Podcasts about teachers strike

The strike did what months of back-and-forth discussions couldn't -- improve faculty wages and working conditions.

Teachers in Newton are on strike for the fourth day. Their fight with the city over the terms of a new contract are a microcosm of tensions playing out between unions and municipalities across the commonwealth.

Portland students are settled back into classes, but there's still a lot of political dust flying around in the wake of the district's first-ever teachers strike. So today on City Cast Portland, OPB's K-12 education reporter Natalie Pate is here to share what all the major stakeholders are saying in the strike's aftermath and what it means for the future of Portland's public schools.

Also, are we as far away from a return to Stormont as we ever were?

Teachers at the Oasis Academy on Sheppey say they've suffered death threats, racism and violence from students. Sites in Minster and Sheerness have been forced to close as staff take to picket lines following a number of frightening incidents. Also in today's podcast, after the backlash over a decision to house London families in a block of flats in Medway, the local authority will now be allowed to use some of the apartments as temporary accommodation. There had been concerns over the impact an influx of extra people would have on local services. Hear from a Kent councillor who says multiple road closures are costing businesses thousands of pounds in lost trade and leaving residents angry and frustrated. People living and working in Preston, near Canterbury, say they've been forced to endure almost a dozen traffic diversions in the last 12 months. A former bodybuilder from Ashford says she's desperate to take back control of her life as chronic illness leaves her bedbound and unable to walk. She has been searching for a diagnosis and has had to raise money to seek treatment overseas after being dismissed by doctors in the UK. And, a village which has been "isolated" after losing a vital bus service is now looking forward to a new transport link. However people are being urged to use the route from New Ash Green to Dartford as much as they can, as it's running for a year as a trial.  

In this episode, Jack examines the many sources of outrage surrounding the teachers strike in Portland, and strikes in general, and schools in general, and he discusses how we can navigate these hard feelings and the powerful and often conflicting feelings of others. He describes how humor, active listening, and a healthy media diet can help power down strong emotions and enable us to face complex, confusing, highly charged issues without melting down.Segments include: - “Exiquali,” from the Zane and Dad Radio Hour, Episode 2: Habits, Tics, and Addictions- “Monkeys Dressed Like Cowboys,” Ian Karmel, recorded in the White Tiger Lounge, November 17, 2012- “Strugglin' in this Bitch,” written and recorded by Isaih JohnsonLength: 28:08

Today marks one week since Portland Public Schools teachers declared a strike and campuses have been closed. Negotiations are ongoing with no clear timeline on when an agreement will be met. In Oakland, California, a teachers strike in the spring lasted a week and a half and kept kids out of school for several days. Jill Tucker is the education reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. She joins us to share more on why teachers went on strike there and how the resolution was reached.

In this very special bonus episode, we hear from a variety of educators from the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) on the conditions that led to the historic vote to authorize a strike. With nearly 99 percent of their members voting to authorize a strike, PAT educators explain why they are on the precipice of their first strike since the formation of PAT as a union in 1966. Portland educators and students have been asked to do more with less and are impacted by large class sizes and caseloads, a lack of special education resources and support, buildings in need of repair and renovation, and historical defunding issues.

In Los Angeles, the second largest school district in the United States, 98% of teachers voted to authorize a strike. Filmmakers Yoni Golijob and Yael Bridge shadowed L.A. teachers for five months as they organize and strike, providing a unique first-hand account of collective democracy and labor action, and shedding light on the nationwide teacher strike upswell. Their film "Why We Fight" documents one of the largest educator strikes in modern U.S. history in real-time, highlighting the stories and leadership of some of the women who led it, from union leaders to classroom teachers. In our latest, we talk with Yoni and Yael, as well as LA teacher and labor leader Arlene Inouye about the 2019 and 2023 strikes, how they organized, the impacts they had on education and politics and how it fits in with the "Hot Labor Summer" we've been seeing this year. Bio// Yoni Golijov is a nonfiction filmmaker; his producing work has been nominated for the Academy Award and the BAFTA and has won an Independent Spirit Award. Yael Bridge is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker. Her first feature, The Big Scary "S" Word, explores the history and resurgence of socialism in the United States Arlene Inouye was the chair of the bargaining committee in 2019 and the last contract, 2023, and was integral to leading the strike that the film documents and the incredible solidarity strike that UTLA took this year with their SEIU school co-workers. ------------------------------------------------ Outro- "There is Power in a Union." by Utah Phillips Links// +"Why We Fight": https://www.whenwefightmovie.com/ Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/ Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at ⁠ patreon.com/greenredpodcast⁠ +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Disappointment from some primary school teachers, over some signing up after the industrial action that has brought an agreement. The Ministry and NZEI signed a pay agreement last month, which gives union members a $1500 lump sum payment. Some have complained online that some teachers have just joined up now to get the extra money. But NZEI President Mark Potter says they're happy to welcome more sign ups. "In our view, the maximum number of people we can get involved in the union the better. Because it is recognised that it is good to have a really unified, professional group."

There's a growing tide of frustrated parents demanding an end to rolling teacher strikes that have seen thousands of high school students missing valuable class time. The Ministry of Education and the Post Primary Teachers Association are back at the bargaining table today. But after the last pay offer was rejected industrial action ramped back up this week with union members refusing to teach two year levels per day, except on Fridays, for the remainder of the term. Last night we brought you the story of a Hamilton parent who's launched a petition calling for an immediate halt to rolling strikes. Other parents have joined the chorus, concerned their children are collateral damage in the industrial dispute, having already missed days of education due to covid and flooding. For some, NCEA assessments are imminent and others taking practical subjects say they haven't been able to complete course work at home. So how long can this go on? PPTA acting president Chris Abercrombie spoke to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6329461919112

We enter another week, yet another week, of industrial action. Yes, it's the teachers again. The upside is that the primary sector got themselves sorted last week. So one assumes that although they are separate claims, the broad aim is the same and one hopes a similar sort of outcome can't be far away. The primary deal seems a generous one with the one-off payments, the non-contact time and the large wage increases. Although it's well earned, I still struggle with the idea that everyone gets it, no matter how brilliant or appalling you are. It's not a world I have ever entertained entering. The union chased me at the age of 16, back in 1982 when I got my first job. They sort of assumed I would want to join and pay their fees. I didn't, of course, and it was my first encounter with the union representative at work, who became very affronted that, somehow, I couldn't see the world the way he did. This has always been the problem with unions. The moment they work out you aren't one of them, they get aggressive. There's no acceptance that there might be another way for it to work. It sort of told me, even at that age, all I needed to know about unions and their modus operandi. Anyway, as a parent I can tell you I am well and truly over it. School is important and we have a daughter who thinks school is important. I know it's unfashionable these days to think that way, far less want to turn up regularly. But this generation have been shafted in the most appalling way. Between covid and lockdowns and illness and strikes, the amount of school that has been missed is criminal. You can't encourage success if you can't be bothered opening the gates. And this week, yet again, we stay at home. In my entire life, as a student and as a parent, teachers have not been happy. No one in unionised employment has been happy, so what does that say about the model? Mix in the fact that our education system, in terms of performance and results, is now criminally bad and it's not a great advertisement. Yet again they're expecting parents to find kid cover and, more importantly, yet again they expect kids to stay away while teachers prioritise their circumstances.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Hump Day! Sam hosts Anjeanette Damon, government accountability reporter in ProPublica's Southwest Office, and Byard Duncan, engagement reporter also at ProPublica, to discuss their recent piece entitled "The Ugly Truth Behind “We Buy Ugly Houses”. Then, Sam is joined by Vilma Serrano of the Oakland Education Association (OEA), to discuss the recent agreement struck between striking teachers and the school district. First, Sam runs through updates on Democrats' victories in yesterday's special elections, debt ceiling discussions, a potential expulsion of George Santos, the continuing abuse of Dianne Feinstein, North Carolina's abortion ban, and Missouri's reversal of a trans healthcare ban, before diving into the alleged sale of pardons by Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump. Anjeanette Damon and Byard Duncan then join as they dive right into “We Buy Houses” and the franchises of the house wholesale industry, with individuals buying into the branding and advertising system that the national company offers to jumpstart their legitimacy, before looking to their practice of targeting homeowners that simultaneously find themselves in an insecure situation while also maintaining a higher home equity rate, allowing these seemingly “legitimate” (though largely unlicensed and unregulated) brokers to frame the sale around their debts and expenses rather than the actual worth of the house. Stepping back, Damon and Duncan explore the lack of regulation and licensing requirements in the cash-focused house wholesaler industry, as well as the actual practice of wholesaling, before wrapping up by tackling the massive information asymmetry on housing data and how the housing flipping industry aims to keep it that way. Vilma Serrano jumps right into the recent 7-day strike by the Oakland Education Association, walking through the need for the wholesale rebuilding of the Oakland public school system, and the 7 months of fruitless negotiations on the matter, also touching on the major issues at hand, and how the union hopes to address them. Expanding on this, Serrano and Sam tackle the rise of Social Unionism, and the importance of fighting for broader community needs, before wrapping up the interview by parsing through the destructive effect of Bill Gates' education reform movement. And in the Fun Half: Sam dives into the Right's ridiculous attempts to keep the Durham investigation drama alive, from Tommy Tuberville's “don't ask don't tell” tactic to Tim Pool's bank heist analogy, and touches on the North Carolina abortion ban. August from the Finger Lakes brings up the supposed redemption of George W. Bush, Liam from Portland explores class' role in intersectionality, and Austin from Georgia discusses Cop City, and police “justice.” Mike from Philly brings Marianne Williamson into the mix, and the MR Crew dives into Elon Musk's “White Supremacy's violence is a psyop, actually” take, plus, your calls and IMs!

With just a couple of weeks left in the school year, there may be progress in the negotiations between the Oakland Unified School District and its teachers union, but as the strike enters day 5, it's causing mixed feelings in the broader community. Chronicle reporter Jill Tucker joins host Cecilia Lei to discuss how the bargaining process is going, why the "common goods" proposal is making this strike unique, and how graduating seniors are feeling about potentially ending their high school careers away from their classrooms. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?

Thousands of Oakland teachers went on strike this week, and by their side were students, parents, allies and supporters calling for change.  In this episode of Bay Current, we take a look back at the past couple of days on the picket line and what we can expect heading into the weekend.

On Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, we discuss teachers leaving pupils high and dry over the exam period as NEU members walk out for the sixth time, Britain's top cop clashes with Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson, the UK is accused of delaying German efforts in the shambolic Sudan evacuations, Health officials 'raised concerns' over Steve Barclay's behaviour and crime correspondent Martin Brunt has released a new book detailing his extraordinary career.

LA teachers only care about money and their actions show it; the NEA wants parents out of the way; a Michigan university segregates white males for graduation; and the ongoing government show regarding the jabs and their effects.

This hour we go over the teachers strike and hear form some of them to help explain it more and try to give one Ally's money

Over the next couple of months, thousands of teachers are due to strike across the UK. What is the government doing in response to their demand for an above-inflation pay increase? Jessica Elgot reports. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus
