This week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: From trash pick-up to the Vietnam War, from Inland Empire housing justice to Wisconsin healthcare strikes—this episode is full of grit, struggle, and solidarity. We begin with Power at Work, where Victor Mineros of the Teamsters and Kathy Torres from Local 179 break down the nationwide strike against Republic Services. These essential sanitation workers aren't just cleaning up your waste—they're cleaning up corporate greed, one picket line at a time. Then we head to Madison Labor Radio, where UAW Local 95's Enrique Castano is fighting for a fair contract at Mercy Health East Clinic. The stakes? Wages, safety, and keeping the only unionized unit in a sprawling non-profit hospital chain alive. On Teamsters 1932's Worker Power Hour, Randy Corgan speaks with Shayla Bernard from the UCR Labor Center about worker organizing and vanishing middle-class opportunity in California's vast Inland Empire. It's a call for regional labor power and research that centers real workers' voices. Finally, on the Labor Heritage Power Hour, longtime activist Michael Ansara reflects on a life of organizing—from SDS and the Civil Rights movement to community empowerment and poetry—with a moving message on The Hard Work of Hope, also the title of his new memoir. Highlights from labor radio and podcast shows around the country, part of the national Labor Radio Podcast Network of shows focusing on working people's issues and concerns.

Funded by the Better Together Women’s Giving Circle, these microgrants support recipients in achieving financial stability, repairing vehicles, pursuing education, and covering emergency medical or rental expenses. Over the event’s five years, a total of $102,604.32 has been distributed. CEO Melanie Conner emphasized the program’s role as a “hand-up,” not a handout, enabling families to regain self-sufficiency. This year’s ceremony, attended by nearly 100 people, highlighted its remarkable growth since starting via Zoom in 2020 with just 15 participants. STORY 2: Greater Atlanta Christian School Collects Food for Salvation Army Greater Atlanta Christian School has participated in the 11Alive/Salvation Army Can-A-Thon since 2012, and this year, its 1,800 students collected 28,730 non-perishable food items. These donations aim to combat food insecurity in Gwinnett County and beyond. On December 6, students from all grade levels sorted, packed, and delivered the items, accompanied by festive music from the GAC Concert Choir. Efforts throughout November included competitions and family-supported shopping, which helped surpass donation goals. School officials highlighted the event as a reflection of Christ’s love through service and generosity, emphasizing the true spirit of Christmas and the community's shared commitment to giving.

Grove Hill will continue to use Republic Services for its solid waste collections. The City Council Monday accepted Republic's bid for service in 2025. Republic's bid was slightly higher than Waste Management's, the only other bidder, but the council opted to stay with the company because of the service it has provided. Republic's bid for commercial and residential services was ,452.65. Waste Management bid ,073.36, 9.38 less. Despite Republic's bid being slightly higher, it was awarded.

In 2018, nearly one-third of the 39 million tons of waste in California landfills was compostable organic material. Organic material – food and agricultural waste – releases methane, a very potent greenhouse gas, as it decomposes. As a result, California's Short-Lived Pollutant Reduction law, SB-1383, targets such food waste by establishing methane reduction targets and takes aim at food insecurity in the state. The implementation of SB-1383 is vital in supporting California's climate goals. Methane is produced when organics rot, and it is critical to reduce methane emissions levels as the gas is eighty-four times more potent than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over a 20 year period. When implemented, SB-1383 will reduce California's methane emissions from organic materials in traditional landfills by an estimated twenty percent.SB 1383 also supports California's commitments to improving human health, creating clean jobs, and supporting local economies. Some of SB-1383 targets include: expanding California's organics infrastructure, ensuring all residents and businesses have access to recycling and organics collection services, a seventy-five percent reduction in organic waste disposal from 2014 levels, and that no less than twenty percent of currently disposed edible food is reserved for human consumption by 2025. The bill also requires jurisdictions to conduct outreach and education to all businesses, residents, solid waste facilities, and local food banks. Chris Seney is the Director of Organics Operations at Republic Services and has operated organic facilities for over twenty years in California. Seney helped lead the development of organics infrastructure and enactment of SB-1383 across the state. The implementation of SB-1383 has resulted in an increase in demand for composting facilities, which, in turn, has increased energy demand. Now, California has its first fully solar-powered compost facility, Republic Services' Otay Compost Facility in Chula Vista. The facility runs completely on renewable energy, processes one hundred tons of organic waste a day, and helps the San Diego region meet the demands of SB-1383. Compost also supports California's climate goals as it promotes a “an economy that uses a systems-focused approach and involves industrial processes and economic activities that are restorative or regenerative by design.” A circular economy focuses on sustainability and the lifecycle of materials, maximizing resources while minimizing waste. Compost is a critical part of a circular economy as the compost produced from recycled organics preserves natural resources, nutrients, and water that would otherwise be lost in landfills. Along with preserving resources, the composting initiatives in SB-1383 are expected to significantly support decarbonization goals. Whendee Silver, a UC Berkeley ecosystem ecologist, “has estimated that applying an inch of compost to just 5% of California's rangelands would suck enough carbon out of the atmosphere to equal pulling 6 million cars off the road.” Composting may be the next climate crusade and SB-1383 is leading the nation in efforts reducing both food waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Sarah Stallard is a 7th generation farmer who came to work with her uncles on a new farm near Las Vegas Nevada raising hogs. The farm is in partnership with the local waste and recycling company Republic Services. They lease the land from Republic Services and use food waste to feed the hogs. She says the partnership was formed “to help find a solution to organic waste." The family had always fed food scraps as pigs “are not picky about what food scraps” they eat. Sarah describes the process of collecting, sorting, and feeding tons of mixed rations from casino kitchens and buffets, facilities such as an ice cream factory, and grocery stores. What the farm produces is marketed locally, and they do face challenges due to the lack of an USDA processing plant for meat in Nevada. The family's dream is to “complete the circle” through having their locally produced food offered in the casinos. She also describes how the hogs are housed and raised sustainably and humanely. There is a lot of attention paid to what they are doing to reduce food waste, and they are “willing to help and network with other farmers,” including hosting many tours. About this work, Sarah says, “I can feel really good about what I'm doing; it's good to know that I'm making a difference daily.”____________Thanks for listening to Fresh Growth!

Bill GatesCochair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation$117.9B$983M (0.84%)Real Time Net Worthas of 6/27/23#5 in the world today About Bill Gates Bill Gates turned his fortune from software firm Microsoft into diversified holdings including investments in zero-carbon energy. In May 2021, Bill and Melinda Gates each announced on Twitter they were ending their marriage after 27 years. They still co-chair the charitable Gates Foundation. Gates, who cofounded Microsoft with Paul Allen (d. 2018) in 1975, transferred at least $6 billion worth of shares in public companies to Melinda as part of the divorce settlement. As of March 2020, when Gates stepped down from the Microsoft board, he owned about 1.3% of the software and computing company's shares. He has invested in dozens of companies including Republic Services and Deere & Co., and is one of the largest owners of farmland in the U.S. To date, Gates has donated more than $59 billion to the Gates Foundation, including a $20 billion gift announced in July 2022. Most of his early donations were gifts of Microsoft stock. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-kaagee-mante/message
In Nevada and 11 other states, an obscure statute allows the trash company to put a lien on your home if you don't pay your bills. They say it's because unlike water and gas utilities, they can't cut off service — they have to keep picking up your trash. But over the course of 2022, Republic Services has doubled their lawsuits, and they're not saying why. Today, co-host Vogue Robinson chats with Michael “MJ” Lyle, who just wrote a story about a Henderson woman who could lose her home because of 20-year-old unpaid trash bills, and the solutions he sees as an alternative. (Spoiler alert: One of them involves Rihanna.) What's been your experience with Republic Services?

In 2018, nearly one-third of the 39 million tons of waste in California landfills was compostable organic material. Organic material – food and agricultural waste – releases methane, a very potent greenhouse gas, as it decomposes. As a result, California's Short-Lived Pollutant Reduction law, SB-1383, targets such food waste by establishing methane reduction targets and takes aim at food insecurity in the state. The implementation of SB-1383 is vital in supporting California's climate goals. Methane is produced when organics rot, and it is critical to reduce methane emissions levels as the gas is eighty-four times more potent than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over a 20 year period. When implemented, SB-1383 will reduce California's methane emissions from organic materials in traditional landfills by an estimated twenty percent.SB 1383 also supports California's commitments to improving human health, creating clean jobs, and supporting local economies. Some of SB-1383 targets include: expanding California's organics infrastructure, ensuring all residents and businesses have access to recycling and organics collection services, a seventy-five percent reduction in organic waste disposal from 2014 levels, and that no less than twenty percent of currently disposed edible food is reserved for human consumption by 2025. The bill also requires jurisdictions to conduct outreach and education to all businesses, residents, solid waste facilities, and local food banks. Chris Seney is the Director of Organics Operations at Republic Services and has operated organic facilities for over twenty years in California. Seney helped lead the development of organics infrastructure and enactment of SB-1383 across the state. The implementation of SB-1383 has resulted in an increase in demand for composting facilities, which, in turn, has increased energy demand. Now, California has its first fully solar-powered compost facility, Republic Services' Otay Compost Facility in Chula Vista. The facility runs completely on renewable energy, processes one hundred tons of organic waste a day, and helps the San Diego region meet the demands of SB-1383. Compost also supports California's climate goals as it promotes a “an economy that uses a systems-focused approach and involves industrial processes and economic activities that are restorative or regenerative by design.” A circular economy focuses on sustainability and the lifecycle of materials, maximizing resources while minimizing waste. Compost is a critical part of a circular economy as the compost produced from recycled organics preserves natural resources, nutrients, and water that would otherwise be lost in landfills. Along with preserving resources, the composting initiatives in SB-1383 are expected to significantly support decarbonization goals. Whendee Silver, a UC Berkeley ecosystem ecologist, “has estimated that applying an inch of compost to just 5% of California's rangelands would suck enough carbon out of the atmosphere to equal pulling 6 million cars off the road.” Composting may be the next climate crusade and SB-1383 is leading the nation in efforts reducing both food waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Cobb's police chief says the county needs more officers. And Kennesaw faces a decision on recycling We'll have all this and more on the Marietta Daily Journal podcast! Commercial STORY 1:UGA According to UGASports.com, redshirt sophomore Arik Gilbert was involved in a two-vehicle wreck Monday morning. The accident took place on campus at the intersection of Lumpkin and Baxter streets. Sources also confirmed to UGASports.com that Arik's Mercedes was totaled, but there appears to be no injury to the tight end. Arik was at practice Monday afternoon and he appeared to have no restrictions. Georgia is preparing for its season opener versus Oregon on Saturday. Arik, who returned to the team in January after sitting out last season, caught two touchdowns in the spring game and is expected to make an impact on the offense in 2022. STORY 2:police What is the greatest need of the Cobb County Police Department? “More officers,” Cobb Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer said during a recent community forum. The department brought on nine new officers Thursday but is headed for a net loss of officers this year. The biggest reason, per Chief VanHoozer: retirements. According to the county, the department is currently short 85 officers, and the MDJ reported in May it employs more than 700 sworn officers. Chief VanHoozer said problems the department faced both prior to and during the pandemic are high attrition rates — losing staff to retirement or other departure reasons — and pay compression, which occurs when new hires' wages are similar to experienced employees as a result of the labor market outpacing raises over time. He thanked Lisa Cupid, chair of the Cobb Board of Commissioners, who was in attendance, and other county officials for helping to address pay for police staff. In its 2023 budget, the commission gave public safety employees a “step” increase, moving them up a pay level under the county's “step-and-grade” pay plan. This year was the second with a raise for public safety workers since the plan was instituted in 2020, and the department is working to address compression over a three-year period, according to Public Safety Director Randy Crider. Public safety employees not covered by the step-and-grade program — high-ranking police and fire officials, for example — saw an average raise of 3.3% in the 2023 budget. The department's successes did not go unmentioned during the forum. Deputy Chief Dan Ferrell, who oversees the department's special investigations and response division, touted the fact that the department has already taken more guns off of the county's streets this year than in any year prior. He also made clear one of his biggest priorities as head of special investigations. STORY 3:Recycle City Council members face a decision on whether to keep curbside recycling for residents after this summer. If the service does remain, it will come at a cost. Republic Services of Georgia was the lone bidder to reply to an August request for proposals on the collection and disposal of solid waste, recyclables and yard waste. Two other companies attended a pre-bid meeting but declined to submit an offer. Republic Services, which is the existing provider in Kennesaw, would keep running the garbage routes but is proposing a price hike in recycling for items other than glass. To continue with full recycling service, Atlanta-based Republic would raise rates by $5.75 a month for every customer, regardless of participation, according to city Public Works Director Ricky Stewart. As a result, Stewart told Mayor Derek Easterling and council members at a Monday work session he recommends they approve the contract without the recycling program. Mayor Easterling said the issue facing council members at their meeting next week comes down to the contract they wish to approve. The monthly bill for customers is currently $29.15, including stormwater and streetlight service. As news has spread of a potential rate increase should recycling continue, citizens have begun reaching out to the mayor. He expects to hear more in the coming week. STORY 4:Art dk Gallery will kick off its September show with an opening reception on Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. at 25 West Park Square in Marietta. The show will feature “All Creatures Great & Small” from artists Jeffie Brewer, Julia Burns, Lauren Chambers, Amy Cobb, Claire Dunaway, Jared Knox, Lorra Kurtz, Ellen Langford, Russell Miyaki, Lauren Pallotta Stumberg, Brenda Sulmonetti, Laura Surace, Jeff Surace, and guest artist Demond Matsuo.

The evening will highlight the Humane Society of Cobb County whose mission is to promote humane welfare and responsible animal guardianship through educational community outreach, shelter and spay/neuter programs. Pets are welcome to the show, which will run from Friday to October 1. The opening recption will also coincide with Art Walk, a free self-guided walking tour of the Marietta Square's galleries, museums, cultural venues, restaurants and businesses on the first Friday of each month. During Art Walk, each participating venue hosts a local artist outside of its storefront in Marietta Square. Commercial Commercial BONUS: Cupid Cobb Chairwoman Lisa Cupid is taking a national leadership position. Here is Matt Goldin with more. STORY 5: Pageant Young ladies from ages 3 to 24 years old are encouraged to participate in the annual beauty pageant highlighting the opening night of the North Georgia State Fair presented by Superior Plumbing on September 22. The fair, which will run for 11 days, will feature many family events, exhibits, midway rides, concerts and special attractions. North Georgia State Fair ambassadors will be named for the following titles and ages: Tiny (3-4 years old), Petite (5-7 years old), Little (8-10 years old), Junior (11-13 years old), Teen (14-16 years old) and Miss (17-24 years old). Winners will be invited to ride in area parades during the coming year. Winners will be awarded a crown, trophy, title sash, flowers and passes to the fair. The early registration fee is $65 through September 21, when there will be an optional rehearsal. Full registration of $75 will be accepted one hour prior to each pageant on September 22. The new Miss North Georgia State Fair also receives a $1,000 cash college scholarship and advances to the Georgia-South Carolina State Fairest of the Fair contest next January. The Miss first runner-up gains a $500 cash scholarship and the second runner-up wins a $250 cash scholarship. STORY 6: Kell ***Audio For He's a Jolly Good Fellow BED*** After two years without its annual honoring of retiring staff, the Cobb County School District hosted approximately 170 former staff to thank them for their years — or in most cases, decades — of service. The district annually honors its retiring staff with a luncheon at Roswell Street Baptist Church. But in 2020 and 2021, the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale and the Cobb school board invited those retirees back to be recognized. In September, the district will hold another banquet to honor the 2022 retirees. A full list of all retirees and the amount of years they served Cobb Schools can be found at MDJ Online dot Com. .

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 37! History books and curriculum are missing a lot of information. There are a plethora of moments that are ignored or not talked about in true depth. Even worse are the times throughout our history that the majority has worked to erase the history, culture, and very existence of groups like Asian Pacific Islanders. Today we begin a series of looks at those moments in U.S. history. First up, we talk about the erasing of Historic Wintersburg in Huntington Beach, California. This 4.5 acre parcel of land is a slice of Japanese American history that spans three generations from the early 1900s through the early 2000s. However, the current owners of the land, Republic Services, are trying to ignore the historical significance and turn the land into a public storage facility. There are groups working hard to preserve history, but it's an uphill battle. To support, you can always learn more about Historic Wintersburg and donate to their efforts or write directly to Republic Services with some of the linked suggested talking points. We close out the episode with the segment What Are We Watching? This week we discuss the animated feature Abominable starring the voices of Chloe Bennet, Tenzing Norgay Trainor, and Albert Tsai.

Tim Ginn, General Manager at Republic Services, shares his unique journey from politics to waste management. Tim always had an interest in how communities work and what allows them to thrive. Much of this passion came from an early age and watching his grandfather's involvement in all the small town happenings and politics. From his first job of working for a small Texas town, to helping shape policy in the Governor's office, he learned the ins and outs of keeping a community running. Helping create, shape and execute policy is no easy task, but an important one. Tim believes that folks should be involved in their communities, because after all, it is a community's direct input that ultimately shapes policy. After spending the beginning of his career in public service, Tim decided he wanted to take a more private sector approach to his passion and took a chance on waste management. Not the normal job one would get after earning an MBA, but Tim says this was one of the best decisions he has ever made. He talks about the incredible people that he gets to work with and how the tenures in this industry can be decades long, because people know they are directly making their communities better. Running a waste management operation is an enormous endeavor, that requires a balance of process and grit. Tim dives into the nuances of trash, misunderstandings about recycling and the intricacies of running a landfill. What you may not know is how waste management sites are able to gather and replenish water, as well as harvest gas for reuse. Running this operation is more like running a mini-city. Tim is excited about he future of waste management and their focus on sustainability and environmental impacts. Without the hard work of everyday folks who keep their communities clean, our world would be a very different place.
