Podcasts about striketober

From "Hot Labor Summer" to "Striketober," 2023 was another big year for workers joining picket lines. Today on the show, we'll dig into two recent reports that shed light on the state of labor unrest in the U.S.. We'll look at what industries are driving this trend, how workers are feeling about their jobs and what that says about the American labor movement.

BrownTown chops it up about WORK. Building on previous episodes about labor, unions, and trying to do liberatory work within capitalism, BrownTown contextualizes recent inflation hikes, the state of "hustle culture," and the seven-decade growth of corporate profits on the backs of the working class. While the majority of adults WORK, the propaganda that you must "earn" the right to live and be productive constantly in order to have any value has normalized harmful policies, language, and attitudes towards one another. Though COVID, the great resignation, Striketober, and other large phenomena have chipped the armor of capitalist logics and apparatuses, how do we better utilize that energy to sustain better material conditions forever and for always? Originally recorded October 25, 2022. “The reason all workers deserve a living wage is because all workers have to be alive.

The Great Resignation, also known as the Big Quit, is an economic trend in which employees voluntarily resign from their jobs en masse, beginning in early 2021, primarily in the United States. It has been said the trend is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American government refusing to provide necessary worker protections, and wage stagnation despite a rising cost of living. Some economists have described the Great Resignation as a kind of general strike while discussing Striketober, a wave of strikes in October 2021.Sign up for a free 30-day trial of the SNS Global Report - The world's most reliable source of advanced information at the intersection of technology and the economy for 25 years. https://www.stratnews.com/subscribe/

On this week's show, Building Bridges Radio reports from a late December rally for Amazon workers in New York City…On the Belabored podcast, a discussion on the so-called Great Resignation, Striketober, and other developments in the labor movement in the pandemic era… Then we take you to the ground level of the American labor movement with four brief excerpts from podcasts that either feature a guest from a local union or podcasts produced by local unions: UFCW Local 152 Assistant Director of Organizing Hugh Giordano talks with host Ed “Flash” Ferrence on America's Work Force Radio Podcast; we find out about challenges facing the leaders and members of UAW Local 2209 in Fort Wayne, Indiana on the local's podcast, Trucked Up; on the 141 Report, Machinist union leaders try out different communication tools to build membership participation; the construction industry has one of the highest rates of suicide of any occupation, yet the stigma of admitting mental health issues keeps many from getting the help they need: Breaking Ground, the podcast from Operating Engineers Local 3, explores the issue. The AFT's Union Talk podcast explores how the right wing has used Critical Race Theory and the pandemic to drive a wedge between parents and teachers and how to rehabilitate that relationship; Heather McGhee, author of “The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone” on “Racism in our politics and in our policy making is why all of us can't have nice things,” on the Heartland Labor Forum. Heather Berg talks about sex, labor, and late capitalism on the Reinventing Solidarity podcast…The Art and Labor podcast tackles NFTs, DAOs, crypto currency and teleology, and, from the On The Job podcast, we find out about the historic Australian female labor activist who chained herself to a building in downtown Melbourne in 1969. 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. #LaborRadioPod @AFLCIO @bbridgesradio @DissentMag @AWFUnionPodcast @UAW_Local_2209 @IAMDistrict141 @aftunion @Heartland_Labor @CunySLU @ArtandLaborPod @SaintFrankly @sallyrugg Edited by Patrick Dixon and Mel Smith; produced by Chris Garlock; social media guru Mr. Harold Phillips.

Brandon and Bryant were both hung over for this recording and Conner couldn't make it, so fair warning this one is a little more scatter-brained than normal. After getting caught up on our project cars we talk about the IATSI and John Deer strikes (23:46), before discussing what cars we would build if money was no object (46:00). Plus tangents on electric drag racing, the Pike's Peak Hill Climb, Ford big blocks, and upbeat songs with tragic lyrics.

Due to COVID awfulness, we're counting our 6-hour livestream fundraiser for striking Kellogg's workers as the official finale of Season Four of Working People (woo!). Thank you all for listening to and supporting our work over the past year.  We're getting some much-needed rest and gearing up for Season Five. In the meantime, we're ringing in the new year by unlocking this special bonus episode—enjoy! And happy 2022! All power to the workers! 2021 was an energizing year for a labor movement that has had its back against the wall for a long time. From record numbers of American workers voluntarily quitting their jobs to publicly supported strikes and unionization drives in different sectors of the economy, more and more working people are taking action and standing up for themselves. But this is just the beginning—there's still a lot of work to do, and 2022 will provide a crucial test for the labor movement and its supporters. In this special panel episode of Working People, originally published in November as a bonus episode for patrons, we talk to three full-time union organizers—Puja Datta (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees), Margaret McLaughlin (United University Professions), and Diana Hussein (UNITE HERE)—about what Striketober and 2021 in general have meant for the labor movement. We also talk about the day-to-day work of being a union organizer, where the labor movement goes from here, and what you can do to build working-class power. Additional links/info below...

In Part 1, we covered the January 6th fascist attack on the U.S. Capital, the first year of the Biden administration, the conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, ongoing cases of police terror and murder, including here in DC. And, finally, we began our discussion of international news with our geopolitical analyst professor Gerald Horne breaking down the latest on the triangular relationship BETWEEN the United States, Russia and China. In Part 2, we pick up that discussion, starting with the victory of Gabriel Boric and progressive forces in Chile over a far-right follower of the former U.S. backed dictator Augusto Pinochet. Also, labor victories and struggles, and the fight for Voting Rights and other basics of American democracy.   The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people's voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.

For the last episode of Work Stoppage of 2021, we decided to take a look back at the stories and trends that we covered in the labor movement this year. We discuss the first major efforts at unionizing Amazon [7:00-24:11], the ways in which OSHA let workers down [24:12-35:19], and the many companies that put forward a "progressive" image only to use the same union busting tactics of every other company [35:20-51:35]. We also talk about the unfortunately large number of stories we covered this year on modern slavery [51:36-1:02:49], the year long struggle and triumph of the Indian Farmers Movement [1:02:50-1:15:51], and finally the fall upsurge in the labor movement here in the US during "Striketober" [1:15:52-1:25:30]. We try and draw what lessons we can take from these major trends labor took in 2021, and look ahead to what might be in store for 2022. As always, thank you to all our listeners, we love doing the show and look forward to another year covering the labor movement!

This week's show explores the question of how “Striketober” and “The Great Resignation” happened simultaneously. Union organizing and strikes surged this Fall while millions of workers quit their jobs. Labor historian Gabriel Winant spoke about “Putting the current labor upheaval in historical context” at a December 10 labor history discussion hosted by the East Side Freedom Library in St Paul, Minnesota. Winant is the author of The Next Shift: The Fall of Manufacturing and the Rise of Health Care in Rust Belt America and his latest essay, Strike Wave, was published in the British journal New Left Review in late November. Winant's historical perspective seems especially useful as we look ahead to a new year and a rejuvenated labor movement, and we've included an inspiring report on local organizing in St Paul bookstores: these are the sparks that are firing the tinder of worker discontent across the country. On this week's Labor History in Two: the year was 1945. That was the day workers ended their ninety-nine-day strike against the Ford Motor Company in Windsor, Ontario.

In the early morning hours of Saturday, November 13, United Steelworkers Local 7600 reached a tentative agreement with health care giant Kaiser Permanente, preventing an impending strike.

Today, we're sitting down to talk with Local 7600 President Micheal Barnett and Vice President Norberto Gomez about this monumental fight that brought thousands of health care workers together to win this contract and what the local's plans are for the future.

We are excited to share with our supporters that we have returned to terrestrial radio – bigger and better than ever.  For November, we have this soft relaunch on WZZA – a black owned news and soul station in Muscle Shoals, the area of Alabama with the highest union density in the country.   We returned to the airways on Tuesday, November 9 at 4pm.  This is that broadcast.Then, in December, we'll be on four more commercial radio stations in the following cities: Huntsville (our old home station WVNN), Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile. Because we were not on the air in October (which was very disappointing not be on the radio during STRIKETOBER) ,  payments have been paused on Patreon – billing will resume in November (accounts will be charged on December 1).  If you are part of an organization that would be interested in advertising – please do reach out! Being on so many more stations will greatly increase our operating costs.  We are very excited to get back on the radio – we hope y'all are too.  Solidarity forever. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In this episode I focused on the strikes that happened across the nation in the month of October. Something that people don't realize is that unions created the American middle class. We talked about the effects of workers rights, the middle class, the destruction of the American family unit and American dream.

“We can't survive doing the work that we're asked to do, the way that we're being asked to do it, with the lack of support we're being asked to do it with,” says healthcare worker Nicole Brun-Cottan. Tens of thousands of nurses and other healthcare workers in the Kaiser Permanente health care system are poised to go on strike. In this Striketober episode, Kelly talks with three nurses who are ready to go on strike about what's at stake in their struggle, and how the pandemic has affected frontline labor. You can find a transcript, audio and show notes on our website.

Television and video productions create the stories that we all love, from Hollywood blockbusters to runaway cult classic television shows.  The wave of strikes and strike authorizations now known as Striketober was significantly propelled this month by IATSE members across the country and in Oregon demanding several on and off-set basics: Fair wages and rest breaks to name a few.  While their contract was settled with a recent tentative agreement at the bargaining table, Striketober continues. We're seeing workers stand up and fight for fair contracts across the county, and basic workplace safety is critical for a fair contract. Tragically, the need for ever present safety on film productions was demonstrated by the tragic on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last week.  As we know, when experts are hired and workers have a voice on the job, workplace safety improves and that idea has become part of the national dialogue in the past week. Joining our podcast this month to discuss Striketober, workplace safety and what it means to work on films as a union studio mechanic is cdavid cotrill, Southern Business Agent for IATSE Local 488. Hosted by  Oregon AFL-CIO Communications Director Russell SandersIntroduction by Oregon AFL-CIO President Graham Trainor

Would China and the U.S. go to war over Taiwan? Fareed talks to Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Oriana Skylar Mastro of The American Enterprise Institute about the complex relationship the U.S. must navigate between China and Taiwan. Haass also reflects on the complicated legacy of his former boss at the State Department, the late Gen. Colin Powell. Then, David Sanger, national security correspondent for the New York Times, explains why China's hypersonic missile testing is a significant step towards a potential twenty-first century arms race. As Germany bids auf wiedersehen to long-time Chancellor Angela Merkel, Kati Marton, journalist and author of the new book “The Chancellor,” tells Fareed about the qualities that made Merkel such a powerful chancellor and the legacy she leaves behind. Plus, Fareed checks in with Mahbouba Seraj, the founder of the Afghan Women's Network. Seraj is still in Kabul and tells Fareed what life in the nation is like, 10 weeks after the Taliban took over. Lastly, Fareed looks at what some are calling “Striketober” — the rash of strikes and other labor problems around America - and why it actually might be a net positive for labor, business, and the American economy.

On today's episode of Women Fight Back we continue on with Striketober! Workers struggles are heating up, and internal struggles within the union are growing. We are joined by Evangeline Byars, the first woman to run for President of TWULocal100 the Largest Transport Workers Union in America. Evangeline is fighting back against corruption in the union with a campaign to revitalize the labor movement and fight for workers power. However, she has been disqualified from running and is speaking out about this sabotage. Mark Zuckerberg has officially decided to go full Matrix. In true sci-fi fashion, Facebook is rebranding from a social media company to a “metaverse” company. What is a metaverse and why is this an important development in late stage capitalism? We are joined by Chris Garraffa editor of techforthepeople.org to find out.To top off this exploration of the capitalist hell-scape the hosts of Women Fight Back discuss the Squid Game and why millions of working class people around the globe resonated with this dystopian capitalist reality.

Over the past month, we've seen #Striketober take form. Workers all over the United States are forming unions, going on strike, and demanding better working conditions from their employers. One such movement is the #IATSE strike, or The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. These workers produce all of the TV, movies, and other on-screen entertainment that we love, including Star Trek. To show solidarity with these workers, we've invited our comrade Will, AKA The Star Trek Communist, for back-to-back episodes to get into all the details. Listen as we talk about: The growing labor movement across the country - and the world Why is worker solidarity so important? What are some examples of labor movements from Star Trek?

At this very moment, 10,000 UAW members at John Deere are on strike in Iowa, Illinois, and Kansas; 35,000 healthcare workers at Kaiser Permanente have authorized a strike; 1,400 workers at cereal giant Kellogg's are on strike in Nebraska, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee; 1,100 coal miners in Alabama have been on strike since April; 800 nurses in Massachusetts have been on strike since March; and many other strikes and strike authorizations are also unfolding. On top of that, record numbers of US workers are voluntarily quitting their jobs, in what is being called the “Great Resignation.” Something is happening here. How should we understand this pivotal moment of labor strife? And what could this moment become if the working class gets more organized and more militant?In this segment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc talks about Striketober, the “Great Resignation,” labor militancy, and the importance of bottom-up organizing with longtime labor organizer Alex Han. Han is a former union leader who has spent 20 years organizing in the labor movement; he is the Bargaining for the Common Good Fellow at the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University. Tune in for new episodes of The Marc Steiner Show every Tuesday on TRNN.Pre-Production/Studio/Post Production: Stephen Frank

In this week's episode, Dan covers the ongoing shortage of goods due to the supply chain crisis and the ongoing strikes across the country.

On today's LIVE episode, we discussed worker strikes across the US and the economic impact. Is this good for workers, good for the economy or not?Then we cover former fed chair Alan Greenspan and statements attributed to him on job insecurity and inflation. Was Greenspan right? What happens to labor when they exercise power and why host Eric Darnley Small (@ericdsmall) believes labor is the key to winning in 2022 and 2024. Then, Theranos trial continues tomorrow. We do a deep dive and analysis on the case. Was Elizabeth Holmes a scam artist or was she "faking it till she made it"? Finally, the Ahmed Arbury trial begins. What happened in Georgia and what is the case against the three men involved?

Tens of thousands of workers have either gone on strike or are about to across a wide swath on industries, exasperating the massive inflation and shortages problems we already have. In some cases the workers have a valid point. In others they are probably asking for too much. In either case damage is being done at a time when we cannot afford it, and the likes of AOC and others have gotten #striketober to trend, making matters worse. Walls are up and the divide is great in many of these disputes. We dig into four specific situations with John Deere, Kelloggs, IATSE, and Kaiser Permanente, calling balls and strikes as we see them. In every case, one side (or both) doesn't understand math very well. We grapple with this messy subject in this Sunday Discussion episode of The Soule of Wisdom.

On today's episode of Women Fight Back,  in historic numbers workers go on strike this STRIKETOBER! Workers across the country from John Deere, Hollywood film studios, Mercy Hospital, Kellogg's cereal, and more are either on strike  or preparing for one. This is the first time we have seen such a significant number of workers on strike at the same time since the 1980's. We are joined by Rhiannea Shaheen, Local 871 member, 5-year film industry worker and Yasemin Zahra, the Chairwoman of Labor Against Racism and War.
