    Great podcast!
    Thank you for keeping us informed!

    Excited to hear more!
    I really enjoyed this. I’m definitely a big supporter of unions and the labor movement, but I’m not an expert or really familiar with a lot of legislation. This first episode was really informative without feeling too much like shop talk for me to understand. I felt engaged as a listener and left the episode with questions I want answered, and I want to research more on my own. Looking forward to hearing more!
