He also discussed the potential of the NLRB to make captive audience meetings illegal and the successful Amazon Labor Union win.

Mike Polkki, District 1 Training Coordinator for the United Steelworkers (USW), appeared on the AWF Union Podcast and discussed low-cost OSHA safety training offered by the USW and the how the tragic death of USW member Kevin Wilson led to an initiative that sponsors the training.
