen Tons."
In his Kowal's Coda segment, Kowal questions why MAGA supporters have the temerity to call themselves patriots when they—and their leader, Donald Trump—
are anything but.
