Send us a textWelcome to Episode 15 – Andy is talking all things labor unions with the first woman president of the AFL-CIO, the devastating impacts of the “Big Ugly Bill” on rural communities, and switching it up by “kicking it old school” with Will and John. This week’s guest is AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler! The AFL-CIO represents nearly 15 million working people from 63 national and international unions. Shuler is the first woman president of the organization, and as a visionary leader and longtime trade unionist, Shuler believes the labor movement is the single most powerful vehicle for progress in our everyday lives. She’s committed to busting labor union myths, leveraging the labor movement’s diversity for social justice, and sharing the benefits of a union voice on the job with working people everywhere. Andy is back with John McConnell and Will Beshear to break down the latest national headlines—from what we know now about the response to the devastating Texas floods to the continued fallout of the “Big Ugly Bill” and Trump’s tumultuous relationship with Russia. In this week’s In My Kentucky Accent, Andy shares how the “Big Ugly Bill” will impact healthcare in Kentucky – and across the country. It’s devastating to healthcare, our economy, and most importantly, our people.In this episode, we’re flipping the script with Will Beshear asking John and Andy about Gen X lingo.
