Re:Work

Re:Work is a weekly radio show that brings you real stories that rethink work. Produced by the UCLA Labor Center, it airs every Friday from 6:30 – 7pm on KPFK 90.7FM and KPFK.org.  Re:Work is the only storytelling show in the country focused on work. 

Most of us work for a living. Sometimes our jobs take us through hell and back, sometimes they bore us to tears, and sometimes they give us a reason to keep going. We share our stories with close friends and family, but often leave it at that.  Meanwhile, jobs are becoming more and more scarce, temporary, and low-paying. From the gardener landscaping mansions to the security guard on the graveyard shift to the carwash worker making just tips-- all these workers have stories about how they got there, and how they get by despite all odds. 

Re:Work believes that it’s time to hear from workers who don’t often make it into the spotlight-- and change the future of work. Using the power of stories, Re:Work challenges, expands and enlightens the way we see (or don’t see) work. Let’s rethink work.
