Imagine being drawn into the world of labor, addiction, and recovery through the eyes of Brian Eddis, a political ward leader in Northeast Philadelphia. With an intriguing background that spans construction work, politics, and union organizing, Brian opens up about his personal journey and the challenges faced by the labor movement. We delve deep into the complexities of addiction, the implications of unemployment, and the vital role of unions in upholding the dignity of the workforce amidst shifting economic landscapes.

We navigate through the profound impact of emerging technologies on labor, and the rising tide of unemployment. As we unpack the harsh realities of interest rates, inflation, and student debt, Brian offers an insightful perspective on how these factors are redefining the middle-class life. We also grapple with the grim relationship between unemployment, addiction, and the loss of dignity that often accompanies labor.

In a compelling narrative, Brian takes us from the construction site to the political arena, highlighting the transformative power of hard work, dedication, and loyalty. We explore the rapidly changing face of labor, and the urgent need for innovative strategies for unions to stay relevant. Wrapping up, we shed light on Brian’s inspiring recovery journey, the importance of mentorship, and the changing attitudes towards substance abuse in the workplace. This episode is a riveting exploration of the labor movement, the process of recovery, and the complex ties that bind them.
