The Union Deal

The Union Deal The Union Deal tells labor’s story- bold, real, union-made. Cards, podcast, and worker memory.

We showed up last Monday at nominations not knowing what to expect. A couple members who ran against us in the previous campaign (2022) showed up, but that was it. No other nominations than what our slate had. While ballot = 3 more years.

I might have bit off more than I can chew with this pro labor history podcast, but its still coming along. Still working on EP01. Putting this podcast together has been a learning experience but we're in the home stretch. I gotta admit, it sounds ds FANTASTIC. Improved audios over my last podcast.

Been working on a project called The Union Deal. It’s a deck of playing cards, but each card tells a simple union story.

Also halfway done working on a podcast where each episode is a supplement to the stories of each face card.

Final product will be printed in a Union print shop and will have the Union bug proudly displayed.

Planning for a November launch.

Union made.
Union printed.
Union delivered.
