Trumka on why art matters to labor

Broadcast on May 25, 2023
Hosted by Chris Garlock and Ed Smith

For 40 years, labor activists have gathered to celebrate the labor movement through the arts at the Labor Heritage Foundation’s Great Labor Arts Exchange, which takes place June 15-18 in Linthicum Heights, MD this year. On today’s show, we hear what former AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka -- who died in 2021 – had to say about the importance of the arts to the labor movement.

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
