I am your host, Mimi Garcia, and it's so great to have you here with our second episode. So, these last couple of weeks have been really rough, and when this episode airs, I am sure that we'll be talking about a whole new slate of, diabolical schemes from the White House In this episode, we're talking about labor and organizing workers.And there have been some recent developments that as of the recording of this introduction, February 5th, 2025, um, Trump has been working on gutting the leadership of the National Labor Relations Board, we call it the NLRB .And the NLRB is an independent federal agency that's in charge of protecting workers rights to organize and form unions, and they really do a lot of important work to investigate labor violations, settle disputes, certify union elections, Trump fired one of the NLRB board members, Gwen A.

So these three have been sort of the holdouts for the NLRB. It's no big surprise that the Trump administration would want to limit workers abilities to organize.Now, it's pretty clear to at least constitutional experts that this is probably unconstitutional.It's not clear what's going to happen next, but we're definitely watching what's happening in that space.But I am really pleased to be joined by a good friend of mine an organizer named Seth Hutchinson. Seth is the Senior Campaign Lead Organizer with the Communications Workers of America or CWA, and he leads organizing campaigns in what is CWA's District 6 that covers Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas. CWA has historically been a telephone company union. It started in the 1930s, and it really grew to include workers from a wide variety of sectors, including public employees, so people who work for ...
