"Labor law currently...is working for the billionaire and the oligarch class and not for regular workers," said NewsGuild president @gaufre on the @RickSmithShow.

.@TxBldgTrades Executive Director Ryan Pollock joined @RickSmithShow to make it clear: real job creation lifts workers out of poverty and into valuable careers.
That requires fair wages, skill-building, strong safety standards, and DOL-Registered Apprenticeship Programs! – at Texas, USA

WATCH: Thanks to @RickSmithShow for having @TTDAFLCIO President Greg Regan on to discuss the necessary, commonsense rail safety reforms that we need to see in the freight rail industry. Workers and communities shouldn't be collateral damage as companies seek to maximize profits.

Always great to be on the @RickSmithShow ! But wish I had better news to share re. third quarter Trump II year one:
-manufacturing jobs down 49,000

DGA's @SamNewton on the @RickSmithShow on the role the govt shutdown will play in VA's gov race:
It's definitely top of mind for voters down the stretch. Voters in VA blame Republicans for the shutdown. It's been DOGE 2.0 - and DOGE 1.0 was already a disaster for VA's economy.

Workers all over the country are feeling the effects of how hard their lives are getting under Corporate Americas control of Washington DC.
The constant attacks on collective bargaining and organizing rights are making it harder for American workers to get by.
That’s why here in CA, we are proud to have advocated for AB 288 and that Governor Newsom signed ✒️ the CA Right to Organize Act. Because when the Federal government fails to do its job, we as a state must be proactive.
