Podcast Discussion on Labor Rights and Union Support with Mark Pocan and AFL-CIO President Liz Schuler

Published | Video Starts at 03:46

And what is the future of the labor movement? Well, there's no one better suited to talk about all of these issues than the President of the AFL CIO, Liz Schueller. The AFL CIO is a federation of 63 national and international unions representing over 15 million people. I believe. Is that right, Liz? 15. Wow. That's awesome. Liz was elected by acclamation to serve as the AFL CIO president in June of 2022, after the unexpected passing of her predecessor, Richard Trumka. (03:46–03:55)
