Workers have been pummeled by an overload of customers on Black Friday, so there's a lot to catch up on as we enter the final month of 2025. We start with headlines covering Amazon, Highlander Charter School, Brown University, the University of Maryland, Columbia University, the UFW, National Park Workers, Campbell's, Uber and Lyft, and Leonardo S.p.A. Our main stories start by checking in on the nationwide Starbucks strike, that has now grown to 85 cities across the US. Workers have taken serious fire for standing up for truth and justice in many fields, we take a round up to see how workers are facing attacks on anti-genocide speech and for standing up to ICE. Finally, as neo-liberalism turns life for workers in the West into a waking nightmare, more and more are standing up, so we take a tour around major strikes launched or announced this week in Belgium, Portugal, India, Australia, and of course, Italy.

Jaime Roque follows photographer George Rodriguez through two LAs at once—red carpets and street marches.Hollywood assignments put him beside movie stars and musicians; lunch breaks send him to East LA walkouts, the Chicano Moratorium, and UFW marches. One camera, two worlds. Jaime meets the people and places keeping that record alive. At the Getty Research Institute, curator Idurre Alonso opens thirty boxes—the first Chicano archive to enter the collection—and together they handle images that feel both historic and close to home. You see the craft: studio light brought to sidewalks, composition in the middle of a moving crowd, patience for the breath between chant and silence. In Santa Ana, photographer and educator William Camargo traces how George's example shaped his own work—celebrity gigs by day, community documentation by night—and how a new generation is mapping their neighborhoods before the stories are erased. Join Jaime as he follows the images that built a city's memory. Hear how archives, street corners, and studio lots weave one Los Angeles.See more of George's photography on the Getty website (https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/person/105RWY).Special thanks to George Rodriguez, Idurre Alonso, William Camargo, Marcia Prentice, and Nicole Belle.

The Trump administration's troop deployments to California are in defense of surging ICE raids against farm workers and immigrant communities across the state--a straightforward project of white supremacy meant to discipline the entire American labor force. But Antonio De Loera--communications director for the legendary United Farm Workers (UFW) union--also sees this as a larger war on American identity, America's claim to global primacy, and even America's humanity. Van and Antonio talk about how the United Auto Workers union helped birth UFW, working on the Julian Castro for president campaign in 2019, serving as a special assistant to Secretary of State Antony Blinken during the Biden administration, the foreign policy implications of ICE raids, and why he ultimately fell out of love with the "Lockheed Left." Antonio's Twitter: https://x.com/AntonioDeLoeraB Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/ Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast Catch Un-Diplomatic on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/undiplomaticpodcast Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions.

In January – just one day after Trump was certified as the next president by Congress, a massive Border Patrol raid took place in Bakersfiled, California. Seventy-eight migrant workers were detained under the guise of a crack down on criminals, but when the dust settled the data revealed that only one out of the 78 people detained had any criminal record. Joining us to discuss are Bree Bernwanger, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Northern California and lead attorney on United Farm Workers v. Noem, a lawsuit which claims the Border Patrol violated the plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures, as well as their Fifth Amendment right to due process, and other federal laws, during the raids described above. We're also joined by Sergio Olmos, an investigative reporter for CalMatters, whose latest reporting, along with our next guest, focuses on the same Border Patrol actions in Bakersfield that are being challenged in the lawsuit that I previously mentioned.

In 1962, Cesar Chavez co-founded the United Farm Workers, alongside Dolores Huerta. The organization would go on to wage strikes and boycotts, winning tremendous victories for workers picking the crops in the fields of California and elsewhere in the United States. In 1969, he was featured on the cover of Time Magazine. In 1970, Chavez and the UFW won higher wages for grape pickers, after a 5-year-long California grape strike.Chavez's legacy lives on.But that legacy is also complicated. Cesar Chavez and the UFW fought for immigration reform, but also fought undocumented immigration (and pushed for deportations), under the pretext that undocumented migrants were used to drive down wages and break UFW strikes. This is our special Cesar Chavez Day bonus episode of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Erik Baker, professor of the history of science & labor at Harvard University, to discuss his recent book Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America. Then, she speaks with Teresa Romero, president of the United Farm Workers (UFW), to discuss the Trump administrations's immigration executive orders and directives, and their impact on UFW workers. First, Emma runs through updates on a major plane crash out of DC in the wake of Trump's FAA hiring freeze and gutting of the aviation safety committee, the passage of the Laken Riley Act, Trump's new immigrant detention camp in Gitmo, Trump's myriad anti-migrant EOs, the confirmation hearings of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, Meta's $25m gift to Trump, Bob Menendez's prison sentence, and Israel's ongoing assault on Palestinians, before expanding on the context for the major crash outside of Reagan Airport in DC yesterday. Professor Erik Baker then joins, diving right into the history of America's particular work ethic strain of entrepreneurialism, unpacking its rise in the early 20th Century's major job shortage, with unemployment reaching nearly a quarter of the country by the peak of the Great Depression, shifting the dominant ethos from one of hard work to one of creating your own work, and birthing the entrepreneurial spirit that dominates the post-industrialized neoliberal gig-economy of today. Expanding on the evolution of American entrepreneurialism, Professor Baker explores how the rise of this ethos was met with industries eager to exploit it, from the rise of “self-help” and the gig economy to the rise of cryptocurrencies and sports gambling, all encouraging the exploration of alternative, often precarious lines of “work,” wrapping up the interview with a deep dive into how entrepreneurship sees this precarity, and the failures that often result from it, as a validation of the successes, allowing for the spirit to continuously reinvent itself through crisis, personal or economic. Teresa Romero then joins, as she and Emma dive right into the recent threats mailed to various United Farm Workers locations over Trump's incoming wave of deportations, exploring how, over less than two weeks, immigrants – regardless of citizenship – have been overtaken by an environment of fear and insecurity over their (and their family's and community's) safety, with no institution – from school to church to work – safe from ICE's indiscriminate raids. Expanding on this, Romero unpacks the central role undocumented people play in the US farming industry, and the overwhelming exploitation and abuse they face without institutional backing from unions (or, in theory, the government), with growers and employers – despite their obvious reliance on the labor of undocumented folks – eager to take advantage of the increasing insecurity as Trump's reforms come into practice, before they wrap up the free half by unpacking the need to create a genuine path to citizenship for farm workers whose presence is so important to our country. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack Pete Hegseth and Jesse Watters' gleeful discussion of Trump's new 30k capacity migrant detention camp at Guantanamo, and watch RFK's myriad hypocrisies put on display at his confirmation hearing. Dmitri from Germany unpacks the dearth of non-Zionist perspectives on Gaza in Russian media, and Bob Menendez starts his Eric Adams-esque appeal to Trump, plus the MR Crew unpacks the ridiculousness of “MAHA,” and their experience with the inefficiency (and absurdity) of modern policing, plus, your calls and IMs!

Alerta ante las redadas contra los migrantes agrícolas con la llegada de Trump

Desde hace semanas, las redadas en Los Ángeles no han dejado de sucederse ante la llegada a la Casa Blanca de Donald Trump. Las organizaciones denuncian que en muchos casos se tratan de migrantes legales que sufren detenciones arbitrarias. “Primero declaro el estado de emergencia en la frontera del sur de Estados Unidos”, ha dicho Donald Trump nada más ser investido. La llegada de Donald Trump por segunda vez a la Casa Blanca ha despertado viejos fantasmas entre la población más vulnerable, los inmigrantes latinos, quienes desde hace semanas y ante los crecientes rumores sobre deportaciones masivas, han dejado de salir a las calles y de ir a trabajar por miedo a ser detenidos.  “Esto aterrorizó a la comunidad”Maibe Alonzo, miembro de comunicación de la UFW Foundation, una organización de abogados que defiende a los trabajadores migrantes agrícolas, nos cuenta como están siendo las últimas semanas en Los Ángeles, motor agrícola de Estados Unidos: “Hace dos semanas empezamos a ver presencia de efectivos federales de inmigración en el condado de Kern, en California. Es donde la mayoría de los campesinos trabajan y manejan. Ahí hubo fuerte presencia de las agencias federales que se encargan de inmigración. Esto aterrorizó a la comunidad”. “Mucha gente no fue a trabajar. La gente no quería salir a las calles porque se estaban haciendo redadas y de hecho se llevaron a muchas personas. Nosotros manejamos números de casi 200 personas. Sin embargo, el número oficial que las agencias federales están dando es cerca de 80 personas. Pero la gente ya se ha estado preparando y claro que tiene miedo. Las redadas existen”, afirma asimismo. Leer tambiénApenas investido, Donald Trump firma un aluvión de decretos para su vuelta al poderLa construcción o el campo son sectores que más albergan a migrantes irregulares. Las autoridades lo saben y ahí es donde realizan más redadas. En las últimas semanas, unos 78 campesinos fueron detenidos. Las organizaciones como UFW denuncian prácticas abusivas. “No son criminales, son simplemente campesinos, personas trabajadoras del campo. Los pararon y se fueron a restaurantes, a gasolineras donde se encontraban todas estas personas que puedes detener haciendo perfil racial. Sabemos que la mayoría de la gente que estaban deteniendo no eran necesariamente criminales”, subraya Alonzo.  Desinformación y alarmismoInternet, las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación se han llenado de fake news, desinformación y alarmismo ante la llegada de Donald Trump al poder. Un alarmismo a veces motivado con razón por los discursos de Trump, aunque desde esta organización de abogados piden calma.  Leer tambiénEn Estados Unidos, la protesta anti-Trump palidece ante la ola MAGA“Hay mucha desinformación, hay muchos rumores.

Desde hace semanas, las redadas en Los Ángeles no han dejado de sucederse ante la llegada a la Casa Blanca de Donald Trump. Las organizaciones denuncian que en muchos casos se tratan de migrantes legales que sufren detenciones arbitrarias. “Primero declaro el estado de emergencia en la frontera del sur de Estados Unidos”, ha dicho Donald Trump nada más ser investido. La llegada de Donald Trump por segunda vez a la Casa Blanca ha despertado viejos fantasmas entre la población más vulnerable, los inmigrantes latinos, quienes desde hace semanas y ante los crecientes rumores sobre deportaciones masivas, han dejado de salir a las calles y de ir a trabajar por miedo a ser detenidos.  “Esto aterrorizó a la comunidad”Maibe Alonzo, miembro de comunicación de la UFW Foundation, una organización de abogados que defiende a los trabajadores migrantes agrícolas, nos cuenta como están siendo las últimas semanas en Los Ángeles, motor agrícola de Estados Unidos: “Hace dos semanas empezamos a ver presencia de efectivos federales de inmigración en el condado de Kern, en California. Es donde la mayoría de los campesinos trabajan y manejan. Ahí hubo fuerte presencia de las agencias federales que se encargan de inmigración. Esto aterrorizó a la comunidad”. “Mucha gente no fue a trabajar. La gente no quería salir a las calles porque se estaban haciendo redadas y de hecho se llevaron a muchas personas. Nosotros manejamos números de casi 200 personas. Sin embargo, el número oficial que las agencias federales están dando es cerca de 80 personas. Pero la gente ya se ha estado preparando y claro que tiene miedo. Las redadas existen”, afirma asimismo. Leer tambiénApenas investido, Donald Trump firma un aluvión de decretos para su vuelta al poderLa construcción o el campo son sectores que más albergan a migrantes irregulares. Las autoridades lo saben y ahí es donde realizan más redadas. En las últimas semanas, unos 78 campesinos fueron detenidos. Las organizaciones como UFW denuncian prácticas abusivas. “No son criminales, son simplemente campesinos, personas trabajadoras del campo. Los pararon y se fueron a restaurantes, a gasolineras donde se encontraban todas estas personas que puedes detener haciendo perfil racial. Sabemos que la mayoría de la gente que estaban deteniendo no eran necesariamente criminales”, subraya Alonzo.  Desinformación y alarmismoInternet, las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación se han llenado de fake news, desinformación y alarmismo ante la llegada de Donald Trump al poder. Un alarmismo a veces motivado con razón por los discursos de Trump, aunque desde esta organización de abogados piden calma.  Leer tambiénEn Estados Unidos, la protesta anti-Trump palidece ante la ola MAGA“Hay mucha desinformación, hay muchos rumores.

While you might be tempted to throw in the towel and give up on launching altogether, I'm here to tell you that stopping launching isn't it.    Today, I'm sharing another behind-the-scenes look at our recent UFW live event—a three-day extravaganza that was incredibly fun and value-packed.

Some of today's top storiesThe state agency in charge of certifying California law enforcement officers met yesterday in West Sacramento to decide the professional future of a former Kern County Sheriff's lieutenant.    David Hubbard, fired in 2022 by the Sheriff's Office and now an employee of the Kern County District Attorney's Office, was facing his permanent decertification as a peace officer.    17's Robert Price was there and attended a hearing of the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or POST.     He files this report.A salary increase for the Superintendent at Greenfield Union School District is stirring up a heated discussion online. Many say the money should have gone to teachers or even students, instead. At last night's district board meeting, the issue was not a topic of discussion, however, we spoke with those who attended the meeting on both sides of the issue. Superintendent Ramon Hendrix began his post in 2017, after serving on the board of trustees for eight years.     When he took the position, according to Transparent California, Hendrix's first reported salary in 2018 was more than $214,000 with pay and benefits.     That was bumped up to $250,000 a few years later.    Now under the new contract, Hendrix is set to receive around $330,000 with a more than 7,000 dollar increase in each salary tier. On that same salary schedule, a year-round teacher would begin at around $47,000 and continue to move up to around $61,000, seeing a nearly 15-hundred dollar increase each salary tier.Yesterday, protesters and counterprotesters took to the Kern County Superior Court... ahead of a hearing on unionization for farm workers.     The back and forth between UFW and Wonderful has grown messier... but at its core... it's about unionizing and how easy joining one should be.  Last year... California started a new union authorization method called a card check law. If a *majority* of employees sign an authorization card... *all* employees become part of a union. That's why Wonderful Nurseries and the UFW have been clashing now... for months.     The California Agricultural Labor Relations Board authorized UFW to represent Wonderful workers... saying a majority signed on.     But Wonderful and nearly 150 workers allege they were tricked by the UFW into signing a card. Now... Wonderful has filed a lawsuit against the ALRB... challenging the card check law itself. While there was no ruling during yesterday's three-hour hearing... the judge says he'll also decide if the hearings between Wonderful and the UFW continue... while the future of the card check law itself is debated.

I have broken their presentation in to three separate podcasts to make it easier to listen. The abstract for the presentation is below. Three years after the passing of Cesar Chavez in 1994, the United Farm workers under the direction of their new president Arturo Rodriguez began organizing Strawberry Workers in Watsonville. The Watsonville Strawberry Campaign followed the same organizing model the UFW had implemented during the grape campaigns of the 1960s-1980s. Taking on the Watsonville grower establishment through worker strikes and demonstrations This panel will talk about the power dynamic between the growers, the UFW and the national community. Strikers and union members were treated poorly simply protesting and demanding their collective bargaining rights. The workers fighting in this campaign were known to be some of the most socially and economically exploited in the country. Workers in Watsonville were fighting for a wage of $4.25 an hour and basic human necessities such as drinking water and clean toilets in the fields. This campaign was the biggest one for the UFW since the 1970s when it came to organizing farm labor. In addition, strawberry workers endured workplace conditions that made them even more susceptible to injuries, including no health insurance, which is especially serious when considering the amount of pesticides the workers were exposed to, and the health issues that arose from exposure. Through interviews with public action organizers from several different states working for the United Farm Workers on the Strawberry Campaign as well as the President of the UFW at the time Arturo Rodriguez we will explore the perspective of those who were directly involved in the community organizing campaign and the reasoning behind their participation. What they saw as organizers across the country and what contributions they believe the Strawberry Campaign made to bettering conditions for workers in Watsonville.

Chavez is most known for co-founding the United Farm Workers (UFW) — the nation's first-ever farmworker union. He dedicated his life to the fight for better working conditions and wages for people who were part of the agricultural workforce — many of whom were migrants. And while Chavez's track record on immigration is complicated, UFW is one of many organizations that currently advocates for the rights of undocumented workers, more pathways to citizenship, and overall immigration reform.In this special episode, we host a roundtable with Dani Marrero Hi of La Uniòn del Pueblo Entro, Liza Schwartzwald of the New York Immigration Coalition, and Pulitzer Prize-winning immigration journalist Molly O'Toole. We talk about why our immigration system doesn't work — and what's at stake this November as both Biden and Trump make their case for how to fix it.Show Notes:La Uniòn del Pueblo Entro – https://lupenet.org/New York Immigration Coalition – https://www.nyic.org/Journalist Molly O'Toole – https://twitter.com/mollymotooleWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Co-founder of the United Farm Workers Association, Dolores Clara Fernandez Huerta is one of the most influential labor activists of the 20th century and a leader of the Chicano civil rights movement.  Born on April 10, 1930 in Dawson, New Mexico, Huerta was the second of three children of Alicia and Juan Fernandez, a farm worker and miner who became a state legislator in 1938. Her parents divorced when Huerta was three years old, and her mother moved to Stockton, California with her children. In 1955 Huerta began her career as an activist when she co-founded the Stockton chapter of the Community Service Organization (CSO), which led voter registration drives and fought for economic improvements for Hispanics. She also founded the Agricultural Workers Association. Through a CSO associate, Huerta met activist César Chávez, with whom she shared an interest in organizing farm workers. In 1962, Huerta and Chávez founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), the predecessor of the United Farm Workers' Union (UFW), which formed three year later. Huerta served as UFW vice president until 1999.Throughout her work with the UFW, Huerta organized workers, negotiated contracts, and advocated for safer working conditions including the elimination of harmful pesticides. She also fought for unemployment and healthcare benefits for agricultural workers. Huerta was the driving force behind the nationwide table grape boycotts in the late 1960s that led to a successful union contract by 1970.The recipient of many honors, Huerta received the Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. As of 2015, she was a board member of the Feminist Majority Foundation, the Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus of the United Farm Workers of America, and the President of the Dolores Huerta Foundation.https://www.doloreshuerta.org/ You will find the full transcript at https://interspanish.buzzsprout.comAs always, I really appreciate your thoughts and feedback about the show.

The past decades have borne witness to the United Farm Workers' (UFW) tenacious hold on the country's imagination. Since 2008, the UFW has lent its rallying cry to a presidential campaign and been the subject of no less than nine books, two documentaries, and one motion picture. Yet the full story of the women, men, and children who powered this social movement has not yet been told. Based on more than 200 hours of original oral history interviews conducted with Coachella Valley residents who participated in the UFW and Chicana/o movements, as well as previously unused oral history collections of Filipino farm workers, bracero workers, and UFW volunteers throughout the United States, The Strikers of Coachella: A Rank-And-File History of the UFW Movement (UNC Press, 2023) spans from the 1960s and 1970s through the union's decline in the early 1980s. Christian O. Paiz refocuses attention on the struggle inherent in organizing a particularly vulnerable labor force, especially during a period that saw the hollowing out of virtually all of the country's most powerful labor unions. He emphasizes that telling this history requires us to wrestle with the radical contingency of rank-and-file agency--an agency that often overflowed the boundaries of individual intentions. By drawing on the voices of ordinary farmworkers and volunteers, Paiz reveals that the sometimes heroic, sometimes tragic story of the UFW movement is less about individual leaders and more the result of a collision between the larger anti-union currents of the era and the aspirations of the rank-and-file.

We start this week following up on several major stories, first and foremost the ratification of the hard fought new contract at UPS. We also discuss the victory of grad student workers at the University of Michigan after a nearly five month struggle. There was major news out of the NLRB this week, we break down the Cemex decision and what the new restrictions on election union busting could mean for the labor movement. Also this week, farm workers in New York were attacked by farm owners who raided and broke up a UFW organizing meeting. The New School continues to hate its workers, trying this week to block student workers from organizing a wall to wall student union. Finally, the fight for a fair deal at the Big 3 automakers is heating up, as the UAW voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike.
