LaborForce Media and veteran labor broadcaster Rick Smith have launched The Daily Jolt with Rick Smith, a daily radio and podcast program built for working people, union households, labor leaders, civic-minded listeners, and anyone who believes the economy should work for the people who keep it running.

A platform where union voices can help explain not only what is happening, but why it matters to working people across the country. Guests may include union leaders, workers, policy experts, journalists, advocates, elected officials, workforce leaders, and subject-matter experts connected to labor, healthcare, benefits, safety, retirement security, apprenticeship, economic fairness, civic rights, and working-class communities.

The program is also designed to move beyond identifying problems. Each episode connects issues to impact, brings facts into the conversation, and helps listeners understand where action, organizing, education, advocacy, or community engagement may be part of the solution.So much winning/\Congress tone deafLabor History; 1965 Peabody father/son strikeChild labor deathsMeasles -RFK Jr.Labor History 1851 William Cooper Fugitive Slave ActUnemployment Fraud
