Podcasts about Stick Together

On this week's edition of the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: From Tucson to Melbourne to Vancouver, workers are rising up—and their stories are being told. We start with Words and Work, where Bookmans employees in Arizona walk off the job, demanding movement at the bargaining table. “If they're not going to make a motion,” one worker says, “we're going to make a motion.” On Working People, student hunger strikers at the University of Oregon connect their campus protest to the starvation crisis in Gaza, calling it not only physical destruction—but cultural erasure. Down under, Stick Together brings us to a pastry factory in Melbourne, where bakery workers making muffins, donuts, and Australia's famous Woolworths mud cakes go on strike for fair pay—and win a seat at the table through collective action. From Roswell Hub, we explore what it means when your workplace relocates—sometimes a blessing, sometimes a life-altering burden—and what unions can do to protect workers when buildings close or operations shift. And on On the Line, we travel back to WWII-era Vancouver, where women known as “conductor-ettes” defied gender roles—and unruly passengers—to keep the streetcars running while the men were at war.

Labor History Today: This week's edition of the show takes us to Australia, but the history of slavery and the ongoing failure to come to terms with the resulting racism and discrimination there echo uncomfortably loudly here in the United States as Donald Trump ramps up his campaign to stamp out any effort to acknowledge that such things exist, as though by simply abolishing the words diversity, equity and inclusion we can magically erase generations of oppression. It cannot do so, but we clearly have a long way to go here at home, and it's instructive – and a bit inspiring -- to hear how our brothers and sisters Down Under are struggling with the same issues. Today's show comes to us from the Melbourne-based radio show Stick Together; host James Brennan talks with author Santilla Chingaipe about her book “Black Convicts: How slavery shaped Australia.” Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor. @stick__together #LaborRadioPod #History #WorkingClass #ClassStruggle @GeorgetownKILWP #LaborHistory @UMDMLA @ILLaborHistory @AFLCIO @StrikeHistory #LaborHistory @wrkclasshistory

On this week's Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: Fedrick Ingram, Secretary-Treasurer of the American Federation of Teachers, joins the

We should all be watching and listing to Davy Jones. Davy came into this conversation with more nuggets about organizing, connecting, and taking a stand against organizations than almost any other guest I have had on this podcast.I can't wait for you to listen.KEY TAKEAWAYS *First, I would just really love to mention that the UK has a labor union for yoga pros. This is a thing that happens around the world, and I am excited to explore this conversation more in the coming months.*In spite of many objections by SO many (really SO SO many) people I have talked to in the yoga space, a union actually could help yoga professionals in North America. The union could do for us what it does for UK workers–provide advocacy, health insurance, support, and accountability for the profession of yoga. Collectively, we are better together. Unions can be part of our solution.*Ever since I started getting involved with advocacy work in regards to the IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists) people keep asking me some variation of the same question. “Are YOU starting an organization?” But this begs the question I asked Davy about the British Wheel of Yoga. What is the point of an organization? We have a lot of orgs that claim to be doing good work in the field, but very few can come to the table with receipts. The British Wheel of Yoga is just one of many in this regard.*Building community and service into our business models is SO crucial for aligning our businesses with yogic principles. It is inevitable that we will need to price our services in such a way that we make enough money to keep our doors open, but unpacking the question of how we give back is key to going forward in our industry with integrity and respect for the tradition and practice of yoga.*UK Community Outreach Network is the coolest idea I have heard in such a long time. Honestly, can I interview everyone who is involved in this so we can tell the world how it works? Please? Also, does anyone in the States want to work on this with me?*Let's chat about an organization that keeps our students safe. What does this look like? How can we support this sort of organization? *I don't know how many times I have referenced BREWED, a program I do at my studio for studentship, but please go ahead and steal my idea. Studentship courses can offer people a deeper understanding of yoga and yogic principles without actually needing to train people to be yoga teachers. *What do you feel about regulation in our industry? I do truly believe that we are doing good enough work to stand up overall regulation as an industry. Does that mean licensing? I don't know if that is the answer but we certainly can stand up to general oversight as an industry.*We ARE part of the solution of the crisis of public health. Davy could not have said that better. When you are feeling down, please remember that. RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterDavy's Website Brighton Yoga Foundation

Deeply emotive and engaging, the collaboration between Swiss collective Project Indigo and Hame feels destined. It wasn't a matter of "if," but "when." The EP Self Expression will be released on December 27th, available in both digital and vinyl formats. The final track, Stick Together, showcases Hame's natural ability to pull on the heartstrings. With warm pads and recurring hooks, each layered with rich bass and presence, the track takes us from deep contemplation to an irresistible urge to dance—swaying side to side for one last dance as the EP comes to a close. Elegant, deep, minimal house music. Hame and Project Indigo are meant to be. Their partnership reflects a shared vision, and we believe there is more to come from them together. @hame-compathy @projindigo www.instagram.com/hame.compathy/ www.instagram.com/projindigo/ Write up by @danpeplow Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed

Tragedy struck our community. Now, we come together to rebuild.

This week we welcome the iconic fashion guru, Derek Warburton and we dive into a whirlwind of heartfelt stories, profound insights, and unique philosophies that define the essence of our personal and professional lives. Everything with Derek sharing intriguing details about his latest campaign and revisits a memorable fashion shoot with the late actress, Anne Heche and Derek's philosophy of striving to be “The Only” rather than “The Best” offering a fresh perspective on success and uniqueness in the competitive world of fashion. We take you to the origins of Guru Magazine, revealing the creative process behind its inception and the significance of its first cover feature. A shared nostalgia as we reminisce about recognizability in Beverly Hills and the memorable moments of filming the film, Sarogeto, in the Pol' Atteu custom couture boutique. The film's unique casting sees Pol' stepping into the shoes of an assistant to Derek, who plays the real-life ‘Pol Atteu', AKA: an international fashion designer adding a meta-layer to the storytelling. We gracefully navigate through a spectrum of topics, from Pol's mystical Armenian heritage that enables him to read futures in coffee cup grinds, to poignant discussions about the public scrutiny faced by Anna Nicole Smith and Anne Heche following their tragic deaths. We share personal anecdotes and insights into the media's rush to judgment, emphasizing concerns for the individuals' families over sensationalist narratives. Derek opens up about his healing journey in Long Beach and his thoughts on media outlets, further enriching the conversation with his philosophy on being a “unicorn” - a symbol for those who feel unseen and their collective strength when united. The episode culminates in an exploration of Derek's contributions to the fashion industry, including his voluntary work for Beyoncé's House of Dereon, and wraps up with candid discussions on celebrity interactions, friendships, and the impactful memories of loved ones lost. Before we end the episode with part one of Derek's Armenian Coffee Reading, we get into our celebrity interactions with AnnaLynne Mccord, Christine Quinn and the Queen Bee herself, Beyonce. Our Haute topics we discuss are Richard Simmons “I'm Dying” post that caused an uproar, Bruce Willis' dementia diagnosis and Eva Longoria's 50-million-dollar payday, courtesy of Jeff Bezos. Derek's first half of his Armenian coffee reading once again is spot on and offers some very interesting and enlghtening insights into what has happened in the past in his life that has completely changed his entire outlook on life, relationships and future endeavors.

Once again, for all CHP listeners, I'm featuring the latest episode of the Chinese Sayings Podcast. It's said that we human beings have been called social animals by nature. Some of us love other kinds of people more than others do. But no matter how enamored one might be about another culture, nation, or people, we all tend to stick with our own kind. This 4th Century BC Chinese Saying comes from "The Strategies of the Warring States." and concerns the witty and capable minister to King Wei of Qi and his son King Xuan: Chunyu Kun. King Xuan needed to round up several talented souls to help him manage the Kingdom of Qi, where the stunning and beautiful Shandong Peninsula is located. Answering the king's call, Chunyu Kun gathered a whole bunch of worthy and talented men and schooled the king about how easy it was to find them. This is the story behind Wù Yǐ Lèi Jù 物以类聚. I also mentioned another chengyu that goes along with this episode: yīmíng jīngrén 一鸣惊人. You get that one too, at no extra cost, I might add. Only two more episodes to go for this season. Like last time in Season 7, be looking for un episodio extra especial featuring our hardworking and brilliant 领导 of the 成语研究中心 in Beijing: Emma. Looking forward to seeing some of you in Hong Kong during my few days there. My deepest gratitude for listening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
