Cilento and UUP President Fred Kowal, the host of The Voice Podcast, talk about Cilento's role in making the the state AFL-CIO into a year-round legislative action network that has only grown stronger since he became president in 2011.
They also discuss the November 2024 residential election and the state AFL-CIO's role in helping Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats running for Congress and state office win their races.

are anything but.
