In Episode 5, we have a conversation with Directing Business Representative, Jeremy Pearson from the IAM.  Living in rural America brings its own economic challenges in 2024, from higher gas prices and groceries to just everyday amenities, we discuss why its different than living in the metropolitan areas.  Jeremy shares his experience of negotiating a new labor contract with a global, multi-billion dollar corporation (CNH) and the excitement of seeing union solidarity amongst younger and older union members!  Hope you enjoy the conversation!
