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.
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]
