Synopsis:  In a call to action, Sara Nelson, President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, urges workers to move beyond defense and set the agenda for change, declaring "our world is burning" but asserting that collective power can be used to create a better future.Stay informed and engaged! Don't miss out on our captivating weekly episodes that dive deep into the heart of our economy, culture, and politics from the past to the present. Please hit the podcast subscribe button if you've yet to subscribe.Description: Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. You may remember her integral role in threatening a strike, which helped pressure the Trump administration to end the 2019 government shutdown. But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning.

President Trump announced new tariffs on auto imports, aiming to reshape labor politics and influence voter loyalty ahead of future elections. The proposed 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and additional tariffs on products from Canada, Mexico, and China have received mixed reactions. A prominent auto worker union leader, previously critical of Trump, shifted support based on these tariffs, while some Democrats in auto-producing states view the tariffs as beneficial for U.S. jobs. Conversely, other Democrats warn of potential inflation and increased consumer costs. Union leaders, including United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, express concerns about union rights, Social Security, healthcare, and job dignity, while remaining politically independent. Many Republicans favor the tariffs, leading to divisions within the political landscape regarding their long-term implications.

Remote work spread widely across the workforce when the pandemic began and many state employees have maintained that setup or work in a hybrid format. Unions representing state workers are criticizing the governor's decision. For more, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Megan Dayton, the president of the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, or MAPE, and a senior demographer with the state.

We finally reviewed the car movie starring Michael Keaton and Long Duck Dong, and it's glorious! A fictional Japanese Automotive company decided to expand production into the US in the mid 1980's…..a lot like the actual companies really did.  And the Japanese have a wholly different work ethic than do regular old Union US Auto Workers.  And that's true - or was back then. And a well intentioned but perpetually lucky Union Leader talks them into saving an abandoned US automotive plant that was the center of their town. The Japanese agreed, but only if the plant could be run with kaizen; a process of continuous improvement and dedication to work above all else.  So….that didn't work at all.  But in the end, to save the plant, and save the town, the Japanese and the Americans work together to make something great….and by that, I mean the effort, not the cars.  8 Corndogs!

This is the audio excerpt of a podcast interview with David Fair, Deputy Chief at Turning Points for Children, regarding his part on the re-make of  @HBO  documentary series “Eyes On The Prize,” which is a continuation of the 1980's PBS film; the award-winning documentary series telling the stories of the civil rights movement in the US. We interviewed David in July 2022. The first two series were broadcast in the 80s and covered up to 1985, and the new series will be released next year and pick up from there looking at the fight against discrimination within the African Amercian especially people affected by the HIV pandemic. We did this interview via audio July 2022, and made it available on our YouTube, but the file was corrupted and removed. We have edited and updated a video excerpt which is available here. Th full episode was for over two-hour and is available in its entirety on the audio podcast. The episode begins with an excerpt from the opening sounds of the original Eyes on the Prize series by  @PBS . I then share a song that I sung to transition into the discussions entitled: “You're My Brother, you're my sister,” as David embodied this need to demonstrate love that does not include color. Here's a white gay man in the 1980's who was defying his community! The interview was extremely informative and powerful. He discusses why he was interviewed for the new documentary by the HBO crew recently and talked about his work as a Union Leader and then Spearheading the setting up of funding programs to combat HIV/AIDS IN THE 1980S. We explored how the epidemic speaks to the issue of race & inequality as there were racism within the white gay community towards black gays which didn't have any agency of such & lack funds to get treatment or access education about #HIV/ #AIDS. He explored how it wasn't until 1987 that city government in Philadelphia provided funding as most of the available funds were within the white gay community (private funding); Blacks were poor. The interview is available in audio (and video only on the Spotify platform). It was one hour long & we even touched briefly on other topics such as Child Youth & Family in Philadelphia, homelessness & the efficacy of documentary films in purporting truth. In the interview, David said he uses his white privilege to create or effect change in a positive way by working to advance the lives of black and brown people affected by HIV/AIDS in the 1980s when he went from a union leader/organizer to pressing for help to support these vulnerable group to eventually becoming one of the person instrumental and the mastermind behind the setting up of funds and created organizations that are funded to support poor black community that includes those affected by HIV/Aids; and these agencies still exists today. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theneoliberal/support. Note: Today 1 out of every 7 young black and brown males are affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. And it wasn't until 1987 that black and brown gay people got any agency to deal with HIV/AIDS, thanks to #philadelphia's #firstblackmayor. Moreover, Reagan wasn't providing federal funding to assist black and brown people to fight the disease. And black and brown peoples living with HIV/AIDS were poor and stigmatized more heavily than their white counterparts who were also discriminated against but was said to be racist towards black gay people. The white gay community had money, so that they never needed federal funding but did not care much for black gay people and did not share their funds with black gay people who were poor. This attitude is what defied these vulnerable groups. They are all subjugated and discriminated against but weren't as united as they still practiced a form of racism and discrimination themselves. We explored these in the interview with David Fair on The Neoliberal Round. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theneoliberal/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theneoliberal/support

The question of whether Indian Country and the United States should be viewed as separate entities or as one unified country has been a topic of debate for decades. Given the history of colonization, genocide, and ongoing oppression faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States, tribes have argued that they should be recognized as true sovereign nations, separate and distinct from the U.S.On the other hand, some argue that the idea of a "united" America is paramount and that recognizing that separate individual "Nations within a Nation" would be a threat to national unity and security. In this podcast, we will offer perspective on how the complex history and ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States are largely ignored by elected politicians who (in some cases) come from within our tribal communities.Also...Recently, the Keep America Beautiful organization announced the release of all rights to its "Crying Indian" ad campaign made famous in the 1970s.

Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, discuses the Biden Administration and Democrats lack of acknowledgement of the “humanitarian crisis” happening on the Southern Border. Judd saying, he has “none confidence, whatsoever,” in Biden or his Homeland Security policies. The Border Patrol union leader also comments on the 51 migrants found dead in a truck in San Antonio this week that, “when you hear Democrats say that they care about people, all you have to do is look at the action, don't listen to the words.” Commenting, “if they truly cared about people, they would enforce the laws to ensure that these people don't put themselves in the hands of these dangerous criminal organizations, but they don't enforce the laws, which is what is encouraging and driving this problem.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
