Summary

Artificial intelligence dominates this week's Labor Radio/Podcast Weekly. The Workers Mic examines Pope Leo XIV's call to protect the dignity of work in the age of AI, while WorkWeek Radio, the International Labour Organization's Future of Work podcast, and Working Voices explore automation, inequality, workplace surveillance, and who benefits from the rapid deployment of new technologies. Then we step away from AI for a look at the human side of work, as Project Labor profiles a funeral director whose profession centers on service and compassion. And the Manufacturing Report visits Rhode Island's historic Slater Mill to trace the origins of American manufacturing and the lessons it offers workers today. Plus, Shows You Should Know. Hosted by Chris, Harold, Thejis and Steve Matthews.
