www.commsolutionsmn.com-  The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers recently agreed to a stipulation in their contract that white teachers will get laid off before educators of other races. Wow, racist much? They say that minority teachers can never make it because all the white teachers have seniority. This is a clear case study in antiracism. Remember, antiracism isn't being against racism, it's using discrimination against a so-called group of "oppressors" to level the playing field for an identified group of "victims". The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers says that they are "extremely proud" of the language in the contracts. They say racist things like students learn best from teachers who look like them. What? So white teachers are incapable of teaching BIPOC students? It gets better... they go on to say that white student benefit from teachers of color. I guess white teachers are no longer needed. White people must pay for their racist sins. How do you like your antiracism now? Will this bleed into other sectors of public employment? Government administration? Police? What about in the private sector? ESG scores are already driving this in corporate boards and upper leadership. It only makes sense that we'll see it in the lower ranks as well. It's amazing to see the media slant to laud this policy and demonize anyone that speaks out against it. We also discuss the recent attempt of the Executive Branch to erase student debt. Why is that our issue? Why is college so expensive? What can we do to change the culture around higher education? We try to tackle the problems and the solutions.

Aaron Withe joins the show to discuss the Minneapolis teachers' union reaching an agreement with school districts to layoff white teachers first. It has come to light that in order to end a two-week teacher strike last spring, the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers union reached an agreement with the state's school districts to layoff white teachers before teachers of color, despite seniority.

Biden is lying to the American people about the Inflation Reduction Act claiming it will help inflation, but the legislation will have a negligible impact on inflation that has squeezed working- and middle-class Americans over the last year. There is an ambitious plan to put EV charging stations across an 1,100 mile stretch on Lake Michigan, problem is the cost and there is no demand for the stations. An agreement between the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers union and the school district states that White teachers will be laid off before teachers of color, regardless of their seniority, and more.

In this episode of The Bald Brad Show, Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers have come to an agreement that will, among other things, protect members of "underrepresented populations" from possible layoffs at the expense of white teachers with more experience. Furthermore, Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was more than happy to talk about the recently-passed Inflation Reduction Act — until a reporter dared to ask him what specifically the package might do to lower inflation and thus reduce the strain on Americans' budgets. Lastly, the Department of Justice filed a motion on Monday opposing the release of the affidavit that was used to justify the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. What is the Woke Left doing to this country?

Shaun Laden is the President of the ESP chapter of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and Educational Service Providers. He joined Chad to talk about their tentative deal with the district and how they got there.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Just when you think that we've talked about the stupidest thing on the face of the planet, we blow even our own expectations. I-94 is going to need some major repairs to bring it into the future, but Our Streets Minneapolis and MNDOT have a great idea. We need to rip out I-94 completely and replace it with the Twin Cities Boulevard. What? So we're going to take one of the busiest corridors in all of the city, with hospitals, sports stadiums, and two major downtown business centers, and just remove the freeway that moves most of those vehicles from point "A" to point "B". They would like to have a boulevard with stop lights instead, and push all the traffic to 694 and 494. The MN Department of Transportation (MNDOT) has had their "Rethinking I-94" in the works for years. They are working with groups like Our Streets Minneapolis to develop alternatives to I-94, so that communities can be reconnected. There isn't anyone around that remembers when I-94 was built, and is clamoring for a simpler day. It's just not true. The activists say that highways are racist. What isn't nowadays? It's not just in the Twin Cities either... Duluth wants to remove part of I-35 too. The manipulation is off the charts and it's obscene. Take the survey on MNDOT's website and make your voice heard now. Soon, it will be too far down the line to stop. Also, the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers is pushing for a 20% pay increase, plus a whole host of other unreasonable demands. They actually have the gall to claim that it's for the kids. It's time to get your kids out of that district while there is still time. Have you checked out our Spotify playlist?

All Minneapolis Public Schools classes are canceled as the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers MFT remains on strike.

4,500 educators with the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers have been on strike since March 8, demanding smaller class sizes, better pay and benefits, more mental health resources for students, and increased workforce diversity. After working through the COVID-19 pandemic and years of austerity policies, teachers and education support professionals (ESP) have reached their breaking point. “I have multiple jobs, and I still live paycheck to paycheck because my wages are insufficient,” Ma-Riah Roberson-Moody, a lead negotiator for the ESP chapter of the city's teacher union, recently told NBC News. “I can make more money right now going to work at Target than I do working for Minneapolis Public Schools, and that is difficult.” TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez discusses the strike and what educators have been going through in recent years with Karin, an education support professional who has worked in the Minneapolis district for 6 years.Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/chronically-understaffed-underpaid-educators-in-minneapolis-strike-against-austerityPre-Production/Studio/Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp 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

The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers has been on strike since March 8, asking for higher wages and smaller class sizes, among other issues. The school district says it can't afford to meet all of the teachers' demands. This is an MPR News morning update for Monday, March 21, 2022. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Our theme music is by Gary Meister.

Teachers in the Minneapolis Public School district are in the second week of their strike, led by The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers Local 59. Tequila Laramee, an associate educator who has been with Minneapolis Public Schools for ten years, joins us to discuss what she and the union are advocating for. At least 130 survivors have been rescued from the theater in Mariupol that had been serving as a shelter for up to 1,300 people when it was bombed by Russian air forces. A Russian court has extended the detention of WNBA player Brittney Griner until May 19, and state department officials say that have had no access to her so far. And in headlines: Washington state's governor signed a measure into law that prohibits legal action against anyone seeking an abortion, President Biden announced a new White House COVID-19 response coordinator, and Selena's family plans to release a posthumous Selena album.

It's been 10 days since Minneapolis teachers and staff began their strike, and kids in Minneapolis have missed eight days of school. School board chairwoman Kim Ellison has said negotiations have made progress, but there's no deal yet. The pressure is mounting, and one school board member, Josh Pauley, resigned Tuesday citing broken trust between the board and the teacher's union. Some parents aren't happy about the disruption to their children's education. John Champe has two daughters in middle school in the Minneapolis district. He joined host Cathy Wurzer to talk about what the strike has been like for his family. She also spoke with Shaun Laden, an educational support professional in Minneapolis and the president of the educational support professionals chapter of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers.

All Minneapolis Public Schools Pre k-grade 12 and Transition Plus classes are canceled as the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers are on strike.

The Teacher and Educational Support Professionals chapters of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers filed an intent to strike notice on February 23. With the initial 10-day cooling off period, a potential strike may commence this coming Tuesday, March 8. Negotiations between MPS staff and MFT union leaders are ongoing. Manny Hill spoke with MPS Superintendent Ed Graff about the issues being discussed, and first asked the Superintendent for the status of where things are in negotiations.

With Minneapolis teachers and support staff set to strike if an agreement isn't reached with the school district by March 8, John has a conversation with Shaun Laden, the president of the Educational Support Professionals chapter of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers. We talk about the state of Minneapolis schools, what the union is asking for, and what Shaun sees as an existential threat to the school district: "If we don't change how we operate in the schools, how we make decisions, how we fund based on the resources we have - we're afraid we're not going to have a district."

In results announced overnight, the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers says 97 percent of teachers and 98 percent of support staff voted in favor of a strike. The Saint Paul Federation of Educators says 78 percent of its voting members supported a strike. The votes do not mean teachers will strike right away, but they empower union leaders to call a strike. This is an MPR News morning update for Friday, February 18, 2022. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.

The East Side Freedom Library invites you to a conversation with author Eric Lotke about his newly published novel, Union Made. Recent events have raised our awareness about the challenges faced by service and retail workers and by their efforts to organize. From Twin Cities brew pubs and coffee shops to Amazon warehouses in Alabama, Staten Island, and Shakopee, diverse workers are organizing to have a say about their working conditions and wages. Our friends at Hard Ball Press have just published a novel, Union Made, which takes readers inside this world. This novel is a fast-paced romance with a political edge, revealing the tactics, strains, and risks of mobilizing a multiracial group of workers to stand together against a merciless management holding them down. With a strong female lead and a gripping labor campaign that explores union organizing from the inside, Eric Lotke puts the reader in the shoes of Catherine Campbell, a labor organizer, and Nate Hawley, an accountant whose company is planning a hostile takeover of Pac-Shoppe, the company she's trying to organize. There are sparks between the union activists and the company's dirty tricksters, and sparks between Catherine and Nate. As Catherine's campaign falters in the face of Pac-Shoppe's illegal hardball tactics, Nate's sympathy for the workers and his fascination with Catherine grow. Can the lonely accountant interest the determined labor organizer by sharing evidence of Pac-Shoppe's dirty tricks? How much trouble will he be in if he reveals corporate secrets to the union? Find out in this touching love story wrapped in a contemporary labor battle. Eric Lotke is an author, activist and scholar. His early work, The Real War on Crime, was groundbreaking on criminal justice policy. His original research on Prisoners of the Census has led to new law in ten states so far. His lawsuit over the exploitative price of phone calls from prison led to new rules by the FCC. Joining Eric for this conversation will be Cathy Hanson, editor of the Minneapolis American Postal Workers Union's newspaper, KaeJae Johnson, staff director of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, and Luke Mielke, who has been an organizer for the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees in Chicago. They have read Union Made, and they will help draw out its implications for organizers, activists, and readers. To view the video: https://youtu.be/iHZVdldiauE

www.commsolutionsmn.com- A year ago, the Minneapolis City Council was dead set on not defunding, but dismantling, the Minneapolis Police Department. To do this, they would have to change the city charter, which required a police presence, including minimums per capita. The Charter Commission wasn't having any of that. Either a "yes" or "no" vote on the proposal would put the issue back with the City Council for certain approval. Instead, they decided to table the proposal, putting it on hold for 90 days... and past the date of the election, tying the council's hands. Now there is a "citizen-led" group (with the help of the ACLU, Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, and a whole mess of other radical groups) called Yes For Minneapolis that has one goal: to finish the work that the city council couldn't get done. They circulated a petition to change the city charter, removing the police department entirely, and replacing it with the Department of Public Safety. They may or may not have to hire police at all, depending on the situation. What? Have they looked at the exponential rise in crime, shootings, and murder in Minneapolis? I can't think of a worse solution. Yes For Minneapolis is made of a bunch of also ran groups like Sex Workers Outreach Project Minneapolis, Reviving Sisterhood, Reclaim the Block, Education for Liberation, Women for Political Change, and others. Why are the 5% leading the 95% around? Why is the majority so scared of these radical groups? They are working to get this on the ballot for this coming November. You had better pray that this goes over like lead balloon, because once the police are gone, all the criminals will come here and the suburbs will be in their sights as well. Minneapolis needs to learn to be a good neighbor to the rest of the metro area. They are not an island unto themselves. Should they succeed with this proposal, they should come under an avalanche of lawsuits from the surrounding cities. They have a duty to do their fair share in protecting and serving the Metro area.

Today we are looking deeper into MPD terrorism and brutality by going beyond the visible players and shining light on some of the behind the scenes power brokers that prop up the status quo. The law firm Rice, Michels & Walther were long time legal representation for the Minneapolis Federation of Police, representing them in collective bargaining, arbitration and as lobbyists at the state capital. We do a basic overview of the firms role protecting killer cops and do a deeper dive into a founding partner and DFL political operative Brian Rice.  Huge shout out to our producer Isaac Specktor for crafting the intro from live audio captured at a NE Minneapolis Solidarity Vigil for George Floyd, the speakers you hear are Marie and Porscia, salute to them and everyone else who came out.  The song you here on rally audio is Nurture and Neglect pt 2 by Jayanthi Kyle, a part of the Dismembered and Unarmed project executive produced by Resmaa Menakem, I Self Devine and Medium Zack.  Please support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/moneypowerlandsolidarity
