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.

It is “reckless” and “premature” for General Motors to cut roughly 750 jobs at its Oshawa plant in response to U.S. tariffs, says Jeff Gray, Unifor's local 222 president. He tells Matt Galloway that companies that “bend a knee to Donald Trump” will face consequences as a result.

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.

Starting June 1, employees for the state of Minnesota will be required to work in person for at least 50 percent of their scheduled workdays. Gov. Tim Walz announced the change Tuesday. 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. The governor's office said in a statement that the new policy will lead to faster collaboration among state workers and help boost the economy of downtown St. Paul.

Join up via Patreon at www.patreon.com/KFSHOW Presented with Holley - www.holley.com Car Movie Review: Michael Keaton's "Gung Ho" Well, you know it would happen sometime. 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!

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.
