She Leads America’s Largest Union. Now She’s Fighting Trump’s War On Workers.

The corporate war on American workers has reached a critical boiling point.
On this episode of Coffee with Contrarians, Norm Eisen and April Ryan sit down with Liz Shuler, President of the AFL-CIO, to lay bare Trump’s dismantling of labor rights over the past 17 months. Shuler exposes how the Trump administration stripped collective bargaining rights from nearly one million federal workers, and how union contractors are being bypassed to line the pockets of political insiders.

Despite the intense onslaught, Shuler reveals how the modern labor movement is growing, organizing, and fighting back at every single step.
