Summary

Today we take a deep dive into two critical fronts for working families. First, Ohio Federation of Teachers President Melissa Cropper exposes a late-night legislative raid on educator pensions, higher-ed funding threats, and an escalating library union-busting campaign. Then, leadership from the Blue Cross Blue Shield National Labor Office joins us for a vital Mental Health Awareness Month conversation on the maternal mental health crisis and how the labor movement can better protect working mothers.
