How Public Sector Unions Are Adjusting to a Post-Trump World
Erich Wagner joins the podcast to discuss the state of organized labor in federal workplaces.

Senior reporter Erich Wagner is the reporter behind the GovExec feature story headlined “State of the Unions: A New Normal." He joined the podcast to talk about the state of organized labor.
