Podcast appearances and mentions of jacob morrison

The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee break down the Conway Regional. Topics include: Coastal Carolina was the country's best team from outside the Power 4, with MLB catching prospect Caden Bodine and Blake Barthol (12 HR, 12 SB) part of an offense that stole 99 bases and hit 56 home runs. The Chanticleers can pitch with anyone thanks to a starting trio of Jacob Morrison, Cameron Flukey and Riley Eikhoff, a bullpen of Matthew Potok , Dominic Carbine and Ryan Lunch and confidence that comes from a 48-11 record. Florida was as hot as any team in the country over the last six weeks. The Gators are led by a pair of premium MLB pitching prospects in Liam Peterson and Aidan King and a host of other talented arms like Jake Clemente, Pierce Coppola and Luke McNeillie. The Gators survived serious injures to a number of star players thanks to standout offensive performances from infielder Bobby Boser (16 HR) and Brody Donay (17), star freshman first baseman Brendan Lawson (nine). No one prepares his team better for the postseason than coach Kevin O'Sulllivan; can the Gators work some postseason magic again? Coach Cliff Godwin's East Carolina squad needed to win the American Athletic tournament to get here. The Pirates, a perennial mid-major powerhouse, are led by lefty slugger Dixon Williams (13 HR) and pin their pitching hopes on lefty Ethan Norby. Fourth-seeded Fairfield got here by winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic conference tournament and is 39-17 entering the regional. Fairfield had 14-homer seasons from Luke Nomura and Matthew Bucciero to lead its offense. The Stags got great starting pitching from Ben Allison and Bowen Baker and will need more of it against a loaded field.

Two months ago, from April 17-21, workers and labor organizers of all stripes convened in Chicago for the bi-annual Labor Notes conference, which overlapped with the Railroad Workers United convention. As the registration website rightly noted, “Labor Notes Conferences are the biggest gatherings of grassroots labor activists, union reformers, and all-around troublemakers out there." This is not a buttoned up convention of union officials; this is a real grassroots gathering of people on the frontlines of struggle, talking openly, honestly, and strategically about their struggles, victories, and defeats, about what we can all learn from one another as fellow workers and fighters, and about how we can all contribute to growing the labor movement as fellow members of that movement. In this on-the-ground episode, cohosted by Max and Mel Buer, we speak with attendees at the RWU convention, Labor Notes, and participants in the Labor for Palestine protest that took place outside of Labor Notes on April 19.Speakers include: Johnny Walker, a railroad worker and member of the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation Workers—Transportation Division (SMART-TD) Local 610 in Baltimore; Matt Weaver, who has worked on the railroad since 1994, is a member of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees (BMWED-IBT) Local 2624, where he also serves as legislative director for his state; Marcie Pedraza, an electrician at Ford Chicago Assembly Plant and member of United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 551; Jacob Morrison, a member of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), president of the North Alabama Labor Council, and cohost of The Valley Labor Report; Leticia Zavala, legendary farm labor organizer working with farm workers in Mexico and the United States, and a member of El Futuro Es Nuestro (It's Our Future), a farmworker caucus within the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC, AFL-CIO); Colin Smalley, president of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE) Local 777 in Chicago; Berenice Navarrete-Perez, vice president of the Association of Legislative Employees (ALE); Annie Shields, former journalist and union organizer with the NewsGuild of New York; and Axel Persson, a locomotive engineer in France and general secretary of the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) Railway Workers Union in Trappes.Additional links/info below…Labor Notes website, Facebook page, and Twitter/X pageRailroad Workers United website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageEl Futuro Es Nuestro – It's Our Future website and Facebook pageLabor for Palestine websiteThe Valley Labor Report YouTube channel, Facebook page, Twitter/X page, and PatreonDuncan Freeman, The Chief Leader: "At Labor Notes conference, a sense of mission and solidarity"Axel Persson, ML Today, "CGT leader speaks to Labor Notes conference"Martha Grevatt, Workers World, "Militant pro-Palestine demonstration during Labor Notes conference takes the street"Permanent links below...Leave us a voicemail and we might play it on the show!Labor Radio / Podcast Network website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageIn These Times website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageThe Real News Network website, YouTube channel, podcast feeds, Facebook page, and Twitter pageFeatured Music...Jules Taylor, "Working People" Theme SongRead the transcript of this podcast here. Studio Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Mel BuerPost-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

24 hours after Max returned to Baltimore from East Palestine, Ohio, the shipping vessel Dali slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing it into the Patapsco River.

In this interview on The Valley Labor Report, Alabama's only weekly union talk show, hosts Jacob Morrison and Adam Keller speak with Max about The Real News Network's coverage of the bridge collapse, the connections between Baltimore and East Palestine, and about the conspiracists and "anti-woke" grifters who are trying to capitalize on this tragedy for their own gain.

A group of current and former prisoners have sued the state of Alabama with the support of two unions who have signed on as co-plaintiffs, the Union of Southern Service Workers, and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. The lawsuit claims that Alabama's system of prison labor amounts to a "modern-day form of slavery" that generates massive profits for private businesses and revenues for the state by forcing incarcerated people to work for little or no pay. Jacob Morrison and Adam Keller join Rattling the Bars to discuss the lawsuit and the importance of the fight for prisoners' rights to the overall labor movement.Jacob Morrison is a member of the American Federation of Government Employees, and the president of the North Alabama Labor Council. Adam Keller is a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees Local 900. Together, they host The Valley Labor Report, Alabama's only union radio talk show.Studio / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-rtbSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-rtbLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.
