Tim Burga (Ohio AFL-CIO) / Frank Manzo (Illinois Economic Policy Institute)

Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga was our first guest on today’s show. Burga spoke about the need to stop the outsourcing of LED lightbulb manufacturing, OSHA implementing emergency temporary standards, the Biden administration’s legislative agenda and the need for major public investment in our infrastructure.

Illinois Economic Policy Institute Policy Director Frank Manzo rejoined the AWF Union Podcast today to discuss his newly released studies. Manzo’s studies dive into so-called “Right to Work” and how workers in states with a so-called “Right to Work” earn less, and the cost of wage theft and payroll fraud.
