The Rick Smith Show 9-11-2026

On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with Labor reporter Michael Sainato to break down the week's top labor stories, Trump's former labor secretary accused of drinking on the job and creating a toxic workplace, union membership gains in 2025 concentrated in states with bargaining protections, and the AFL-CIO's push to ban electronic shelf labels that threaten jobs, drive up grocery prices, and enable surveillance pricing. Then political commentator Dr. Duvalier J. Malone explains why working people need action, not rhetoric.
