New Speaker, New Union, and Doing Right by Joe Hill

Utah House Republicans elected new leadership this week, and host Ali Vallarta thinks you should put Speaker Mike Schultz’s number in your phone right now. Ali and executive producer Emily Means discuss expectations for Schultz heading into the next legislative session. Plus, unionizing is afoot among University of Utah Health workers, which is perfect timing as a memorial for labor activist Joe Hill is about to be unveiled in Sugar House Park.
