It's Asian Heritage Month in Canada – and this month, we're very excited to bring you a two-part discussion on the history of Asian labour in Canada.  This week's episode is a continuation from last week's conversation in which rabble labour reporter Kiah Lucero, and Patricia Chong and Karine Ng from the Ontario and BC branches of the Asian Canadian Labour Alliance discussed the history of the Alliance; key moments of Asian labour in Canada; and how racism, systemic discrimination, and “othering” still shows up in Canada today.  Today, we continue that discussion and dig into the concept of a “model minority,” what it means to be an immigrant on stolen land, and how all racial justice fights are intertwined.  About our guests  The Asian Canadian Labour Alliance (ACLA) is a national organization that represents the voice of Asian Canadian trade union members, Asian Canadian workers and the Asian community at large. Through educational events, organizing and strike support, the ACLA hopes to establish a wide network of labour and community activists in Canada. Patricia Chong holds a MA in Labour Studies from McMaster University and a Masters in Labour Policies and Globalisation from the Global Labour University (Germany). She is a short documentary film maker and a member of the Asian Canadian Labour Alliance Ontario Chapter. She has worked as an organizer for both public and private sector unions and has successfully unionized workers in Ontario, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the Yukon. 吳珏穎 Karine Ng (she/her) is an immigrant-settler on Turtle Island, a spore blown across the Pacific from then British colonized Hong Kong, with ancestral roots in what is known today as China. Her work is anchored in education, spanning across diverse ages and socio-cultural settings in the ancestral lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and the Tseil-Waututh people and elsewhere.  For additional information on the organizations mentioned please visit:  ACLA Ontario  Canadian Sikh Heritage  Challenging Racist “British Columbia”: 150 Years and Counting Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC Chinese Canadian Museum Coalition of Black Trade Unionists  For reading and watching materials:  Addressing Anti-Asian Racism: A Resource for Educators A Resource for Educators White Riot: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver Toronto Solidarity Rally Against Anti-Asian Racism (2021)  More about Emmie Tsumura, the artist who worked on the Asian Canadian Labour History banners Asian Heritage Month designs Follow her on Instagram here  If you like the show please consider subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts.

The Bill Kelly Podcast w/ Shiona Thompson: While a new tentative deal many have been reached between the two sides involved in a labour dispute impacting thousands of B.C. port workers, experts say Canada may not have seen the last of strikes this year. From the B.C. port strike to the recent Greater Toronto Area Metro workers' strike to the writers' strike in the U.S., rising costs of living, high corporate profits and dissatisfaction among workers may all be contributing to collective action across sectors. GUEST: Dr. Simon Black, Associate Professor of Labour Studies with Brock University - The National Institutes of Health is beginning a handful of studies to test possible treatments for long COVID, an anxiously awaited step in U.S. efforts against the mysterious condition that afflicts millions. Monday's announcement from the NIH's US$1.15 billion RECOVER project comes amid frustration from patients who've struggled for months or even years with sometimes-disabling health problems — with no proven treatments and only a smattering of rigorous studies to test potential ones. GUEST: Dr. Dawn Bowdish, Professor in the Department of Medicine with McMaster University and the Executive Director of the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health - Will there be an influx of reality TV because of the writers/actors strike? GUEST: Bill Brioux, television critic and author

Guest host Chelsea Bird discusses: The summer of strikes - what is causing an uptick of labour action in Canada? Guest: Charles Smith, president of the Canadian Association for Work and Labour Studies and associate professor of political science at St. Thomas More College, University of Saskatchewan After a U.S. senator questions Canada, do we need to re-think our defense spending? Guest: Rob Huebert, associate professor, Department of Political Science, University of Calgary and senior fellow, Macdonald-Laurier Institute Is “global boiling” here to stay as extreme heat is felt around the world? What does this mean for Canada? Guest: John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas A&M climatology professor and Texas state climatologist How seriously should we take alien spacecraft recovery claims in the US? Guest: David Shorter, Professor, World Arts and Cultures, UCLA A Calgary medical clinic charging fees for faster doctor access sparks outcry over two-tiered healthcare systems in Canada Guest: Lorian Hardcastle, University of Calgary associate professor in the Faculty of Law and the Cumming School of Medicine The dangerously popular and confusing Borax challenge Guest: Nathan Kilah, Senior Lecturer in Chemistry, University of Tasmania

Since the last covid lockdowns ended in 2021, barely a month has passed without major job actions—union drives at huge companies, or massive strikes in the public or private sectors—making headlines. If you look at the numbers, we're seeing the kind of labour push we haven't seen in decades. From Hollywood's writers and actors, Canada's federal government workers, Ontario's education support staff and BC's port workers, employees from all over are fighting for what they see as long overdue gains.Why is now the time, and will this moment last? Is this the return of a militant workforce ready to withhold their labour? A true generational shift? Or a brief moment that will be met with ferocity from employers trying to regain the upper hand?GUEST: Dr. Stephanie Ross, associate professor in the School of Labour Studies at McMaster University

This is the 2nd episode of the Brick by Brick series. This series was launched due to the positive reaction to the construction series. We will be interviewing a range of people from the industry and will be discussing a range of topics such as the state of mental health in the industry.Australia loses one construction worker every two days to suicide & more than 20% of the construction industry are shown to have had a mental health condition. These figures are made even more compelling as it is an industry that employs 10% of the working population. We feel this podcast will play an important role in creating conversations and awareness. Our goal is to change the construction industry, one conversation at time....Jorgen is a plumber and suicidologist. He is a suicide survivor and have lived experience of mental illness. Starting work 15 as an apprentice plumber in Denmark he experienced a period of mental ill-health ultimately influencing his decision to migrate to Australia at an age of 23. He served as an official of the Plumbers union for 13 years whereof 6 years was as Queensland State Secretary and National Assistant Secretary. In 2007 he became the founding CEO of MATES in Construction. He holds a Master Degree Suicidology, A Diploma in Social and Community Development, an Associate Diploma in Labour Studies. ...A huge thank you to our sponsor Lendlease for all of the work they are doing in mental health. They have a holistic approach to health & wellbeing, and continue to grow their focus around mental health. They know that employees are likely to experience higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression if they work in the construction sector. In Australia, construction workers are six times more likely to die by suicide than a workplace incident. Looking after the physical and mental health of our people is a significant part of the Lendlease culture. In support of this, Lendlease introduced wellbeing leave in 2015 – giving all employees one day every four months to attend to health & wellbeing related needs.

Labour tensions have been high in Ontario, after Doug Ford's government brought in a bill that imposed a contract on education workers and banned them from going on strike, invoking the notwithstanding clause in the process. That didn't prevent schools in much of the province from shutting down for two days and Ford subsequently backed down, promised to repeal the legislation and is back at the negotiating table.This comes only a few months since the Ontario PCs made inroads among working class voters in the June provincial election. Have those bridges with labour been burnt?To discuss the latest news from Queen's Park, as well as what is going on with the Ontario Liberal and NDP leadership races, I'm joined today by Sabrina Nanji of Queen's Park Observer and Larry Savage, professor in the department of Labour Studies at Brock University.As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this discussion on YouTube.

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Lucio Baccaro economista e Gloria Origgi filosofaL'intervista è nel podcast Contemporaneamente a cura di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà.Con Lucio Baccaro e Gloria Origgi parliamo di economia politica e filosofia, lavoro, denaro, umano e web; valori cruciali per l'umanità del terzo millennio. Parliamo del rapporto tra declino dei sindacati e aumento dei lavori precari, e del design tecnico dei social che non favorisce il dialogo ma la polarizzazione attraverso algoritmi che accentrano l'informazione. L'Italia esprime una scarsa domanda di lavoro qualificato, con lo sviluppo dei robot i lavori avranno maggiore intensità di competenze. L'attuale forma del web non è il suo destino. L'evoluzione tecnologica, monopolizzata dal capitalismo per massimizzare profitti, si arresta sulle contrapposizioni sociali. E ancora, la reputazione è capitale simbolico sul web riacquista importanza e fragilità perché con il tramite delle tecnologie spesso confondiamo popolarità con autorità. Per riequilibrare disponibilità di fondi tra quotidianità e guerre o pandemie, bisogna considerare che le risorse sono concentrate nelle mani dello 0,1% del top delle élite.

Guest: Larry Savage, professor of Labour Studies at Brock University With organizing efforts underway at Starbucks, Amazon, Apple and many more employers, unions and the labour movement are having a moment. Unions are fighting for higher wages and benefits for workers as workplaces try to return to normal after COVID-19 and sky high inflation makes for a higher cost of living. With a tight job market, workers should have some leverage but as economic signs point toward things like a recession, the actions of the unions and the labour movement could become even more important for workers.

The director of the SFU Labour Studies program, Kendra Strauss, joins Am Johal in a conversation about systemic challenges facing workers, and the ways in which workers shape economies and exercise power in the workplace. Honing in on issues of precarious work, low wages, technological change, contracting out, and the devaluing of feminized work like care work, Am and Kendra discuss trends in labour studies and how they impact migrant and racialized workers. Kendra also speaks to how labour studies as a discipline can work in-step with labour organizers and workers to strive towards a just transition, to create better, more secure jobs, and to address social issues that affect all workers.

A transnational labour scholar, co-founder of Justicia for Migrant Workers, and assistant professor from SFU's Labour Studies Program, Evelyn Encalada Grez joins this episode of Women, Work, More to speak about migrant women and their experiences of transnational loving. Evelyn explores the pains that accompany migration, from separating families to the often temporary loves that migrant women find while working within Canada. Despite these pains, Evelyn speaks about the forms of agency that migrant women enact throughout their migration — that often revolves around reasserting their power over their bodies and sexualities. As the episode continues, Evelyns speaks about her past projects that have aided in re-empowering migrant workers and migrant women within their migration. She also shares the changes that need to be made to undo the exploitation inherent within temporary labour migration programs. Throughout the episode we hear quotes from migrant women whom Evelyn has encountered and interviewed as part of her research. These quotes came from Evelyn's transcribed interviews and are voiced by readers in both English and Spanish. These do not feature the voices of the migrant women who initially spoke these words in order to maintain their anonymity.

Historian-activists Kassandra Luciuk and Saku Pinta join us to discuss the "hall socialism" that flourished in communities of Finnish and Ukrainian migrant workers in the early 20th century. Though much of this incredibly vital social, political and cultural activity was successfully suppressed by anti-communist purges in the post-war period, the legacy and lessons of these networks lives on. About our guests: -- Kassandra Luciuk is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at the University of Toronto. She is broadly interested in the history of Ukrainians in Canada. Her dissertation uses the community as a case study to investigate how anti-communism was entrenched in Canadian political consciousness throughout the twentieth century. Kassandra has also written several books and articles on the internment operations of the First World War. Most notably, she is the author of a graphic novel, Enemy Alien: A True Story of Life Behind Barbed Wire, which was published with Between the Lines. Kassandra's most recent article, “More Dangerous Than Many a Pamphlet or Propaganda Book: The Ukrainian Canadian Left, Theatre, and Propaganda in the 1920s,” was awarded the Jean-Marie Fecteau Prize from the Canadian Historical Association. -- Dr. Saku Pinta holds the Errol Black Chair in Labour Issues at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and occassionally works as a researcher and lecturer in the Department of Labour Studies at the University of Manitoba. As an independent scholar, his research is focused on two areas: the intersections between anarchisms and Marxisms and the history of the Finnish North American left and the membership of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) union in the twentieth century. Pinta is a co-editor and contributor to Libertarian Socialism: Politics in Black and Red (PM Press, 2017) and his essays appear in the anthologies Anarchist Pedagogies: Collective Actions, Theories, and Critical Reflections on Education (PM Press, 2012) and Wobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW (Pluto Press, 2017).

In this episode we bust open the troll inspired myth that Marwa Elselehdar, the recent first female appointed sea captain in Egypt was NOT responsible for the Ever Given damn jam in our Patriarchy Alive and Well segment and then we are chatting with Jelena Vermilion from the Sex Workers Action Network (SWAN) Waterloo Region about their work within the Charter Challenge to the majority of sex work laws in Bill C-36. This is important work to ensure that women and gender diverse folks working in sex work receive the support and protection they need to stay safe in their work. All about Jelena: Jelena Vermilion (she/her) is a trans-femme full-service sex worker, porn performer, and activist of almost a decade, who lives with disabilities.

Donate to the show: https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=7353597 This is part 2 of my discussion with Dr. Stephanie Ross, associate professor and director of the School of Labour Studies at McMaster University. She is author, co-author and co-editor of several works on Canadian labour and unions, including Building a Better World: An Introduction to the Labour Movement in Canada (Fernwood, 2015) and Labour Under Attack Anti-Unionism in Canada (Fernwood, 2018). In this second part of the interview, we talk about life within unions in more detail, especially about the inequalities that unions sometimes reproduce while trying to protect workers' interests. Seniority is an example of this, a principle that guides layoffs, pay, promotion, etc. Seniority is key to disrupting the bosses' power to arbitrarily dismiss employees, but it also disproportionately impacts younger workers who are the least able to shoulder the costs of layoffs. And as a couple of professors, we can't help but talk about the crazily unequal workplace that is the contemporary university, where faculty unions have tolerated or accepted differential tiers of employment—the famous distinction between tenured faculty and sessional/adjunct faculty. It's a corrosive situation that undermines worker solidarity. This is episode 10 of Sweater Weather with Aaron Giovannone.

More than 100 million Indians have lost their jobs since the national lockdown was enforced in March. However, even before the pandemic, there were fault lines in India's labour force: unemployment was at a 45-year high, youth were unable to find quality jobs, and the labour force continued to be stubbornly informal. Prof. Santosh Mehrotra, head of the Center for Informal Sector and Labour Studies at JNU and a former Planning Commission member, joins us today to analyze the labour crises during and before COVID19 and how policymakers should resolve them. What's the near term outlook for jobs? How should the government address labour laws to boost investment and hiring? How can more formal and good quality jobs be introduced? Are an urban MGNREGA and minimum income guarantee potential solutions in mitigating the economic effects of the pandemic? These are just some of the far-reaching questions we address in our comprehensive review of India's labour situation. Music by Sonto & Village Polka.

Good Stuff  Share about your path to getting into the mortgage business.  How did you transition from MCAP to brokering? How was your first year of brokering?  In my first year, I made $8,000.  My connections and relationships led me to different jobs over time, bringing me to where I am today.  What's your reasoning for moving away from a real estate office?  It was time to move on; 7/10 deals were coming from outside the offices.  Where are a lot of your clients coming from?  If there's one thing I could change about my business, it would be database management. As your volume levels grow, you need to be able to delegate and trust others with the work. The 7/10 deals are coming from other realtors.  Can you share a quote on success and how you've applied it?  Success is a journey, not a destination.  The grind is something you experience daily. I've surrounded myself with other people who are also achievers.  I answer my phone whenever it rings, unless I'm already sitting with someone.  What is a qualification summary?  Can you share something you've failed at and what you've learned from it?  When was the transition which made you realize "I can do this"?  The most precious currency is time.  Pick a recipe and follow it.  It is crucial that we return phone calls.  How did Albert Collu help you transition to where you are today?  He opened the door to Royal LePage Niagara.  What advice would you give to your past self to improve your business?  Get out of the basement, do more outside marketing, and don't rely on the past to prepare for the future.  Where can people find you online?  Alwaysbeatthebank.com, and in the near future, Circlemortgage.ca.  Through CircleMortgage, a percentage of each transaction will be donated to a local charity of the client's choice.   More About Jivan Website: jivansanghera.ca Email: jsanghera@dominionlending.ca "Jivan on Twitter: @jivansanghera Jivan on LinkedIn Jivan on Facebook Host Scott Peckford More Shows See more notes and other episodes at the I Love Mortgage Brokering website.

Jude Elton explores the very different approaches taken by trade unions in the South Australian and Northern Territory pastoral industries to the union membership, workforce participation and wages of Aboriginal workers. The Australian Workers Union included Aboriginal workers as members and in award claims, while the North Australian Workers Union excluded most Aboriginal workers and actively supported discrimination in employment. Clues to their differences are found in the contrasting workforce characteristics and profitability of the wool and cattle sectors of the industry; geographical location; competition between workers for jobs; and legislation specific to Aboriginal peoples. Trade union leadership and politics also play a part. Jude’s talk will conclude with a reflection on current trade union responses to the Temporary Work (Skilled) 457 Visa Program given her findings in relation to Aboriginal workers. Jude Elton is a curator with History SA and President of the Association for the Study of Labour History (SA Branch). She was awarded a PhD in 2007 for her thesis on factors affecting union relations with Aboriginal workers in the South Australian and Northern Territory pastoral industries. As a professional historian Jude has worked on Native Title claims and undertaken research for a film an Aboriginal war veterans. Work at the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia has included teaching in Labour Studies and gender analyses of industrial legislation. Jude has also been an elected Assistant Secretary of the United Trades & Labor Council (now SA Unions) and Director of the Working Women’s Centre.

Speakers: Andrew Leigh, Cassandra Goldie, Sue Richardson, Cassandra WilkinsonAustralia was, and remains, less unequal than other western nations. But since the eighties, income and asset ownership have become steadily more concentrated. Despite this, serious public discussion about the growing inequality of income and opportunity has barely begun. In this discussion, four experts - Dr Andrew Leigh MHR, Federal Shadow Assistant Treasurer; Cassandra Goldie, CEO of ACOSS; Sue Richardson, Principal Research Fellow at the National Institute of Labour Studies; and Cassandra Wilkinson from the Centre for Independent Studies - discuss how inequality is impacting on our lives, our economy and our society - and the leadership we need for a fairer Australia.
