She’s remembered as a legendary singer-songwriter, country superstar, LGBQT icon and champion for kids literacy, but she was also very important in telling the stories of working class women. In the comedy 9 to 5, with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, Dolly centered women working in offices (often treated as objects and second class citizens) into subversive underdogs.The part that few people know is that movie was inspired by a real life movement of women workers who challenged these power dynamics in the corporate offices. In a special Labor Day episode, we talk with Karen Nussbaum, co-founder of the labor-feminist organization 9to5, which inspired the movie and song by Dolly Parton, about the movement to organize clerical workers. Guest Bio// Karen Nussbaum was a cofounder of the pioneering labor-feminist organization 9to5. She is a member of the board of Working America which has 3.5 million members. She writes on women, labor, politics and culture.-----------------------------🎵 Outro"Green and Red Blues" by Moody** 🔗 Links🌐 **Dolly Parton’s Fight for Working Women** https://bit.ly/3UYFFAd🌐 Karen's website: https://www.karennussbaum.com/ 💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ Make a One-Time Donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR 🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website:https://greenandredpodcast.org 🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org✊ Worker Power Radio: https://workerpowerradio.ismyradio.com/ 🎬 Production🎬 This is a Green and Red Podcast production.👨‍🏫 Produced by: Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by: Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis of U.S. politics, leftist strategy, labor, environmental issues, and anti-establishment resistance

As former secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO’s Industrial Division and director of the AFL-CIO's Center for Strategic Campaigns, Joe fought from the inside. But in 2005, he stepped away from the AFL-CIO to found the Labor Network for Sustainability, forging deep alliances between labor, climate, and environmental movements. His vision: transform the labor movement to embrace ecological responsibility—and environmentalism to uplift working-class solidarity.But Joe’s work has never been confined to boardrooms or picket lines. With a guitar in hand, he’s shared stages with Pete Seeger and Tom Morello, turning songs into rallying cries and stories into tools for resistance.In our latest, we're excited to talk with legendary labor and climate organizer Joe Uehlein (@joeuehlein) about his new memoir that details his life's work of labor organizing, climate organizing and music.
