The Counter-app series explores how app-based workers can counter the power of their algorithmic bosses. Each episode is based on cutting-edge research by the European Trade Union Confederation on platform work and how workers are resisting digitised exploitation. In this first episode, Ben Wray looks at what algorithmic management is, how it affects workers and what data tools and tactics workers can use to 'negotiate the algorithm'. The episode is based on a trade union manual to Negotiating the Algorithm published by the ETUC in September, which you can download here: https://www.etuc.org/en/publication/fair-platforms-project-thematic-reports Structure00:00 - 00:58: Introduction 00:59 - 03:33: Part 1: What is algorithmic management? 03:34 - 08:35: Part 2: What problems do workers face from algorithmic management? 08:36 - 12:07: Part 3: How do workers ‘negotiate the algorithm'? 12:08 - 19:50: Part 4: What are workers' data tools? 19:51 - 22:03: Part 5: How do unions build their data capacities? 22:04 - 23:55: Conclusion  Credits Background music: ‘Embrace', by Evgeny Bardyuzha (downloaded with a creative commons licence from pixabay.com) Interviews were conducted in-person with Fiachra Ó Luain, Lucie Morpurgo and Daniel Cruz in Nicosia, Cyprus, September 2025.

Beef, to save the world.” “According to a 2023 University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) report, beef production can be climate-neutral or even better if management practices are optimized to minimize emissions and maximize abilities to store carbon. Some of the ways UNL research suggests that cattle's carbon footprint can be reduced include: Diet: Cattle that eat more forage and added fats produce less methane and other greenhouse gases than those that eat more grain and less forage. Fat supplements can also reduce the need for grain. Production efficiency: Improving production efficiency can result in more cattle being marketed or more live weight being produced while using fewer resources. This can be achieved through breeding, feeding, and health programs. Supply chain: Buying feed that's grown nearby can reduce shipping emissions.”    "Numbers Aren't Jiving To The Real World" - Huge Revisions Leave Traders Questioning Biden Admin's Energy Data  Just over a year ago, we commented on the "massive" revisions that the statistical arm of Biden administration's Department of Energy - the Energy Information Administration (EIA)... https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1674793195547529216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1674793195547529216%7Ctwgr%5E20f35cc08fd295d70e3d42e1b05aadd80d29649f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fenergy%2Fnumbers-arent-jiving-real-world-huge-revisions-leave-traders-questioning-biden-admins-energy   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1821918147571515894   in home insurance premiums seen between 2020 and 2023.

Some members of Congress recently introduced legislation that would give President Biden the power to ban TikTok, despite the company's best efforts to get on Congress' good side. How did an app known for viral dance videos find itself in the middle of a national security debate? On the show today, Forbes tech reporter Emily Baker-White explains why some members of Congress see TikTok as a national security threat, how real that threat actually is, and what an all-out ban would even look like. Plus, how it felt to be spied on by TikTok. In the News Fix: How a viral parody tweet may have helped bring down insulin prices. Also, Kai Ryssdal explains what the latest round of job cuts at Meta say about the larger tech industry. And, a little Silicon Valley Bank update, for good measure. Later, one listener shares their experience with rooftop solar panels. And, this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question comes from a listener who was wrong about the volatile nature of the tech industry. Here’s everything we talked about today: “TikTok's master plan to win over Washington” from Vox “Senate, White House push new bipartisan bill that could ban TikTok” from Politico “EXCLUSIVE: TikTok Spied On Forbes Journalists” from Forbes “TikTok tries to sell ‘Project Texas’ as it fights for survival in the U.S.” from NBC News “How A TikTok Ban Would Work — And How TikTok Could Fight Back” from Forbes “Novo Nordisk to slash US insulin prices, following move by Eli Lilly” from Reuters Tweet from @MorePerfectUS about their staff writer’s viral parody Eli Lilly tweet “Meta to Lay Off 10,000 Employees, Cut 5,000 More Open Jobs” from Bloomberg “George Santos Signals Intention to Seek Re-election in 2024” from The New York Times What have you been wrong about lately?

He discusses Biden's midterm campaign speech in Maryland and Biden calling Republicans fascists and the release of the redacted affidavit that was used by the FBI to search Mar-a-Lago for missing classified documents. Then he speaks with political journalist Jordan Zakarin, @MorePerfectUS. Next he takes a call from Bill in Florida. Then finally he interviews journalist and political correspondent Jackie Calmes about current events and Donald Trump.

This week's episode is kind of an angry one. We start out with some good news, as the ATU in DC have won their strike, and workers at Intelligentsia Coffee in Chicago have won their union vote. Trader Joe's workers in Minneapolis won their union election in a landslide, potentially setting up a new nationwide union push. We also follow up with the workers at Heine Brothers coffee, where union busting efforts by management have escalated. We discuss the many (600,000+) crimes of Chipotle, which recently settled a massive lawsuit from NYC with a minor fine. Working conditions at Amazon continue to maim and kill workers, we discuss more deaths in New Jersey, unsafe temps in Memphis, and backbreaking labor in Albany. A new report was recently issued showing that unions have far more cash, and far fewer organizers, than business unionist leadership would like us to believe. Also this week, “detainees” have been on strike for months at two of the US migrant concentration camps, refusing to work for slave wages of $1/day in unsafe conditions. Finally, we close out looking at the weekly developments with Starbucks Workers United.

Since April 2022, the workers at Amazon's Schodack, NY warehouse have been organizing to become a local of the Amazon Labor Union. Organizing Campaign Manager Heather Goodall has been providing weekly updates to Hudson Mohawk Magazine's Cathy Silber. In this July 28, 2022 segment, Heather describes Amazon's latest intimidation tactics, anti-union propaganda in required employee meetings, the Amazon response to the Schodack Warehouse memorial service for a New Jersey employee who suffered a fatal heart attack while loading a truck after being sent back to work following complaints of chest pain on the job, and more. For more information on the July 27, 2022 Schodack memorial for the New Jersey Amazon worker who died on the job, Rafael Frias (last name not confirmed): https://world-outlook.com/2022/07/24/alb1-amazon-workers-call-walkout-over-new-jersey-death/?fbclid=IwAR2RVtDDsUG6PfSPTgi8zr0Yk_UpMR07Lo4OIPa0VZ4CLWSogh13MOofZYs Amazon called the Schodack police to the warehouse on July 25. A video of the police encounter with Heather has been viewed over 75K times on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MorePerfectUS/status/1551712651763490823.

Thousands of John Deere workers are on strike after the company and the United Automobile Workers union failed to negotiate a new contract. Jonah Furman, a staff writer and organizer with Labor Notes, joins us to discuss what led to the Deere strike and the national movement by workers demonstrating for better pay and rights. And in headlines: the Haitian gang that abducted 17 people has asked for $1 million per person in ransom, Brazil's Senate calls for homicide charges against President Jair Bolsonaro for his handling of COVID-19, and the January 6th House commission holds Steve Bannon in criminal contempt.
