On Wednesday June 25, Philadelphia’s exclusive labor talk radio program, Today In PhillyLabor, which airs every Wednesday evening from 6pm-8pm on Philadelphia’s legendary talk radio station, WWDB 860 AM, took a giant leap forward in reaching its goal of becoming a primary voice and media platform representing the Philadelphia area labor movement by officially welcoming Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO President Pat Eiding to the show as a new co-host.
“Pat will facilitate his co-hosting duties both live in the studio and via live call-in segments on a weekly basis and will provide the show with a level of expertise and credibility worthy of representing the vast Philadelphia labor community as a credible news source,” says co-host and PhillyLabor.com president, Joe Doc Jr. “We could not be more excited about having Pat Eiding on the broadcast. His perspective and insight on issues related to the Philadelphia area labor movement and beyond are so valuable to the program. It really does give our listeners the inside scoop. We are very fortunate to have him on board,” says Doc Jr.
Pat Eiding’s Goals For The Show Include The Following:
“Working People need a voice. That’s why I’m thrilled to have the radio show and be a part of it,” said Eiding. “We want to make sure that we get the message out that we represent all working people and we are committed to protecting their rights and accomplishments, particularly in the face of anti-union political agendas. The radio program is a great platform to do that.”
Rave Reviews
The show has also been received rave reviews throughout the Phila area labor community by both labor leaders and political leaders who have been featured guests on the show as well as from rank and file union members who tune in each week to enjoy the broadcast. Echoing the sentiments of many, Ryan Boyer, Business Manager of the Laborer’s District Council, said during his on air segment, “This show is exactly what labor needs to voice it’s issues and agendas”. We need to support it and help take it all the way”.
“We’ve already been asked to renew for a full year by the station and national labor talk radio shows are taking notice and wanting to piggy back off of our success, says show producer and co-host Joe Krause of Jakib Media. It’s a great feeling to see that people are taking notice”
