Who's Running This Place: Labor flexes political muscle as Election Day approaches

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 8

Every Thursday from 1 to 2 PM on WNYC, through Election Day, WNYC senior political reporter Brigid Bergin hosts a pop-up local politics call-in show called Who's Running This Place. You can find out more on WNYC.org, and stay tuned to this podcast feed. We'll be sharing Brigid's conversations here every Thursday evening. 

Transit workers union president John Samuelsen explains why he believes New York's top Democrat, Gov. Kathy Hochul, is no friend of the working class. WNYC senior politics reporter Brigid Bergin examines what the clash says about the Democratic Party's relationship with organized labor, along with WNYC/Gothamist reporters Clayton Guse, Jimmy Vielkind and Elizabeth Kim.
