This is the full 6-21-2026 episode of the Labor Express Radio program. BP oil refinery workers in Whiting, Indiana, members of the Steel Workers union, have been locked out for over 3 months.  I talk with USW Local 7‑1 President Eric Schultz about the events leading up to the lockout, how his members are holding up, and how working people can demonstrate solidarity with his members. Also, the fight to organize workers at Amazon is only growing, a report from the 2026 Labor Notes Conference. Labor Express Radio is Chicago's oldest labor news and current affairs radio program. News for working people, by working people. Labor Express Radio airs every Sunday at 8:00 PM on WLPN in Chicago, 105.5 FM.
