43-15
Hosted by Meagan Sullivan & Jon Reynolds, the 43-15 podcast derives its name from the devastating union election vote count at No Evil Foods, which came back 43 against, 15 for, after the company subjected workers to a total of seven mandatory anti-union propaganda meetings. The goal of the podcast is to expose the tactics, talking points, and union busting industry as a whole, while also spotlighting ongoing struggles among the working class.Linktree: https://linktr.ee/4315
