Let's get grim and dark with Lord Grimdark!   Perhaps the greatest benefit of having a book podcast like mine is the opportunity to speak to my very favourite authors. I've been reading Joe Abercrombie's violent, world-weary dark fantasy for TWENTY years! And now he's on the show.   Consider me excited.   His new book may be called The Devils, and it may contain werewolves, vampires, necromancers and oceans of blood – but it's quite a cheery affair for Joe. I have never laughed so much in preparation for an interview.   We talk writing the most anti of antiheroes, gender-flipping the catholic church, and why you shouldn't sleep with people who own swords.   It's a lot of fun.   Enjoy!   Other books mentioned:   A Game of Thrones (1996), by George R. R. Martin Wizard of Earthsea (1968), by Usula K. Le Guin LA Confidential (1990) by James Ellroy Blood Meridian (1995), by Cormac McCarthy   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Bluesky @talkscaredpod.bsky.social  on Instagram/Threads, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Leslie is joined by Jesse Case, Director for the Food Processing Division for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The two examine why so many cannabis workers are joining the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. To add some perspective, the Teamsters represent over 1,000 cannabis workers in six different states. They've also bargained the strongest contracts in the industry for workers at a number of multi-state operators, which are the largest players in the US cannabis industry. Tens of thousands of Teamsters across the continent are members of the union's growing Food Processing Division. The division represents many classifications of worker, including production line workers, mechanics, forklift drivers, machine operators and more. They help prepare, process and move just about every kind of food you find at the grocery store, including meats, dairy vegetables, fruits and grains. Visit www.Teamster.org for more information.

Leslie is joined by Sean O'Brien, General President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. They begin the interview by acknowledging the accomplishments that President O'Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman have helped their Union to achieve during their three years heading the organization. With 80,000 new members organized, great successes at the negotiating table including many of their best contracts ever like at UPS and Anheuser-Busch, an empowered rank-and-file membership that has waged over 250 strikes and led bargaining themselves against some of the world's largest employers, the O'Brien-Zuckerman administration has charted one of the most defining and positive chapters in Teamsters history. Next, Sean shares with the audience the Union's contract campaign with their 10,000 Teamsters aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs). They're fighting for a fair contract with United, who raked in over $4 billion dollars in profits last year, but is lowballing the Teamsters at the bargaining table. At the same time, the airline wants to outsource maintenance to communist China and South America. Sean explains how United Airlines Teamsters are ensuring safety in the skies, and that Teamster members will not accept anything less than a strong new contract with the industry-leading wages and job protections they have earned. Lastly, Leslie and Sean discuss how, following a credible strike threat, more than 1,000 newly organized drivers and warehouse workers at United Natural Foods Inc. (UNFI) in Florida, Georgia, and Illinois have ratified their first Teamsters contracts. Represented by Teamsters Locals 26, 79, 728, and 769, UNFI workers have secured agreements that deliver significant wage increases, improved benefits, and a defined benefit pension plan.  Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.

First, do no parm. Let's face it — we love our classic Italian-American restaurants for their complete lack of restraint. No judgments, of course, but let's say you were trying to shed a few pounds for summer — you don't have to refuse the next offer of dinner at your favorite red sauce local, the experts say. You just have to look at the menu in a new way — and follow a whole new set of rules according to dietitians Melissa Rifkin and Kelsey Hampton Abdullah, writing for Eat This, Not That! In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters said workers at seven Amazon facilities will begin a strike, an effort by the union to pressure the e-commerce company for a labor agreement during a key shopping period. A former top aide to Mayor Adams is expected in court to face corruption charges in the latest blow to an administration beset by searches, resignations and the mayor's own indictment. And in Washington, President-elect Donald Trump delivered a likely death blow to bipartisan congressional budget negotiations, rejecting the measure as full of giveaways to Democrats after billionaire ally Elon Musk whipped up outrage toward the bill and cheered on Republican lawmakers who announced their opposition.

Steve Kopesky and Ted Rubinstein on Jimmy Hoffa - part 2YesterdaySteve Kopesky and Ted Rubinstein return with more on the fascinating life of Jimmy Hoffa.Jimmy Hoffa (born February 14, 1913, Brazil, Indiana, U.S.—disappeared July 30, 1975, Bloomfield Hills, near Detroit, Michigan) was an American labour leader who served as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from 1957 to 1971 and was one of the most controversial labour organizers of his time.The son of an Indiana coal miner who died when Hoffa was seven, Hoffa moved with his family to Detroit in 1924. He left school at age 14, worked as a stock boy and warehouseman for several years, and began his union-organizing activities in the 1930s. Initially the business agent for Local 299 in Detroit, Hoffa by 1940 had become chairman of the Central States Drivers Council and by 1942 president of the Michigan Conference of Teamsters. In 1952 he was elected an international vice president of the Teamsters, and five years later he succeeded Dave Beck as international president.Known throughout the trucking industry as a tough and knowledgeable bargainer, Hoffa successfully centralized administration and bargaining in the international office of the union. He also played a key role in the creation of the first national freight-hauling agreement. His efforts helped make the Teamsters the largest labour union in the United States.Known to have long associated with organized crime figures, Hoffa nevertheless survived a series of governmental prosecutions until 1967, when he entered the federal prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to begin a 13-year sentence for jury tampering, fraud, and conspiracy. Hoffa refused to resign as president of the Teamsters while in prison and kept his position until 1971. U.S. Pres. Richard M. Nixon commuted Hoffa's sentence in December 1971, stipulating that he could not engage in any union activity until 1980. Hoffa, however, fought the restriction in court and was widely believed to have covertly continued his efforts to reestablish a union position.On July 30, 1975, he disappeared from a restaurant in suburban Detroit under circumstances that have never been fully determined. He was said to have had an appointment at the restaurant with Anthony Provenzano, a New Jersey Teamsters official and former Mafia figure, and Anthony Giacalone, a Detroit mobster; both later denied having encountered Hoffa, who was never seen again. He was legally declared “presumed dead” in 1982.Tags#hoffa#kennedy#mccarthyhearings#teamsters#truecrine#vanishedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are working hard to earn the support of a key voting bloc this election: union voters. While most major unions have kept up the tradition of backing Democrats by endorsing Harris, two of the country's biggest unions — the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Fire Fighters — opted not to endorse either candidate, citing internal divisions among their ranks. April Verrett, president of the Service Employees International Union, joins us to talk about why her union endorsed Harris, and what's driving divisions within unions.And in headlines: Georgia's Republican secretary of state says local officials are prepared to fight election misinformation, A Nevada man says he'll sue a California county sheriff who accused him of plotting to assassinate Trump, and NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft is on its way to Jupiter's ocean moon.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Haley Strack of National Review reports: “Republicans on the House Oversight Committee launched an investigation on Wednesday to determine if the Biden administration misused taxpayer dollars to fly Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the U.S. to benefit Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. In letters to top Biden administration officials, committee chairman James Comer wrote that then-president Donald Trump faced similar accusations from Democrats in 2019 of trying to use Zelensky to benefit is campaign ‘despite a lack of any evidence of wrongdoing. Now, the Biden-Harris Administration is flying the same foreign leader on an American-taxpayer-funded flight to Pennsylvania, a battleground state for Harris's campaign,' Comer wrote.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-investigating-if-zelensky-trip-scheduled-to-benefit-kamala-harris-campaign/ 4:50pm- Union Members in Pennsylvania Prefer Trump.

Jones of The Philadelphia Inquirer writes: “While the Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, the union's members who participated in an electronic survey overwhelmingly favored former President Donald Trump, according to data released by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Of Pennsylvania teamsters who participated in the informal survey, administered by BallotPoint Election Services from July 24 through Sept. 15, more than 65% supported endorsing Trump, compared with more than 31% who preferred Harris. This hews closely to the national results, which showed 60% of Teamsters choosing Trump, with 34% picking Harris.” You can read the full article here: https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/international-brotherhood-teamsters-polling-data-trump-20240924.html

As labor secretary I projected in June 2020 that the unemployment rate—which had reached 14.7% in April—could drop below 10% by year's end. That was considered highly optimistic. Not optimistic enough, it turned out. Unemployment in December 2020 was 6.7%. By the time Mr. Biden signed his American Rescue Plan in March 2021, unemployment had dropped to 6.1%. By contrast, unemployment was above 8% for nearly all of Mr. Obama's first term, and didn't drop to 6.1% until he'd been in office more than five years. No one heard Messrs. Obama and Biden decrying the high unemployment rate when they ran for re-election in 2012.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-economy-was-roaring-when-biden-took-office-trump-admin-jobs-growth-93727f7c?mod=opinion_lead_pos8

Eleven of 12 Fed voters backed the cut, which will bring the benchmark federal-funds rate to a range between 4.75% and 5%. Quarterly projections released Wednesday showed a narrow majority of officials penciled in cuts that would lower rates by at least a quarter point each at meetings in November and December.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/fed-cuts-rates-by-half-percentage-point-03566d82 4:20pm- While speaking to the press after announcing a 0.50% interest rate cut, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said: “The U.S. economy is in a good place and our decision today is designed to keep it there.” Though, he stopped short of saying the Fed was ready to declare victory over inflation. 4:30pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to the Federal Reserve slashing interest rates right before the presidential election. Was it done for political reasons?
