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.
Mike Elk is an Emmy-nominated labor reporter who covered everything from Lula & the Brazilian labor movement to major league baseball. He spent years covering union organizing in the South for The Guardian and was labeled by the New York Times as an "abrasive gadfly" for exposing within the labor movement.
Raised in a UE union family in Pittsburgh, Elk was illegally for union organizing at Politico in 2015 and used his NLRB settlement to start the crowd-funded Payday Report. He lives in his hometown of Pittsburgh and is fluent in both Pittsburghese and Portuguese, which he learned when attending journalism school at PUC-Rio de Janerio. Email: [email protected]
