This week on Givers, Doers, and Thinkers, Jeremy sits down with Aaron Withe to discuss the peculiar challenges government unions pose for a healthy civil society.  Aaron Withe is the Chief Executive Officer of the Freedom Foundation. He began his career at the Freedom Foundation in 2015 and was appointed CEO in 2021. Aaron is the author of Freedom is the Foundation: How We Are Defeating Progressive Tyranny by Taking on the Government Unions.  What are private sector unions, and how are they different from government unions? What is the impact of the 2018 Janus v AFSCME decision? Jeremy and Aaron discuss the influence of unions and what is required to ensure transparency for taxpayers and union members. Aaron shares his experience in resisting the power of government unions and the cost of doing so.   You can find Givers, Doers, & Thinkers at Philanthropy Daily, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Buzzsprout, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
