More than 3,800 Starbucks baristas have joined a nationwide strike since mid-November. They're demanding increased staffing, more predictable hours, and better wages. To talk about the exploitation of service workers like baristas, host Allen Ruff is joined by Annie McClanahan who says that the struggle of Starbucks workers to get a fair contract is very common across low-wage service work. More than 80% of the nation's workforce is in the service sector. It's made up of doctors, lawyers, and restaurant workers, all united in the ways that their labor can't be scaled up, automated, or outsourced. McClanahan describes how this sector also includes 75% of the folks earning minimum wage or sub-minimum wage, folks who are more likely to live below the poverty line and less likely to be protected from maximum hour or minimum wage protections. Because service work doesn't produce a “product” in a classical sense and because this labor is often racialized and feminized, service work is excluded from labor reforms and regulations.  McClanahan outlines a few ways that service workers become prey to “super-exploitation” – through intensifying and surveilling technologies and through the informalization of policies and contracts. The result is that service workers get stuck in what McClanahan calls “reproductive rifts” where people who deliver groceries can't afford groceries, or people who provide childcare can't afford their own childcare.  McClanahan says that conceptualizations of capitalism that are tied to industrial manufacturing are complicated by the rise of the service sector, which requires a different relationship between wages and technology. They also talk about the outsized influence of the National Restaurant Association and the difference between gig work and the service industry, namely that gig workers aren't paid hourly but through wage algorithms that are black boxed. Gig work draws on traditions of tipped work but adds to it forms of technological exploitation from wage algorithms and GPS systems, management by app, and the targeting of migrant workers for this kind of labor.  Meanwhile, rank and file Starbucks workers are making demands. And McClanahan says that service workers are drawing on tactics of domestic worker unions that aren't just about wages, but about rent control, mutual aid, and more.  Annie McClanahan is an Associate Professor of English at University of California, Irvine. She writes about U.S. popular culture, political economy, and contemporary capitalism and is the author of Dead Pledges: Debt, Crisis, and 21st Century Culture. Her second book, Beneath the Wage: Tips, Tasks, and Gigs in the Age of Service Work, is forthcoming in 2026.

"The writer has to have patience, the perseverance to just sit there alone and grind it out. And if that's not worth doing," Leonard said, "then he doesn't want to write." Leonard wanted to write from a young age, and write he did, first producing western stories and western novels before moving toward the crime novels that made his reputation. His is the career of a working writer the likes we don't see much of anymore. About COOLER THAN COOL, Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry writes that "If you love Elmore Leonard-and who doesn't?-you'll love this fascinating, richly detailed account of how one of our greatest storytellers lived his life and learned his craft."Over the course of his sixty-year career, Elmore Leonard published forty-five novels that had enduring appeal to readers around the world. Revered by other writers such as Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Raymond Carver, and Stephen King, his books were innovative in their blending of a Hemingway-inspired noirish minimalism and masterful use of dialogue over exposition-a direct evolution spurred by his years as a screenwriter.When C. M. Kushins was fifteen he worked up his courage and wrote a fan letter to Elmore and included one of his own short stories. Elmore proofread it and wrote an encouraging letter back. Years later, Kushins finally got a short story published and Elmore sent him a congratulatory note. When he first started thinking about writing this book, Kushins went nosing around the University of South Carolina archives-and found his own letters going back to when he was fifteen. Elmore had saved all their correspondence. It was this story that helped him get the Leonard family on board with the book. Indeed, the Leonard family has fully participated, contributing original interviews, additional personal correspondence, exclusive photographs, as well as access to Leonard's unfinished final novel. The biography also includes unpublished, loose memoir excerpts. These are included here for the first time to illuminate key passages of importance throughout Leonard's life in his own words.Leonard's fiction contained many layers, and at the heart of his work were progressive themes, stemming from his years as a student of the Jesuit religious order, his personal beliefs in social justice, and his successful battle over alcoholism. He drew inspiration from greats like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, but the true motivation and brilliance behind his crime writing was the ongoing class struggle to achieve the American Dream-often seen through the eyes of law enforcement officers and the criminals they vowed to apprehend.COOLER THAN COOL is not just a biography for fans of Leonard's fiction. His is work was also the source material for many movies including 3:10 to Yuma, Hombre, Jackie Brown, Get Shorty, Out of Sight-as well as the TV series Justified-and influenced American filmmaking, especially the western and crime genres.Definitive and revealing, COOLER THAN COOL shows Leonard emerging as one of the last writers of the "pulp fiction" era of midcentury America, to ultimately become one of the most successful storytellers of the twentieth century, whose influence continues to have far-reaching effects on both contemporary crime fiction and American filmmaking.One more thing: 2025 also marks Elmore Leonard's centennial. In September, Mariner Books will bring a never-published novella by the author, Picket Line, with an introduction by Kushins, timed to Leonard's October birthday.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

KMOX's Sean Malone joins Chris and Amy from Boeing where machinists on the defense side began their strike overnight after voting to reject a new deal. The union is divided on the reasons to oppose the contract, 'different people' have voted against the contract for 'different reasons,' says Malone.

At a campus YAF speech, Michael Knowles sits down with one of the students protesting his speech at The University of Utah.

PreBorn! - Help save babies from abortion: https://preborn.com/Knowles At a campus YAF speech, Michael Knowles sits down with some of the students arguing against his stances at University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with KJ Boyle, research assistant with The Revolving Door Project, to discuss his recent piece in The New Republic entitled "Donald Trump Is No Friend to the Working Class." Then, they speak with Prem Thakker, politics reporter at The Intercept, to discuss his recent reporting on the use of chemical weapons on pro-Palestine demonstrators at Columbia University. And THEN, they are joined by David Bedar, history teacher and member of the Newton Teacher's Association (NTA), to discuss the teacher's union ongoing strike efforts. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Donald Trump's New Hampshire win, US strikes on Yemen and Iraq, fracturing among the House and Senate GOP, mass layoffs, Sweden's NATO pitch, Ukraine's defensive, and US abortion travel bans, before parsing through Nikki Haley's response to her concrete loss in New Hampshire and Donald Trump's response to her. KJ Boyle then joins, diving right into his assessment of the incredible flourishing of the US labor movement under President Biden – particularly coming out of Donald Trump's administration – despite some pushback. Boyle tackles Donald Trump's very typical GOP approach to the labor wing of his administration, appointing CEOs and union-busting lawyers to the DOL and NLRB, before stepping back to assess Biden's appointments in Jennifer Abruzzo at the NLRB, and Julie Su as Secretary of Labor, and their importance in pushing us towards a return to the Joy Silk doctrine, and a re-establishment of US labor rights. Prem Thakker, next, walks Sam and Emma through Columbia University's long history of student activism and divestment campaigns, beyond and including Israel, before running through a briefer summary of the recent developments on Columbia's campus in the wake of October 7th, which have seen the disbanding of multiple pro-Palestinian student organizations and the rampant discrimination and harassment of Palestinian students and allies. Thakker wraps up with the recent attack on a Colombia protest by alleged Zionist students, and Colombia's refusal to address the incident without extreme pressure. David Bedar joins from the picket line in Newton, MA, as he walks through the basis for the NTA's strike in the city and the Mayor's complete mismanagement of the education sector, from underfunding and understaffing to poor pay and absurdly poor family policy, before wrapping up the show by walking through the incredibly important role of the Newton community and alumni network in standing with the Teachers' association, and what those of us outside of the community can do to help. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Jimmy Dore's new alchemical grift (it's just Silver Hawkery), Donald Trump shouts out Q in the year 2024 (and it works), and Nikki Haley's subdued performance among the best possible electorate for her.

In this riveting installment, Michael visits both Vanderbilt University and Clemson University, extending an invitation to his protesters to engage in face-to-face, friendly sit-down discussions. 'Cross The Picket Line' breaks down barriers, encouraging those who disagree with Michael's views to step forward and share their perspectives in a respectful and constructive setting. This episode showcases the power of civil discourse as Michael and his guests tackle a range of topics, from politics and culture to education and societal issues. 

He had to cross a PICKET LINE! Howie and the callers reminisce on Harvard boys and the ultra-wokesters across the Charles River. Then, John from New York calls in with an update on the markets. Is inflation really "down?" Should you sell all your real estate and start renting?

Trump will campaign with auto workers tomorrow.This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, White House correspondent Asma Khalid, and national political correspondent Don Gonyea.The podcast is was produced by Casey Morell and Elena Moore.

President Biden made history on Tuesday when he joined members of the United Auto Workers union on a picket line outside Detroit as they strike for better pay and benefits from the Big Three automakers.Biden is walking a political tightrope. He wants a better contract for workers–and to win union members' votes in battleground states. He also wants to support carmakers as they transition to a future of electric vehicles.NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Micheline Maynard, the author of The End of Detroit: How the Big Three Lost Their Grip on the American Car Market, to understand how profitable the big carmakers are right now. And NPR's Michel Martin speaks with historian Jefferson Cowie about the unprecedented nature of Biden walking the picket lines.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam is back with Emma to break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Biden's decision to join the UAW on the picket line, Trump's anti-union event in Michigan, the Supreme Court's rejection of Alabama's gerrymander, Kevin McCarthy's crisis in the House, Bob Menendez's corruption, climate catastrophe, and student loans. Next, they parse through the malpractice in mainstream news coverage of Donald Trump and Joe Biden's respective industry visits in Michigan today, and touch on updates from the strike, before diving into the impact of the Supreme Court's decision on Alabama's racial gerrymander and why this Court is still no friend of voting rights. Next, they chat about Bob Menendez's rebirthed corruption and why Chuck Schumer refuses to address it (like he did with Al Franken), before wrapping up with the House GOP's continuing meltdown. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma talk with Sarah from Illinois about the indifference toward culture war in much of the military, watch various killer climate actions, and Gumby from Topeka calls in about the theoretical conclusion to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Canadian Government accidentally gives a rousing applause to a Nazi, Jackson Hinkle goes to LARPing camp in Russia, and Grey from Virginia assesses Donald Trump's flight risk, plus, your calls and IMs!
