Making Chips podcast: Workplace Safety Is Non-Negotiable

February 12. 2026

Policy Director Jessica Ramey Stender was interviewed by the Making Chips podcast for an episode called “Workplace Safety Is Non-Negotiable: Addressing Violence, Harassment, and Responsibility in Manufacturing.”

Prompted by the recent murder of Amber Czech, a tradeswoman (welder) who was killed by a coworker after reporting harassment multiple times, the episode features a candid conversation about how harassment often becomes normalized in the trades, why underreporting is so common, and how unchecked behavior can escalate into violence.
