After yet another crazy week both in and outside the labor world we've got another packed episode for you. First, we follow up with the workers at REI in Manhattan who have won their union election in a landslide. Next, the NYT Tech Guild also overwhelmingly won their election, becoming the largest union of tech workers in the US. Following up our story on the rise of independent unions in Mexico, workers at the Tridonex auto parts factory in Matamoros voted by a large margin to replace their old company union with a new democratic one. We also discuss organizing efforts by Philly Starbucks workers to fight for covid safety protections after the company dropped its mask mandate for customers, and also touch on 3 more union election victories in Buffalo for the Starbucks Workers United movement. We cover two stories of workers in Italy: First, tens of thousands of students protested to end the requirement that all high school students perform unpaid labor for private companies in order to graduate after multiple students have died on the job. Then, thousands of doctors have protested the government's austerity policies towards primary care physicians and its slow slide towards privatization. Finally, we cover the massive strike of teachers and education support professionals in Minneapolis. If you like the show, please support us at patreon.com/workstoppage.

Rosanne Barr got stupid. Again. And the people lost their minds over it. ABC canceled her TV show, which was drawing millions of viewers each week. A Philly Starbucks called cops on two men. And people lost their minds. Yesterday Starbucks closed for company-wide training, losing $12 million. The NFL and the national anthem continue to be in the news. And people are still losing their minds about it. A video shows a cop being rough with a teenager. And people go ballistic. A sportscaster doesn't pander to his college alma mater on the air. People go nuts and he's forced to move his family. To another town. Just today, there's this. A story from The Telegraph about people who wear reading glasses. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh analysed the genetic data of more than 44,480 people. They found that, overall, those who were more intelligent were nearly 30 per cent more likely to have genes indicating they require reading glasses than those who scored poorly. This is sure to cause riots among non-reading glass wearers who will likely feel bullied, assaulted, victimized by the researchers. Chris Long, the Philadelphia Eagles player, posted a tweet a few days ago that got some hockey folks riled up. I'm a serious hockey fan. I'm also a serious unfan of the NBA. But I'm also fond of Chris Long. I wasn't offended. Suppose the guy hates hockey and loves basketball. And that affects me how? And I would want to care because...? The Internet was filled with people who took offense to Long's tweet, not knowing one thing about what was really happening. Namely, that Chris Long was provoking people knowing full well that hockey players and the NHL is a tough game. It was a joke. And the joke was on the overly sensitive nimrods who reacted. You can read more about it all here. Or just do what many people do. Jump to a conclusion that suits you. It just goes on. And on. And on. And on. Right is right. Always. Wrong is wrong. Always. The problem is we've lost our way. We'd rather jump to conclusions with our knee-jerk reactions so we can harshly judge somebody. Empathy? Who's got time for it? We're too busy shouting ugly names at people. Calling people out. Just about every network seems to have some late night funny person who drones on and on about the government, the White House, the President, or some celebrity who made a foolish move. The sheer number of these shows and the fact they remain on the air proves to me that somebody is watching. Networks are willing to pay these folks for doing what they do because it's profitable. Which means people tune in. I may be the odd man out because I don't find very many of them entertaining at all. For me, they're the canaries in the coal mine of our culture's lust for crushing people so we can feel better about ourselves. When I was a kid playing football piling on was a penalty. Later it became known as a late hit. But we'd raze the guy who piled on. The person who wasn't in the play, but wanted to get in on it anyway. That's what all this behavior reminds me of. Folks who aren't involved, but want to be involved. I wonder how much of that is happening. How many people are barking and howling at the moon of foolishness from the behavior of others just so they can get in on the action? And for what reason? So they'll appear as more righteous? More morally upright? If a harsh judgment of foolish or poor behavior was the only thing needed for wisdom, then we'd all be as wise as Solomon. Even Solomon veered away from God and in the end, he realized what was important. Reviling in his own bad choices, or the bad choices of others wasn't the conclusion he reached. You can read his conclusion in Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14. How Can You Help The Podcast?

VIDEO: https://youtu.be/WYlLQQMTMlE James takes calls on Syria and Trump's decision to bomb Damascus after a reported chemical weapons attack for which media blame Assad. Many people didn't want Trump to get involved in more foreign wars, but some people still trust the president. Watch Styxhexenhammer666 for an interesting and well-informed take: https://youtu.be/VM0D4F6Dy1U Then there's the story of blacks getting arrested at a Starbucks where they were loitering and not buying anything (which Starbucks generally allows). But blacks have developed a lack of trust in their communities, due to high robbery rates and other mess. Watch Story of the Black Conservative's video for more: https://youtu.be/VoLAXDQupSc James also talks about the degradation of trust in America with loss of morals, religion, men/fathers, and increase of immigrants. http://thehakereport.com Call-in: 888-775-3773.
