    We Ask: What Are Unions Doing about Members’ Mental Health?
    Dec 9 2025
    Mental health problems are on the rise, and finding help can be tough. To make matters worse, people often don’t want to talk about it. So, this week on The Heartland Labor Forum we’re going to talk about it and ask what our local unions do to support union leaders’, members’ and their families’ mental health. We’ll talk with two unions – the Plumbers Local 8 and Firefighters Local 42 that both have model programs. Our feature is Labor Song of the Month with Mark Galus.

This week on the Heartland Labor Forum American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten will talk about her book "Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy.” Then, one of the most common and underreported crimes in the US is wage theft. It costs workers some $50 billion a year. We’ll get some true crime stories from attorney Ray Salva. Our feature is Safety First with Mary Erio.

  • Thanks for the Labor and Work Songs

    Thanks for the Labor and Work Songs
    Nov 25 2025
    As we did last Thanksgiving, this week we are giving thanks for labor songs and working music on the Heartland Labor Forum. Work songs would alleviate boredom and synchronize the work, while also providing important social commentary about working conditions and progressive ideals. We'll hear tracks from old favorites Pete Seeger and Anne Feeney, as well as some unexpected working music from Devo and Eddie Rabbit.
