With production costs donated by WeAct Radio, Payday Report is excited to launch our first podcast. Each week, we will be bringing labor news from around the country and the world.
This week, we discuss the Writers’ Guild strike in Hollywood, the massive federal workers’ strike in Canada, and the death of Harry Belafonte.
