Dave Weigel and I sat down to talk with Luscious Lefties Podcast to talk the open union shop at the Washington Post, Tom Perez, Sara Innamorato challenge to the Pittsburgh Democratic Machine, and Writers Guild activist Daniel Marans valuable advice on why she alienate anti-union Vox reporter German Lopez.
A protege of the late William Greider, Mike Elk is a yinzer labor reporter, who covered the drug war in Brasil and spent years covering union organizing in the South for the Guardian. In 2016, he used his $70,000 NLRB settlement from being fired in the union drive at Politico to start the crowd-funded Payday Report while living in Chattanooga. The son of United Electrical Workers (UE) Director of Organization Gene Elk, he now lives in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Melk@PaydayReport.com
