In this video installment of Battleground Baltimore, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with Laura Albans and Matt Papich, two workers at the renowned Baltimore Museum of Art who are involved in a crucial unionization effort that is currently taking place at the museum. From security guards and visitor services to art installers and curators, workers across departments are fighting to form a "wall-to-wall" union with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 67. After officially announcing their unionization effort in late September, BMA workers have joined a broader surge in labor organizing at cultural institutions around the country, including at the nearby Walters Museum in Baltimore. According to the union's mission statement, "We, the BMA staff, are part of the wave of change that is happening at cultural institutions around the country. By forming a union, we will champion better working conditions for all employees and create a positive cultural shift throughout the institution and the Baltimore community."In this interview, Alvarez talks with Albans and Papich about the work they do, how the unionization drive developed, and where things currently stand between workers and museum leadership. Laura Albans is a curatorial research associate who has worked at the BMA for nearly two decades; Matt Papich works in the exhibitions design and installation department and has been with the museum for 15 years.Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/baltimore-museum-workers-are-fighting-for-a-wall-to-wall-unionHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Methuselah lived to 969 years old, according to the Bible. In our recent age, Jeanne Calmet holds the title of the oldest person who ever lived. She lived to be 122 years and 164 days old. There's a woman in Japan, Kane Tanaka, who is currently 118. Jiroemon Kimuri, also from Japan, is the oldest man of all time, living to 116 years and 54 days. How did they do it? How do some people avoid the deterioration and weakness that plagues many of their peers decades early? Is it luck, or something else? Is it possible to grow older without getting sicker? Could a 90-year-old not look a day over 50? In Age Later, Dr. Nir Barzilai, a pioneer in aging research, looked both at the four age-related diseases that take most of us (diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's) and at SuperAgers (people who have maintained active lives well into their 90s who've never experienced any of those diseases). What can we learn from these subjects, who have not only reached a ripe old age but have further ripened the older they get? Dr. Barzilai revealed the secrets of these SuperAgers and the scientific discoveries so that we can mimic some of their natural resistance to the aging process. This isn't to say we'll live to 969, but there's still plenty of life yet to live for all of us. Dr. Nir Barzilai is the founding Director of the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and is Director of the Nathan Shock Center for Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging and the Einstein Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging. He is also the Scientific Director of the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR). Lee Hood, MD, PhD is a world-renowned scientist who co-founded Seattle's Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in 2000 and served as its first President from 2000-2017. When ISB affiliated with Providence in 2016, Dr. Hood became Providence's Senior Vice President and Chief Science Officer. He is also Chief Strategy Officer and Professor at ISB.

This, as protests erupt over pushing Progressive ideology in the classroom by union (read Democrat) activists/teachers in our government-run schools. Will this finally motivate a mass flight from state-run indoctrination factories, or will we passively concur that we love Big Teacher?

Meet Patrick Nolan Patrick is the Executive Director of Friends of Organ Mountains-Desert Peak. Patrick brings thirteen years of organizing experience and six years with the American Federation of Teachers New Mexico (AFTNM). With AFTNM, Patrick worked with school employees across the state of New Mexico as they advocated for strong public schools. Patrick's work with the American Federation of State and County and Municipal employees took him to several western states, Alaska, Utah, Colorado, and Washington. Public lands play a pivotal role in all of these states and their economies, much as they do in New Mexico. The extensive time working in these states opened Patrick's eyes to the benefit of protecting and advocating for Public Lands. He worked with folks tasked with protecting and maintaining public lands on state, county, and city levels. The love they had for public lands helped Patrick learn the value of public lands. His experience building coalitions across the diverse state of New Mexico will serve him well as we advocate for Public Lands. On the podcast, we discussed: Climate change and the role public lands play in addressing it. Connecting the community to public lands. Challenge of fundraising.

American Federation of Govern v. FLRA

This week we are starting with news fresh off the picket line. BCTGM's Bakery Workers Local 3G president Trevor Bidelman called into Your Rights at Work from Battle Creek, Michigan. He reports on the strike against Kellogg's, the demands of the workers, and also builds some solidarity with people calling into the show. Then, we have Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers on The State of the Unions. Weingarten discusses what's going on at Capitol Hill and what it means for the labor movement. Next up, we hear from the New York AFL-CIO's Union Strong, where the Commissioner of the NY Department of Labor, Roberta Reardon, discusses unemployment as well as how the DOL has been addressing workers safety concerns as more people are going back to work. For the next two shows we're going to have to zoom out a bit and look at two different countries and their own informal economies. On the Solidarity Center's Podcast Brother Gbenga, one of the founders of the Federation of the Informal Workers Organizations of Nigeria speaks from the capital Lagos. Gbenga explains the Nigerian informal economy, its problems, and how his organization helps those who work within it.  A continent away, the Fairwork Podcast, contextualizes Ukraine's informal economy with regards to its Soviet history and where its labor movement fits in with its political movements. Lastly, we are following up with the second part of The Legacy of Occupy Wall Street from Dissent magazine's Belabored podcast. Guests Ruth Milkman and Nastaran Mohit continue the conversation on the labor movement's relationship with Occupy and its lasting impacts on social movements today. Highlights from labor radio and podcast shows around the country, part of the national Labor Radio Podcast Network of shows focusing on working people's issues and concerns. #LaborRadioPod @AFLCIO @NYSAFLCIO @DCLabor @SolidarityCntr @TowardsFairWork @DissentMag Edited by Patrick Dixon and Melanie Smith; produced by Chris Garlock; social media guru: Harold Phillips with Mel Smith.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. This week, Dom spends time speaking with those in the know, people who have experienced much of what we're seeing first-hand before, and have fought back in their own ways. This week, Dom is first joined by Denisha Merriweather, Director of Public Relations at the American Federation for Children and Founder of Black Minds Matter. Merriweather joins Readin', Writin', and Reason to discuss a piece she penned in support of school choice for the Washington Examiner. The issue, which has been used as a wedge issue in the realm of political debate on racial topics, is often talked down upon by Democrats and has been eluded to as outright racist. Merriweather explains the benefits that advancing such a political cause would bring to communities of color, and offers why she believes the push against school choice remains consistent. For more from Denisha Merriweather, head to BlackMindsMatter.net. Then, a listener favorite, Simon Campbell returns to Readin', Writin', and Reason for an update on the school board situation in Pennsbury, PA. Campbell, along with other citizens and the Institute for Free Speech, has filed suit against his local school board for overbearing tactics and First Amendment violations by board leaders and their solicitor. Campbell provides an update, and tells what his group hopes to accomplish in bringing the new lawsuit. For more on the lawsuit, head to IFS.org. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Battles are being waged in classrooms across America. Much of it centers around curriculum, practices and policy and sometimes over matters such as political correctness. Sadly, oftentimes students are caught in the crosshairs, being used like pawns on a chessboard.

Battles are being waged in classrooms across America. Much of it centers around curriculum, practices and policy and sometimes over matters such as political correctness. Sadly, oftentimes students are caught in the crosshairs, being used like pawns on a chessboard.

Labor Unions Divided Over Vaccine Mandate The Takeaway turns to Steven Greenhouse, former New York Times labor reporter and the author of “Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present and Future of American Labor,” to talk us through these divisions in labor unions. We also speak with Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, about the division on vaccine mandates that she's seeing among teachers unions across the country.  Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board Recommends Commutation for Julius Jones On Monday, the Oklahoma parole and pardon board heard the commutation hearing of Julius Jones. In a 3-1 vote the board recommended commuting Jones' death sentence to life with the possibility of parole. Jones, who was convicted of the 1999 killing of Paul Howell continues to maintain his innocence. The final decision now goes to Governor Kevin Stitt. Joining us to discuss the long road to this recent decision is Daniel Forkkio, CEO of Represent Justice, an organization that uses the power of the media to engage audiences in reimagining the justice system, and creating real demand for change. Black Homebuyers Are Being Left Out of Pandemic Housing Boom During the pandemic, there's been a massive real estate boom in the U.S., as many people looked to leave crowded cities like New York City for the suburbs. But for Black Americans, the boom has been more like a bust, as they've been priced out of this pandemic-fueled housing frenzy. Housing inequity is nothing new in this country; there's a deep history of discrimination in the housing market against Black Americans. For more on this, The Takeaway spoke to Anne Price, president of the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, professor of African American Studies at Princeton University and author of Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership.  For transcripts, see individual segment pages.

The school year has begun for most people in the United States, but the big question still remains: are the children and faculty safe? Randi Weingarten is President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and she joins us from her Back to School tour to discuss the importance of getting kids back in community at school, but doing so safely. And in states like Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis refuses to administer the $7 billion dollars the state was granted in the American Rescue Plan to schools, that safety is what hangs in the balance. And if you're a parent, who happens to disagree with what your local officials are doing to prevent children from being able to wear masks, Randi has a special request for you as your kids head back to the classroom. *This recording took place just after Hurricane Ida made its way through the Northeast.

Rich Trumka and the 100th anniversary of Battle of Blair MountainIn Segment 1, Cecil Roberts, the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) President, discusses the passing of Rich Trumka, former President of the AFL-CIO. An outspoken advocate for social and economic justice, Trumka was the nation's most straightforward voice on the critical need to ensure that all workers have a good job and the power to determine their wages and working conditions.Roberts also talks about the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest labor uprising in United States history and the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War. According to Roberts, this attack was the first time that an airstrike was called within the continental borders of the United States. The attack was called by the coal companies, which dropped bombs on the marchers.‘Give them a future': Should get first dibs on solar and wind energy jobs?In Segment 2, Cecil Roberts, UMWA president, said that as mining jobs decrease and solar and wind energy jobs rise, miners should be the first to get training for these jobs. He says miners are the ones who are being displaced due to these jobs. President Joe Biden said he wanted to make union jobs for those who are displaced.“We've been resisting that obviously because we think we should protect the jobs we have, but if we're going to have a policy that says coal miners lose their jobs, do what you said you were going to do, create union jobs for those who get displaced,” said Roberts.Roberts also says current union jobs pay between $75,000 and $100,00 per year with great benefits such as healthcare, pension plan, and time off. At this time, solar and wind energy jobs offer only half of those benefits and half the pay.“I'm hearing a lot of talk about creating these solar jobs, but I'm not hearing a talk or discussion about making them union jobs. I want to see how that works. If we're going to displace these coal miners, give them a future,” said Roberts. ‘We're sick of it': Delegate talks about the importance of wearing a mask and getting vaccinated against COVID-19In Segment 3, Delegate Mike Pushkin of Kanawha County is also the President of the American Federation of Musicians Local 136. He talks about the return of Live on the Levee over this summer and how COVID-19 is affecting future events such as sports events.Pushkin emphasizes the importance of wearing a mask and getting vaccinated so these events can continue.“I understand. It's gone on for so long. We're sick of it. We're sick of talking about it, hearing about it, but I'm sick of being sick. I'm sick of seeing the numbers go up. I'm sick of hearing about people I know being hospitalized. We've got to do a better job of explaining the only way we get through it is to get shots,” said Pushkin.As of Sunday, Sept. 5, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice had not issued another mask mandate statewide, but 26 out of 55 counties have mask mandates for schools K-12.“I think it's really going to take some tougher decisions from the top, from the governor's office. The virus doesn't recognize county boundaries. And I think it's going to take some strong leadership and the right direction right now,” said Pushkin. How unions saved West Virginia miners from industrial oppressionIn Segment 4, Myya Helm is a research associate for the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy who helped write their annual report called “Labor, Race, and Solidarity.” Her study showed the division between Black, White and European miners — the immigrants who came in to fill the huge demand for the mining jobs. Helms says that many miners worked in poor conditions because the mine operators wanted to make as much profit as possible. And so in the early 20th century, all workers, black, white, European immigrants, were paid extremely low wages — safety conditions were practically nonexistent, and the conditions worsened when the United Mine Workers of America tried to organize in southern West Virginia…those tactics just further pushed miners to rally against their employers, consistent abuses of authority.” said Helms. According to the report, “Unions promised to abolish the system that held them all as workers in forced labor.” The miners actively challenged the social, economic, and political power held by coal companies. Soon, the state's miner's union grew as workers sought a better life for themselves and their families.

As the pandemic has pushed the country into a debate about when and how to reopen schools, Randi Weingarten has faced the ire of parents, teachers, school boards and — of course — Fox News. The president of the American Federation of Teachers leads a union of 1.7 million educators across the nation. She's been on the hook for pressing to keep school closed last fall and supporting mask mandates in classrooms this year. And most recently, she drew criticism from her own members when she personally endorsed a vaccine mandate and promised to work with states and school boards that are seeking to enact vaccine mandates or vaccinate-or-test requirements for teachers.In this conversation, Kara Swisher presses Weingarten on reopening procedures and the spectacle around mask mandates in states like Florida and Texas. They also discuss the wave of legislation prohibiting teachers from discussing critical race theory in classrooms, and why this former teacher has become a lightning rod for the right.You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

School is back in session—or will be soon—for students across America.

This week Sean & Rachel invite Corey DeAngelis, National Director of Research at the American Federation for Children and the Executive Director at Educational Freedom Institute, to their kitchen table.  Corey explains his idea of school choice: he makes the push for funding students as opposed to funding schools that have been enforcing CRT, mask mandates, and lockdowns. He claims the biggest problem in education is actually the power imbalance between the public-school monopoly, teachers' unions, and individual families.  Follow Rachel on Twitter: @RCamposDuffy  Follow Sean on Twitter: @SeanDuffyWI
