Hey everyone, Tom Raftery here, and I'm excited to share the latest episode of my Digital Supply Chain podcast. In this special May 1st episode, we're celebrating International Workers' Day by exploring the crucial role of workers in the supply chain industry, their invaluable contributions, and the ongoing pursuit of equality, fairness, and improved working conditions.
In this episode, we delve into fascinating stories from the past and present, including:
🔹 The construction of the Panama Canal and its impact on global trade
🔹 The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the birth of labor rights activism
🔹 The Luddite movement and the challenges posed by technological advancements
Throughout the episode, we'll also touch upon the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a global blueprint for a more equitable, prosperous, and sustainable future.
Join me as we embark on a journey through the stories and milestones that have shaped the experiences of supply chain workers around the world. Let's celebrate their resilience, honor their accomplishments, and explore the ways we can all contribute to a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone.
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Reach out to me on social media or leave a comment on my website.
Together, let's continue to make a difference in the world of supply chain management.
Happy International Workers' Day!
Tom
