Welcome to episode 600 of the Automotive Troublemaker. Today we dive into how GM seems to be fine after the UAW strike, how dealership values are staying strong, and how Wegmans is trying to change the way we shop for groceries.General Motors emerges from a costly six-week UAW strike, projecting strong profits for 2023. Despite increased labor costs, GM's strategic planning and stock buyback indicate a robust financial future.GM suffered a $1.1 billion hit due to the UAW strike but forecasts a $9.1B-$9.7B net income for 2023.The company plans a $10 billion share buyback and a 33% dividend increase, reflecting confidence in its financial health.The new contracts with UAW and Unifor are expected to raise GM's North American labor costs by $1.5 billion in 2024.GM's stock rose 8.9% in premarket trading, signaling investor optimism.“I am confident in our ability to continue generating significant free cash flow as we make the EV transition” stated CEO Mary Barra.Despite a dip in dealership values in 2023, the market remains robust, with dealership buy-sell activity and profits significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels, as reported by Haig Partners.Blue sky values have decreased by 12% since 2022 but are still over double pre-pandemic levels and 2023 is on track to be the third most active year for dealership transactions, fueled by 385 transactions through the end of Q3.High demand persists for dealerships in fast growing regions with “pro-business climates”, with the report citing recent record sales in South Florida and pending sales that will set record-high values for their brands.Publicly traded dealer groups saw a 92% drop in domestic dealership acquisition spending in Q3, but overall spending remains high.Fixed operations continue to drive profits, with a 9% year-over-year increase in gross profit.The brand with the most interested buyers is Toyota.Wegmans has opened a novel hybrid supermarket/food hall in Manhattan, signifying a shift in the grocery industry towards multi-functional, community-oriented spaces.The new Astor Place store in NYC features a unique blend of grocery and food hall concepts, offering diverse food options, such as a sushi bar, bakery, fish market sourcing selections directly from Japan, and a pre-made salad area.This shift caters to consumer preferences for convenience, with supermarkets offering restaurant meals, meal kits, and ready-to-eat options.Consumers often prefer to eat out rather than cook on their shopping days, which has prompted a rise in demand for hot food options in supermarkets, according to Atul Sood, chief business officer at Kitchen United.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. After a reflection on Sam's birthday (today!) and the anniversary of Mike Cernovich's attempted cancellation of Sam, he and Emma take a look at a report, first seen on an Israeli public broadcast then translated by the Times of Israel, that Prime Minister Netanyahu appealed to members of the Likud Party that, basically, he has no allegiance to President Biden and will do whatever he wants when it comes to Gaza. Wonder how folks in the Biden administration feel about that! Then, they break down Moore v. United States, a case the Supreme Court will hear in the next few weeks that would essentially, before it'd even have a chance to become government policy, foreclose the possibility of a wealth tax in this country. After, they touch on a report from the Seattle Times on local Macy's worker walking off the job for better pay but (surprise!) also due to fears for their safety because the business they work for isn't interested in actually creating a safe working environment free from threats of shoplifting and other issues retail workers have to face on a daily basis (and we thought business owners cared about crime!) And in the Fun Half, Sam and Emma check in on the tuxedoed former Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, at a debate with the Oxford Union where he, and stop me if you've heard this before, ahistorically claims that the U.S. has NEVER asked for land during an armed conflict (wonder why they never asked)! Then, they check in on UAW president Shawn Fain, already making plans for huge labor organizing efforts in May Day of 2028, 6 months before the next presidential election and coinciding with when the UAW's next contract runs out. Sam, Emma, and the MR Crew then check in on Biden's approval ratings surrounding the economy (not good!) and what, if anything, he can do to improve on those poll numbers (maybe...run on something? Anything?) And FINALLY, courtesy of Ronald Raygun, Sam gets a very special birthday present: the opportunity to appear LIVE on Dennis Prager's show! Plus, your calls & IM's!

What the end of the UAW strike says about the future of the auto industry. Read more:After six weeks on strike, the United Auto Workers reached a deal this month with the Big 3 automakers: GM, Ford and Stellantis. The union successfully negotiated for major improvements, including wage increases, cost of living adjustments, and larger contributions to retirement plans. Jeanne Whalen, The Post's global business reporter, says the wins are already changing the wider auto industry. Today, we break down how the UAW managed to make such large gains and how their strike fits into a strong year for organized labor.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

"Rather than viewing strikes as a last-resort bargaining tactic, the labor movement must embrace them as engines of political transformation." Erik Baker, an American historian, associate editor at The Drift, and a former UAW staff organizer, joins Laborwave to discuss his article for Jewish Currents, Revaluing the Strike. You can read the full article at https://jewishcurrents.org/revaluing-the-strike

Ralph is joined by author and human rights activist Miko Peled. They discuss the excuses that Israel uses to defend the atrocities they commit against Palestinians, and the truth behind all the propaganda. Miko Peled is an author, writer, speaker, and human rights activist living in the United States. He is considered by many to be one of the clearest voices calling for justice in Palestine, support of the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and the creation of a single democracy with equal rights in all of historic Palestine. Mr. Peled was born and raised in Jerusalem. His grandfather was a signer of the Israeli Declaration of Independence and his father was a general in the 1967 war. Anybody who is not courageous enough to stand up and speak the truth and stand up for what is right, because they might be called this name or that name—it's cowardice, it's hypocrisy. Being called antisemitic is a small price to pay when you talk about standing for the rights of millions of people who have been living under such terror for so many decades.Miko Peled This is pure revenge. What we're seeing is vengeance of a military force and a state that have been humiliated. And just like any bully, any gangster who's been humiliated, they take it out on the weakest people they can find, people who cannot defend themselves… It's revenge for the sake of revenge. It's savagery for the sake of savagery. It's brutality in its purest form. There's no other reason than the brutality itself. Miko Peled Palestinians deserve nothing less than the lifting of the siege, release of all prisoners, and the dismantling of the apartheid state. Nothing less than that should be demanded. And all we're seeing people talk about is ceasefires, as though a ceasefire is some great accomplishment. Ceasefire does not provide the possibility of a future where this is not repeated. What needs to be demanded now is a political solution that will ensure the safety and security of Palestinians—and that is never part of the conversation. A ceasefire does not secure the lives or the security of Palestinians, because we know Israel will violate it a week later. Miko Peled It's not going to collapse because Israelis agree. It's not going to collapse because Israelis wake up one morning in a good mood. Israel is going to have to be forced on its knees. Just like in South Africa, whites in South Africa were on their knees. We're talking about severe sanctions. We're talking about closing down all diplomatic missions. We're talking about not allowing Israelis to participate in sporting events, cultural events, any events, academic arenas. They need to be shunned. Israeli society and the apartheid state that they created need to be brought on their knees.Miko Peled In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. The Intercept's Prem Thakker reports 43 members of Congress now support a ceasefire. Some notable additions in recent days include Reps. Becca Balint, Sara Jacobs and Jamie Raskin, the first Jewish members to call for a ceasefire, and Jeff Merkley, the second Senator to call for a ceasefire. Pressure continues to mount on Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but they still do not support a ceasefire. And the LA Times editorial board has become the first in the nation to call for a ceasefire.2. According to Time, Reporters Without Borders has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court for war crimes committed against Palestinian journalists in Gaza. The complaint cites the "deliberate, total or partial, destruction of the premises of more than 50 media outlets in Gaza." This crisis will likely prove decisive for the legitimacy of the ICC, as several countries including South Africa, have alleged that the court is biased in favor of western-aligned governments.3. Haaretz reports former Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, who crafted the “Leahy Law” which prohibits U.S. military assistance to foreign security forces that violate human rights, has gone on record saying that the U.S. routinely ignores Israeli human rights abuses. Leahy said “it appears to me that shooting civilians and targeting civilian infrastructure, when you can't prove it is being used by Hamas, would be a violation of human rights…What is being done to apply the Leahy law now? I don't know. I know past administrations have been too concerned to do it. It should apply to the Israeli Defense Forces, unless the administration, as many have, has waived it."4. While not calling for a ceasefire, both Bernie Sanders and President Biden have announced plans to reshape military aid to Israel. Senator Sanders has put forth a plan to condition military aid upon multiple criteria including “the right of displaced Gazans to return to their homes” and “an end to settler violence in the West Bank.” Barak Ravid reports President Biden is considering imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers – who have long operated with legal impunity – threatening to ban visas for violent Israeli extremists in the West Bank. Ravid adds this would be the “1st time the U.S. [has] publicly consider[ed] individual sanctions against settlers.”5. KCRA reports The California Democratic convention was interrupted at multiple points by demonstrators demanding the candidates to fill Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat call for a ceasefire. Rep. Barbara Lee has done so, but not Reps. Katie Porter or Adam Schiff. Barbara Lee won the most votes at the convention, but fell short of the 60% threshold required to get the formal endorsement of the state party.6. A stunning ceasefire protest in the Bay Area saw activists park their cars on the bay bridge, then throw their keys into the water below – making it impossible for them or the police to move the vehicles, per FOX 8. Another protest at the DNC resulted in a police crackdown leaving 90 protesters injured, per the Guardian. Yet another protest at DC's Union Station resulted in 3 arrests on vandalism charges for protesters leaving bloody handprints on the inside of the station, per WTOP. Expect these disruption tactics to escalate as political leaders continue to ignore demands for a ceasefire.7. While many colleges are clamping down on pro-Palestine protests, Ryan Grim reports Occidental has set the model for engagement with student activists. The college announced that, following a student occupation of the administration office, they would pursue a dialogue with the student activists. Both the students and the administration stressed that Barack Obama got his start in activism at Occidental, pressuring the administration to divest from apartheid South Africa.8. In other news, Bloomberg reports the Public Prosecutor's office in Guatemala has conducted raids and arrests of Semilla party members. Semilla candidate Bernardo Arevalo was elected earlier this year, successfully, dealing a rare defeat to the openly corrupt political establishment in that country. The Public Prosecutor's office also announced that they will file charges against Arevalo, his vice-president elect, and several Semilla congressmen. The State Department has decried this move and is seeking to “Impose Additional Visa Restrictions in Response to Anti-Democratic Actions in Guatemala.” 9. Finally, More Perfect Union reports that “For the first time ever, U.S. auto workers have gotten a shuttered factory reopened. Workers at the massive Belvidere [Illinois] Jeep plant were laid off or told to relocate in March. Now the plant is not only reopening — @UAW won three times as many jobs and a $30/hour wage floor.” This stunning victory shows what is possible in terms of revitalizing domestic manufacturing with a renewed labor movement. And that is something we can all be thankful for.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

On Tuesday, November 21st, the UAW announced that workers at the Big Three American automakers have ratified their new contract, and anti-union Tesla is facing a growing strike in Sweden. Ray Briare has the story.

In this podcast, we dived into the aftermath of the UAW strikes, securing pay increases for assembly workers. However, the often-overlooked auto mechanics face a different reality, earning a median salary of $46,880. In Ontario, California, the average hourly pay is $23.56, with substantial room for advancement. Lucrative roles like Engineer Equipment Mechanic offer competitive salaries. As the auto industry evolves, opportunities for well-paying careers in mechanics continue to grow but yet mechanics continue to walk away.

This has been the season of organized labor's discontent. But it has also been the season of big wins by unions from Hollywood, UPS, healthcare workers and the UAW.

Learn which prices are slowing down—or even dropping—as a result of deflation, including your Thanksgiving feast. Before focusing on price deflation, hosts Sean Pyles and Anna Helhoski explore recent financial updates, including the rising income among first-time homebuyers, the United Autoworkers Union (UAW) ratifying new contracts with the Big Three automakers, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales trends. Then, Sean and Anna explain what's happening behind recent price deflation. They highlight significant price drops across various goods and services, including eggs, smartphones, health insurance, gas, and Thanksgiving dinner essentials. They also break down the significance of these price reductions amid ongoing inflationary pressures, potentially offering a glimpse of relief for consumers in specific sectors. In their conversation, the Nerds discuss: homebuyer demographics, rising incomes, housing market shifts, UAW contracts, Black Friday sales, Cyber Monday sales, philanthropic gestures, deflation insights, price drop analysis, consumer trends, Thanksgiving food prices, holiday deals, charitable legacies, inflation impact, and deflation.

Automotive expert Tom Blocker joins Good Morning BT talking about Nissan and other foreign automakers giving employees rate increases in the wake of the UAW deal that ended six weeks of targeted strikes against Ford, GM and Stellantis, and news that Toyota has developed a solid-state battery for electric vehicle applications that promises lighter weight, quicker charging time, and extended range.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we start off what will certainly be a busy holiday week, we tie up a few loose ends around the UAW strike. We also talk about some EV maker's attempts to jolt waning consumer demand, as well as a big shakeup in AI leadership. Some expected, but important news broke late last Friday, and we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention it after extensively covering the UAW strike for the better part of the last three months: the Ford and Stellantis contracts have reached the number of votes needed to pass the contract. It's over, over. Both companies supposedly passed the measure with strong support of 68% As EV demand has had a highly publicized demand drop among consumers, we are seeing many, highly invested companies adjust plans and make moves to bring EV demand to life.Vietnamese EV maker VinFast is hoping to get customers over the hurdle of buying from a new company by promising to pay consumers directly if they have service issues.  Repairs are categorized into three types: minor inconveniences like hvac, cameras, etc ($100), inoperable vehicle issues like regenerative braking, safety functions, etc ($300)Tesla has decided to lift its ban on resale of their much anticipated Cybertruck ahead of their ‘delivery event' scheduled for November 30th where the company will be delivering a reported 10 vehiclesThe 10 unit delivery event was confirmed by a company executive. This limited delivery, following years of anticipation and delays, marks the initial phase of the Cybertruck's launch, with Tesla expected to gradually increase production towards a target of 5,000 units per week by 2025Microsoft has recruited ex-OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as well as President Greg Brockman as Altman was abruptly ousted as CEO from OpenAI, the company he co-founded and the creator of ChatGPT. After the announcement, Brockman resigned in protest. According to CNN contributor Kara Swisher, who cited sources familiar with the situation, the crisis at OpenAI was significantly fueled by a divide between Sam Altman's push for rapid AI development and the board members' preference for a more measured approach.(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:38) MTC Mashup Event(00:03:56) UAW Talks Near End(00:05:40) VinFast will pay direct for defect repairs(00:09:01) Tesla to lift ban on Cybertruck resale(00:11:05) Microsoft hires Sam Altman, former CEO of OpenAIHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

There are indications today that General Motors is making some significant moves to fix its Cruise self-driving vehicle business. WWJ Auto Beat Reporter Jeff Gilbert joins us with more. The UAW has now officially confirmed that all three auto contracts have been ratified. Ford says it's going to need to find other savings to offset what it calls "significant costs" added by the new contract. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

While supply remains low, consumer demand is still high. That means you need to source creatively to stock the cars your customers want. Listen to vAuto's Derek Hanson and Patrick Janes discuss how multi-channel sourcing is the key to finding inventory. They also cover how the end of the UAW strike will ignite the new car market, creating an uptick in trade opportunities.

The whole crew is back together again for another big week of labor news. After our weekly roundup of how workers around the world are standing up for Palestine, we get into a slew of stories about major new contracts. Kaiser Permanente workers ratified their new contract nearly unanimously after their historic three day strike last month. UAW workers at the Big 3 also ratified their new agreements won during the Stand Up Strike, as did the UAW workers at Mack Trucks. We also break down the details on the SAG-AFTRA deal released since last week. Garment workers in Bangladesh have been rising up for weeks now to demand a minimum wage just high enough to actually be able to eat, but have faced severe repression. Starbucks workers launched their biggest strike yet this week, Red Cup Rebellion 2, featuring over 5000 workers nationwide. Finally, 4000 researchers at NYU filed this week to join the UAW.

Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice. Israel reveals signs of Hamas activity at Shifa Hospital, but a promised command center remains elusive, while a shell struck the second floor of the the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, killing at least 12 people. A top World Health Organization official described the deteriorating hospital situation in Gaza as ‘catastrophic' today, saying most are no longer functioning, and those that remain will likely be overwhelmed in the coming weeks. A federal appeals court appears inclined to reimpose at least some restrictions on Donald Trump's speech in his election subversion case, but the judges seemed to wrestle with how to craft a gag order that doesn't infringe on the former president's free speech rights or prevent him from defending himself on the campaign trail. A divided federal appeals court has found that private individuals and groups, such as the NAACP, do not have the ability to sue under a key section of the federal Voting Rights Act. Ford and Stellantis workers join those at GM in approving contract settlement that ended UAW strikes. The post Israel reveals signs of Hamas activity at Shifa Hospital, but a promised command center remains elusive, while a shell struck the second floor of the the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, killing at least 12 people – Monday, November 20, 2023 appeared first on KPFA.

Brad begins by discussing the history of Murfreesboro, TN, where a city ordinance banned homosexuality in public. As Brad recounts, this isn't the first time the city has been in the news. A decade ago, citizens tried to prevent the construction of a mosque on the grounds that Islam isn't a religion. Brad draws on scholarship to outline how Christian nationalists employ a framework wherein the USA should be a place of limitless freedom for them, and limited life for everyone else. In the second segment he dissects Trump's vermin comments - and how they connect to Nazi rhetoric. For Brad the local and the national collide in the Murfreesboro ordinance and Trump's dangerous rhetoric. It is a mater of little fires everywhere preparing little fascists everywhere to accept fascism everywhere. In the final segment, Brad offers a positive story - the faith of the UAW boss Sean Fain and what it means for "branding" faith in the Midwest and beyond.

We're wrapping up a busy week of news with a busy day of news as we give the details on GM's slim ratification of the UAW contract. We also talk about the first vehicles to be sold on Amazon, as well as chicken sandwiches and waffle fries from the skies.Show Notes with links:We've made it! GM has officially ratified the contract with the UAW, approving the deal by a 55 to 45 margin, nearly 3,300 votes out of over 35,000 cast.Strong support from workers at GM Components Holding plants, parts distribution centers, and electric vehicle battery plants, with some groups showing as high as 96% approval. The deal includes immediate raises for many of these workers, with increases up to 89% for some, and a uniform wage scale across different plant types.53% of higher paid assembly workers voted against itCornell labor relations expert Art Wheaton, noted that the tight final vote is actually a good thing stating, “It's the sign of a good negotiation. If they got a 99 percent vote, that means GM overspent. If they got 49 percent, that means GM was too cheap. If you're at more than 50 percent, it means you threaded the needle.”In a move many have been predicting, Hyundai and Amazon revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show that starting in 2024, Hyundai will be the first automaker to sell new cars on Amazon's platform.The initiative allows customers to purchase new Hyundai cars online from a Dealer, offering options for local dealership pickup or home delivery.The partnership extends to technology integration, with Hyundai incorporating Amazon's Alexa technology into their vehicles from 2025.The partnership extends to technology integration, with Hyundai incorporating Amazon's Alexa technology into their vehicles from 2025 with Amazon saying they will be adding other brands to the platform by the end of next yearBrian Kramer quoting David Spisak on LI “Most disruptors don't sneak up on competitors. They are allowed to walk right in through the front door.” Chicken sandwiches and waffle fries are falling from the skies as drone delivery of your Chick-Fil-A order might qualify for drone delivery in Brandon, FloridaThe drone delivery is available Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 6:00pm, offering a $0 delivery fee for a limited time. The service is subject to availability and delivery distance limitations.The process involves careful preparation of orders, special, secure packaging, and advanced drone navigation to ensure safe and accurate deliveries.Chick-fil-A, in a statement to USA Today, highlighted their commitment to innovation: "At Chick-fil-A, we continually look for inventive strategies to enhance the customer experience.

It's Casual Friday! Sam is joined by Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. First, Sam runs through updates on the passage of a continuing resolution, Israel's blackout of Gaza, mass starvation amid Israel's blockade and bombardment, the UAW's contract, George Santos' reelection bid, Donald Trump's various trial schedules, Florida's drag ban, the Pentagon's audit, the FBI vs. Eric Adams, and US-China relations, before touching on the unsurprising lack of evidence that resulted from Israel's raid on Al Shifa hospital (despite their hand in building the very bunkers they sought). Digby then jumps into the role of the Heritage Foundation in attempting to bolster the agenda of the Trump campaign heading into 2024, seeking to professionalize the administration at a much more prolific level than his previous term, and furthering the fascist takeover of the entire US administrative state, before touching on the particular strains of American fascism. They also parse through updates from the House with Mike Johnson's term coming into full swing, James Comer's meltdown, Nancy Mace's theatrics, and Chip Roy's oddly hollow plea. Wrapping up, they discuss the recent story on AIPAC's planned tsunami of anti-progressive campaign funding, what (if anything) Hakeem Jeffries is prepared to do to protect his party members, and the apt comparison between AIPAC's current role in the DNC and the NRA's former glory within the party. And in the Fun Half: Sam watches Fox's The Five dive into the deep conspiracy that gave us “Black Disabled Santa” and “Gay Nutcracker,” Tim Pool “doesn't believe” that he was actually an influence on Paul Pelosi's attacker (so humble), and Josh from New York parses through his own evolution in unlearning the cognitive dissonance of Zionism. Kyle from Brooklyn dives into Germany's concerning policy discussions, Batty from Cincinnati dives into rescuing voters from disillusionment, and Tucker, Candace, and Charlie Kirk finally give away the game on the anti-semitism behind their White supremacy, plus, your calls and IMs!

Yesterday union workers approved a UAW contract with General Motors. Votes to approve the contracts with Stellantis and Ford will wrap up tomorrow. Today, we're talking about worker victories, what these contracts include, and we'll hear about why some folks voted “no.” GUEST: Michael Martinez, reporter at Automotive News ___ Looking for more conversations from Stateside?

If you're staying up to date with the news, you may have noticed that unions are having a moment. This summer alone, strikes by members of the WGA, UAW, SAG-AFTRA, UPS, Starbucks, Amazon, and Kaiser Permanente unions, among others, have made headlines and signaled solidarity between workers across the nation. Last year, public support for unions hit a 57-year high, with 71% of Americans expressing a favorable opinion.  However, unions themselves are not a utopia. At the ACLU, we've sided with and against unions to secure worker's rights, specifically those of women and pregnant people. There's still much work to be done to ensure that all workers are treated fairly, but one thing remains clear: unions can be a powerful force for securing civil rights and civil liberties.  Journalist Kim Kelly is a firm believer in the power of organized labor. After years of reporting on the nationwide labor movement, she released “Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor.” The book chronicles historical labor movements across several industries, focusing on the people from marginalized groups who led them, along with their wins and their losses. Kelly joins us today to help us connect our past to our present and deepen our understanding of the ongoing fight for worker's rights.

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Andy Kroll, reporter at ProPublica, to discuss his recent reporting on Leonard Leo and the new Supreme Court judicial ethics code. Then, they're joined by actor Shaan Sharma, member of the SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee, to discuss the tentative agreement reached between the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel's raid of Al-Shifa hospital, the pro- and anti-war movements regarding Israel, a government shutdown, the UAW's contract, Starbucks' labor action, New York politics, and Paul Pelosi's attacker, also checking in on the large pro-war rally in D.C. that played host to Van Jones, myriad US Congresspeople, and noted antisemitic Pastor John Hagee. Andy Kroll then joins, first running through some quick background on Leonard Leo, and how he came to completely reshape the Federalist Society into perhaps the most influential legal institution in US politics. Kroll begins with the 1992 Conservative Supreme Court affirming Roe v. Wade in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which ignited an organized spark in the Republican party and saw the founding of the Federalist Society some nine years later, serving to funnel conservative lawyers into judgeships, state offices, and the Supreme Court – provided they completely adhere to the society's strict blueprint for jurisprudence. After parsing through the central strategies of the Society (centered around networking), and how the Democrats were completely blindsided by the Society's rise to judicial dominance in the 21st Century, Kroll, Sam, and Emma dive into Leonard Leo's role as Supreme Court Den Mother, doting on the conservative justices to keep them happy and in line with the Society, as has come to light recently. Wrapping up, they look to the weak response from the Senate Judicial Committee to the myriad SCOTUS corruption charges, and whether the Court's new ethics code will completely sweep this story under the rug. Shaan Sharma then walks Sam and Emma through the structure of SAG-AFTRA's national board, and his role in the organization, before touching on the central elements of the negotiation – namely bringing wages into line with cost-of-living, getting actors residuals from streaming, and appropriate AI protections. Next, Sharma explores where he felt the contract proposal falls short, including health care, self-tape and audition protections, and wage growth, before he, Sam, and Emma wrap up the interview with an assessment of the AI policy, the SAG-AFTRA leadership, and the pressures that brought the end of the strike. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Peter Beinart and Michael A. Cohen's conversation on the 9/11 comparison with Israel's assault on Gaza, watch the families of Israeli hostages march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in protest of Netanyahu's war in Gaza, and parse through the ongoing Daily Wire cat fight between Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens. Wrapping up, the MR Crew parses through the continuing drama surrounding Kevin McCarthy, as audio is released of his harrowing assault on Tim Burchett and Newsmax nearly leaks allegations against him from Nancy Mace, plus, your IMs!

The hope is to re-establish a beachhead for a kind of liberal political journalism that has become a bit hard to find recently, but that embodies a more insurgent spirit—where it seems natural rather than heretical that new ideas and leaders should challenge older ones, and liberals have the confidence to confront the forces of reaction directly across a range of liabilities.  That's the sensibility I was trained with and have nurtured over a nearly 20 year career in journalism.

The United Auto Workers secured its biggest victory in decades in deals with the Big 3 car companies after weeks of strikes. While the union won a lot of concessions for workers: big pay raises, cost of living adjustments tied to inflation and increased retirement contributions, some workers are focused on what the new contracts are missing.NPR Labor and Workplace Correspondent Andrea Hsu reports on what the historic contracts include and what they don't. Host Ari Shapiro speaks with NPR business reporter Camila Domonoske about how the UAW is looking to build on its gains.Email us at considerthis@npr.org

In late October, after a six-week strike, the United Auto Workers reached a historic contract deal with the big three Detroit automakers. This week, as membership votes to approve the contract are underway, President Joe Biden rallied with the UAW president in Illinois to celebrate the tentative agreement between the union and the automakers. This week on Deconstructed, UAW President Shawn Fain joins Ryan Grim to discuss the victory. Fain was elected president of the union earlier this year by the union membership, in the first UAW election in which members could directly vote for the union president. Fain discusses the recent win, the union election that led to his victory, corruption inside union ranks, and the broader labor reform movement for direct democracy within unions.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/give, where your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.
