  • Call for action!
    Jul 29 2025

    On this episode I sit down with DBR Scott Brown and BR Kevin Watkinson. They just learned that one of our local dealerships that was filled with union members has been bought by the Molle auto group. They then told all of the union members that they were not being hired back. Please listen and spread the word to boycott these shops and call and demand that the hard working union members be hired and the unions be recognized.
