James Burrows (Montana AFL-CIO) / Kristine Grow (Coalition for Medicare Choices)

Montana AFL-CIO Communications Director James Burrows was the first guest on today’s show. He spoke about worker mobilization efforts over the last six months, pushing labor issues to the forefront, the history of so-called “Right to Work” in Montana and the long history of attacks on workers rights to collectively bargain.

Kristine Grow of the Coalition for Medicare Choices also joined the AWF Union Podcast today. She discussed Medicare Advantage and why it is so popular, how Medicare Advantage supported seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what legislation could affect Medicare Advantage.
