Veteran Labor Reporter Tim Wheeler

New Episode of Neglected Stories: People, History, Movements
Airs Saturday, May 3, 10–11 AM on www.gtownradio.com & 92.9 FM Germantown Community Radio

Join us for a powerful new episode of Neglected Stories: People, History, Movements, hosted by Pedro Rodriguez, as we honor the radical roots of May Day with a deep dive into the legacy of working-class struggle.

This week, Pedro sits down with veteran labor reporter Tim Wheeler, whose decades of experience covering labor, civil rights, and grassroots movements make him a living archive of American people’s history. The episode focuses on the history of May Day — its origins as an international day of workers’ resistance, and how it has been remembered (and often erased) in the U.S.

Tim also shares stories from his new book, which highlights the remarkable life of George Meyer, a longtime labor organizer and working-class hero. Meyer spent decades organizing shipyard workers, defending union democracy, and challenging corporate power — often in the face of political repression and personal risk. In the book “No Greater Power: The Life and Times of George A. Meyer”

Listeners will get a glimpse into Meyer’s unwavering commitment to justice and the powerful lessons his life offers today’s movement builders.

Whether you’re a longtime labor activist or just curious about the history behind May Day, this episode offers a rare and moving perspective on the lives behind the headlines.
