Podcast appearances and mentions of jane mcalevey

An episode all about cognitive dissonance. Ever feel like there are two yous in the same head? The one that cares about the planet, and the one that doesn't act like it does? And that having two yous makes at least one of your yous freak out? You (and you) are not alone. Welcome to cognitive dissonance. As Walt Whitman wrote: you contain multitudes. It's a feature, not a bug, of being alive. Humans, it turns out, are very good at thinking conflicting things at the same time.  This helps us get through the day, but means we're as likely to run away from scary facts we don't like - eg, the state of planet Earth - as to take meaningful action. It's as bad for our politics as it is for getting our heads around climate change. What's to be done? In this episode, Dave chats all things cognitive dissonance and more with the brilliant Sarah Stein Lubrano. Sarah's an author, podcaster and academic whose work is at the intersection of psychology, politics, and cognitive science. Her new book, Don't Talk About Politics: How to change 21st century minds, is out in mid-May. Let me know your thoughts on the show - hello@yourbrainonclimate.com. Please rate, review and subscribe, and share the show on socials. Please consider chucking this humble indie podcaster a few quid at www.patreon.com/yourbrainonclimate. Owl noises = references: 23:52 - Joseph Henrich coined the term WEIRD & wrote a book about it. 32:30 - Excellent article on Kristin Laurin's work studying bans. 42:44 - Deep organising, via the legend that was Jane McAlevey. 49:29 - Google Deepmind founder Mustafa Suleyman's terrifying book, the Coming Wave. 52:35 - critical theory and social pathology.Clips in this episode are from the (er) 1984 film of 1984, starring Robert Burton and John Hurt. The show is hosted and produced by me, Dave Powell, who you can find @powellds on Bluesky and X/Twitter, although I don't use the latter any more.

(Verso, 2024). Con Jaime Caro, traductor, sindicalistas de Tere la Paz y Sindicato de Inquilinas de Madrid. Jane McAlevey inicia este libro tomando como punto de partida la experiencia de 1936, cuando la huelga de Flint transformó el sindicalismo en Estados Unidos. Fue la primera vez que los trabajadores ocuparon una fábrica, evitando que los esquiroles entraran y enfrentándose con éxito a la policía que solía desbaratar la acción colectiva. Ello no solo paralizó la producción, sino que también demostró el poder de lo que define como «trabajador integral»: una persona que tiene vectores e incluso identidades distintas al trabajo, que se mueve en comunidades donde su lucha también se ve plasmada y sostenida.

Could corporate disinformation be quietly steering our perceptions and political actions? Join us as we engage with Grant Ennis, the author of "Dark PR: How Corporate Disinformation Undermines Our Health and the Environment." Ennis sheds light on the sophisticated strategies corporations use to manipulate public narratives and divert attention from crucial political actions. We discuss how framing influences discourse and underscores the significance of organized political movements in driving genuine change, rather than being sidetracked by superficial solutions and the misleading promise of panacea frames.Show Notes:To help support the show, pick up a copy of the book through our Amazon Affiliates page at https://amzn.to/3P5oRS2 or even better, get a copy through your local bookstore!Further Reading: The Big Myth - How American Business Taught Us to Loath Government and Love the Free Market by Naomi Oreskes, No Short Cuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age by Jane McAlevey, If We Burn by Vincent BevinsTo view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/Follow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: What risks do working people face this Labor Day? Workers continue to die on the job and struggle to protect worker safety, but the dangers for labor go beyond bad bosses. On the federal level, the far Right's Project 2025 playbook has plans to gut unions, fire federal workers and limit the power of agencies like the National Labor Relations Board. In this special for Labor Day, Laura Flanders is joined by co-host Maximillian Alvarez, of The Real News Network and James Goodwin, Policy Director at the Center for Progressive Reform. The episode also includes a report from the School of Labor and Urban Studies at the City University in New York on the rise of construction worker deaths in New York City; and an excerpt of “'Death Star' State: The GOP's War on Democracy”, a report from The Real News Networks' Marc Steiner on the Texas effort to overturn workers' rights to mandatory worker water breaks. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on people as policy, and the late union organizer and author Jane McAlevey.“You do not need to be in a union to act like one, even in the most exploitative industries with the most dangerous working conditions. When workers know their rights and band together to exercise them, they can accomplish incredible things and drastically improve their lives.” - Maximillian Alvarez“The disparities between me and my bosses are going to be made even bigger. My coworkers who may not look like me, who may be queer or people of color are going to be fearful to speak out because they don't have recognized civil rights anymore . . . That's the dynamic that Project 2025 is trying to set up . . .” - James GoodwinGuests:• James Goodwin: Policy Director, Center for Progressive Reform• Maximillian Alvarez (Co-host): Editor-in-Chief, The Real News Network; Author, The Work of LivingFull Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.   Laura Flanders and Friends Crew: Laura Flanders, Sabrina Artel, David Neuman, Nat Needham, Rory O'Conner, Janet Hernandez, Sarah Miller, Jeannie Hopper, Nady Pina, Miracle Gatling, and Jordan Flaherty FOLLOW Laura Flanders and FriendsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauraflandersandfriends/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LFAndFriendsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/LauraFlandersAndFriends/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lauraflandersandfriendsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFLRxVeYcB1H7DbuYZQG-lgLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lauraflandersandfriendsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/lauraflandersandfriendsACCESSIBILITY - The broadcast edition of this episode is available with closed captioned by clicking here for our YouTube Channel

Our first installment of our two-week showcase of listener favorites features the late great labor organizer Jane McAlevey. In this July 29, 2017 interview, Jane charts out a course for claiming power in the Trump era - around the bought-off electoral system captured by the rich, and beyond the short-term battles of the online left - towards true power for the American worker, and explains why that path starts with class conciousness and a willingness to battle capital at the point of production.

At some point, we will get tired of hearing news reports on "record heat"—because "heat" will have stopped meaning what it once may have meant.

As extreme heat envelopes large swaths of the United States this summer–in line with predictions that climate scientists have been making for decades–workers face deadly risks.

OSHA introduces new heat standards amid worker deaths, a jusge says ballot drops are back in Wisconsin and the Leauge ofWomen Voters explains the impact, the APWU convention will have a Wisconsin-initated call for a workers' party, the GOP comes to Milwaukee and brings a right-wing platform all laid out, a left coalition makes waves in French elections, and Labor Radio remembers the late Jane McAlevey.

Steven Greenhouse, senior fellow at The Century Foundation, former longtime labor reporter at the New York Times and the author of Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor (Knopf, 2019) discusses the contrast in how Democrats and Republicans (including Project 2025) approach labor, and reflects on the legacy of the late labor organizer Jane McAlevey, who died recently.

On this episode of Start Making Sense, John Nichols on Biden, and David Cole on the Court's big 6-3 decisions. Biden's efforts to renew his candidacy are “risk-averse, uninspired, and dangerously misguided” – that's what John Nichols says, as we review the efforts to persuade him to drop out of the race.Also: During the Supreme Court term that just ended, the conservative majority granted new constitutional rights to hedge fund managers, big business—and Donald Trump. David Cole explains the shocking decisions that have transformed our government.Finally, Jane McAlevey died Sunday--she was The Nation's strikes correspondent, and one of our best.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jane McAlevey was an exceptional organizer and thinker, and her death on July 7th leaves a gaping hole for the left. She dedicated her life to building working class power, in the trenches of the environmental and labor movements and as a radical scholar. McAlevey believed that the left and labor movement abandoned deep organizing in the 1970s, in favor of shallow mobilization and even shallower advocacy. But she insisted that the tide could be turned. Resources: Jane F. McAlevey, No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age Oxford University Press, 2016 Who Rules America?

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Brad Onishi, writer, co-host of the Straight White American Jesus podcast, and founder of Axis Mundi Media, to discuss his recent book Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism – And What Comes Next. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Biden's tight grasp on his candidacy, major defeats for the right wing in the UK and France, Iran's presidential election, the Lancet report on Gaza's 180k+ death toll, ceasefire negotiations, Project 2025, anti-administrative attacks on trans care, Boeing's plea deal, and the passing of Jane McAlevey, before diving a little deeper into the ongoing conversation about the future of Biden's candidacy. Brad Onishi then joins, diving right into the pivotal moment of the 1960s-70s social and electoral movements – from Civil Rights to the ERA – that brought the aggrievement of the “religious right” in the US back to the fore, and saw the return of a true Christian Nationalist movement in US politics. Stepping back, Onishi looks at his roots in the birthplace of this US Conservative Christian movement – Orange County, California – and the major role this county played in offering an escape for southern and midwestern “implants” from “urban diversity” (Black people), as myriad conservative-driven industries boomed in post-WWII SoCal. Expanding on this era's particular distillation of Christian Nationalism, Brad walks Sam and Emma through the proliferation of America-first rhetoric in the burgeoning Mega Church and Evangelical communities, with hyper-Americanism and theocratic rule fusing in a cogenerative movement to reclaim the country from “fake” Americans that could not be trusted with socio-political power, a perspective deeply ingrained in the modern day conservative movement. After expanding on the contemporary manifestation of this movement's proliferation (Donald Trump, Jan 6th, the overturn of Roe v. Wade, etc), Onishi wraps up by expanding on his connection to this movement, what we can learn from much of his community's escape-from-evangelism, how to organize the left against this threat, and the role traditional catholicism plays as a guiding force for this movement. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Sam watch NC Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson speak in front of the cross about the innate American desire to kill some folks, parse through the unsurprising yet wildly devastating Lancet report on the drastic undercount of deaths in Gaza, and unpack Hamas' acquiescence to a temporary ceasefire. They also expand on the conversation about Biden's future, including CNN's recent report on Biden's underperforming polling, and where it leaves other electoral races, before watching Dave Rubin build up his expectations for the conservative contagion's performance in Europe before it all comes crashing down in front of him, plus, your calls and IMs!

We'll talk about organizing and labor's future with New Yorker writer Eleni Schirmer who thinks labor guru Jane McAlevey has transformed the labor movement and then with former ILWU organizing […] The post Can Labor Seize the Movement Moment? – and – How Jane McAlevy Transformed the Labor Movement appeared first on KKFI.

In this episode we examine the recent threatened strike and massive contract victory of the Teamsters as that union took on UPS, the nation's largest unionized private sector employer. In September 2023, Teamsters President Sean O'Brien spoke about the strike weapon and labor's resurgence at a large public forum hosted by the School of Labor and Urban Studies. Following his talk, he engaged with a panel of prominent labor activists and scholars. We feature highlights from O'Brien's keynote address and his animated exchange with one of those panelists, the labor organizer and scholar Jane McAlevey.

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with author and labor organizer Jane McAlevey about the UAW's recent progress in obtaining tentative agreements with the Big Three automakers, as well as the state of U.S. labor organizing writ large. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel's bombing of Gazan refugee camps, international backlash to Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing, more GOP infighting, labor action, Trump's legal cases, a suit against realtors, Biden's student loan program, and the continued need for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, before touching on Wolf Blitzer's astonishment as he interviews an unapologetic IDF spokesperson on the recent bombing of refugee camp in Gaza. Jane McAlevey then joins, walking through her insider perspective on the evolution of the labor movement over the last three decades, with the Chicago Teachers Union's election of Karen Lewis in 2010 marking a major turning point in the raising of worker expectations across the US, planting the seeds for a renaissance of worker action over the next decade, before the Pandemic slammed a brief lid on growing discontent, ramping up the pressure on the working class and resulting in the post-COVID explosion of labor action across the US. Next, McAlevey focuses in on the UAW's particular journey over the last decade, beginning with an assist from the DOJ with an investigation into the corruption of UAW leadership forcing the union structure's hand in holding a direct election of the next union president, a choice that – when joined with low voter turnout – saw the election of Shawn Fain (despite extended pushback from remaining leadership). Moving into the era of Fain, McAlevey explores what we can learn from the UAW's incredible militancy, and addresses the biggest errors she sees facing modern unionization attempts, before she, Sam, and Emma assess the rulings coming out of the NLRB, and the valuable (but limited) impact they can have. McAlevey also tackles both what the UAW's strike won, and why that victory was so important, before wrapping up with what's on the horizon for labor organizing in the US. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma talk about AI and copyright, watch the footage of Code Pink's protest of Blinken, and address the absurd and enraging conflation of anti-zionism and anti-semitism. The MR crew also shares some bigfoot stories, watch Mike Johnson and Tulsi Gabbard present their bigotry on Fox, and Joe Rogan and Elon Musk invent a perpetual smoke-blowing machine. Plus, your IMs!

They say "don't meet your heroes" but thankfully that isn't always true. Jane McAlevey is one of those people who would call "bullshit" on people calling her a hero - but I'm an Australian - so I say bullshit back.Jane is a fighter - and this conversation with her recorded in 2021 demonstrates that. Jane has taught us many of the rules about how to fight and how to win. Jane is not well (see this piece in the New Yorker) - but she is still fighting. Not just for her health but for the welfare and rights of workers across the US and beyond.We - I - wanted to celebrate all she has done and the lessons she has offered. She has influenced how I think, how I organise and more importantly - her guidance has gifted the world clear lessons in union organising that are working to improve lives all over the place.Jane has a new book out - Rules to Win (more information is HERE). Irrespective of whether you have not heard of her or if you know her well - take a listen and go read that book. Let her spiky wisdom ring in your ears.- Amanda TattersallPhoto credit - Alice Attie.Jane's website with information on all her work is here - https://janemcalevey.com/For more on ChangeMakers - check us out at https://changemakerspodcast.org/, or Twitter at @changemakers99 or @amandatatts.

  Sam and Emma host Jane McAlevey, Senior Policy Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley's Labor Center, to discuss her recent book Rules to Win By: Power and Participation in Union Negotiations. They begin by running through updates on the WGA strike, an impending airline strike, the fascist attacks on Zooey Zephyr, fascist attacks on healthcare in Oklahoma and Florida, Vice Media's impending bankruptcy, and the Rangers' devastating loss last night, before parsing through the Senate Judiciary hearing on the Supreme Court's ethics issues. Jane McAlevey then joins as she walks Sam and Emma through her experiences working in, and writing about the labor organizing process, from her time with the AFL-CIO in the ‘90s through her multiple texts that attempt to address the disconnect between labor mobilization and labor organizing, and understanding organizing as community outreach rather than focusing on those already aligned with your goals. Next, McAlevey dives into the challenges of the unionization process, with union-busting remaining prevalent well after a successful vote and throughout the bargaining processes, the importance of having community support and solidarity to bolster the long and draining battle, and the networks community organizing can create. She also looks to the case studies that she explores in her books, tackling the importance of building on worker knowledge and transparency in the bargaining process, and before they wrap up the interview by walking through the recent renaissance of labor consciousness in the US, the importance of youth labor activists, the future of labor action, and why capitalists want more of the gig economy. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive a little deeper into the WGA strike and the impact of the streaming era on labor compensation, Nancy Mace's stance on Ron DeSantis' Florida abortion ban, Rudy Giuliani giving away the game on legal disenfranchisement, and Fox's post-woke fantasies of the future for Elon's Twitter. Dr. Matthew from the University of Texas walks through his presidential fantasies, Emma grapples with the Rangers' playoff exit, and the MR Crew tackles the absurdity of the streaming era, plus, your calls and IMs!
