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 Bill Greider, Mike Elk is an Emmy-nominated labor reporter who covered Lula & the drug war in Brasil and spent years covering union organizing in the South for The Guardian. In 2016, he used his NLRB settlement from being fired illegally for union organizing at Politico to start the crowd-funded Payday Report. The son of retired United Electrical Workers (UE) Director of Organization Gene Elk, he was once described as an "abrasive gadfly" by the New York Times for his role in exposing sexual misconduct in the labor movement. He lives in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Email: [email protected]
