Podcasts about unionization

This week, Zak and Aaron sit down to discuss the newly formed United Videogame Workers Union — a brand-new collective attempting to bring the power of collective bargaining to every corner of the industry, regardless of company or position.They spend some time outlining the circumstances that brought us to this crossroads, and then dissect some of the potential positives of the movement as well as the challenges it may face moving forward. There are still a lot of questions left to answer, but one thing is for certain: this is a significant moment in video game history.Listen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck out MosscatMarket on EtsyCheck out even more MosscatMarket on Instagram

Up in Michigan, wind turbine technicians who perform operations and maintenance on Vestas turbines have voted to join the Utility Workers Union of America. Marks the first Vestas wind technicians in North America to unionize. The 11 member group voted nine to one, so someone abstained obviously in favor of organizing and will become members of the UWUA local 2, 2 3, which also represents winex at DTE in Michigan. Now these workers are responsible for operations and maintenance on about 120 odd turbines, including MCE. So Joel, this one's a little unique and maybe 'cause it's Michigan unions are really strong in Michigan, have been for a hundred years. 'cause the auto workers, and this seems like an outgrowth of that, but what is the relationship with Vestus in unions? Is that something that they have done in Europe quite often and this is just carrying over into the United States? Or is this. An American move. Joel Saxum: I think it's an American move. If you look at the state of Michigan, like you said, auto workers are there. They're heavily unionized. And because they're heavily unionized and that state has looked at them as, they do well. It's in good middle class incomes and, that, that's driven some progress over the last a hundred years in Michigan. My, some of my in-laws are from Michigan and they're boilermakers and they're all unionized. And when they say get that union job, they've got it. They've made it right. So I understand the city or the state of Michigan and some of the ideas around there. And I think that if you, in wind, if you were to pick a state that would've unionized first. Michigan would be at the top of your list probably. So I don't think it's a Vesta thing necessarily. I think this is a local Michigan thing, but I don't also believe, Vesta is being a Danish company and they have, a lot of trade representation there from in all trades in that northern part of Europe. I think that's, it's not abnormal to Vestas either. It's probably abnormal to Vestas. United States Management, but Vestas as a company, eh, pretty standard thing. I'm curious to see what their package looks like, because now we're in this era of IRA bill things, right? So we,

The electric vehicle industry in the Southeast is growing rapidly, with increased sales, charging stations and manufacturing. Buoyed by notable victories in the last couple of years, the United Auto Workers union is revving up efforts to organize the EV and battery sector in the South. One target is a sprawling campus in rural Kentucky that, once completed, will be one of the largest EV battery plants in the world. A supermajority of workers at BlueOval SK has asked the National Labor Relations Board for a vote on joining the United Auto Workers. The nearly $6 billion electric vehicle battery campus in Glendale, Kentucky, is part of a joint venture between Ford and South Korea's SK On.

Are you the kind of boss employees want to follow — or the one they desperately avoid? Phillip B. Wilson, our guest this week, is a nationally recognized expert in leadership, labor relations, and fostering positive workplaces. As CEO and General Counsel of LRI Consulting Services, Wilson champions what he calls “Approachable Leadership.” His philosophy is simple: The more accessible and down-to-earth executives and frontline supervisors are, the more their businesses will thrive. Conversely, when leaders create a wide power gap between themselves and their employees, they risk driving away top talent or pushing workers toward unionization. Get an advanced look into Phil's upcoming book, The Leader-Shift Playbook (available now to preorder from Amazon), and hear why he believes that even the most unapproachable bosses can be transformed. You can't afford to miss this episode if you lead a team — whether you're a frontline manager, a C-Suite executive, or the owner of a business.

Dr. William Lazonick is an economist who studies innovation and competition in the global economy, who has recently been focusing on the corrosive role of stock buybacks. We invited him on to explain why this widespread financial practice is such a bad idea in his eyes, and in return were provided with a comprehensive model of what makes a successful economy. In short, Lazonick believes that no economic system can survive without "the firm," the kind of old school corporate organization that maintained a stable a social contract with its workers, sometimes over the course of an entire lifetime. In Lazonick's view, all economic growth and progress comes down to the ability of the firm to honor that social contract, which means he traces the slump we're in to the death of this tradition. But the question is, what caused us to become eternally itinerant workers in search of global opportunties, hopping from job to job every few years? Lazonick's got that answer, too. He points to a radical transformation of our financial and economic system that came to a head in the 1970s.

Dec. 12, 2024 - 1199SEIU may be a vocal advocate for their union members, but the organization's leadership is not warmly welcoming a unionization effort by their own staff. We discuss this campaign, as well as the future leadership of the union, with Maya Kaufman, a health care reporter for Politico New York.

Leslie is joined by Kevin Mapp, the USW's International Vice President of Human Affairs.  Kevin coordinates bargaining in the union's health care, containers, public sector and ship building sectors. The pair discuss the power of international solidarity in four parts. Part 1: Global Solidarity and Corporate Greed Multinational corporations operate globally, oftentimes attempting to pit workers in different countries against each other in a race to the bottom on wages and working conditions. Unionized workers, however, understand that the only answer to large-scale corporate greed is global solidarity.     - The USW works with global labor federations like IndustriALL and UNI so that they can share information about operations in different countries.     - The USW maintains formal strategic alliances with at least six other unions in Australia, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.     - The USW also maintains relationships with unions in a number of other countries as they work to ensure that workers have a place to succeed in the global economy. All of these relationships are premised on the simple truth that workers the world over confront many of the same challenges, and their greatest strength is solidarity. Part 2: Urgency in Liberia and Bridgestone's Operations Nowhere has this been more urgent than in Liberia, where workers on Bridgestone's massive rubber plantation have been struggling for decades to improve their working conditions. Japanese-owned Bridgestone is one of the world's largest tire and rubber manufacturers. It employs more than 125,000 workers worldwide, including approximately 4,000 members of the USW. Unions in Japan, South Africa, Europe, and Brazil also represent Bridgestone workers. In Harbel, Liberia, Bridgestone operates the world's largest contiguous rubber plantation, covering some 185 square miles. It's owned by Bridgestone subsidiary, Firestone Liberia, and approximately 7,000 workers reside there with their families.     - These workers both live and work on the plantation, buying food from the company store and sending their children to schools run by the company.     - The work is difficult, slashing bush, tapping trees, draining latex into metal buckets that weigh 65 pounds each when full, and carrying them long distances to weigh stations.     - This latex then goes straight into the North American supply chain, serving as the starting point for American-made tires. Part 3: Unionization and Challenges at Firestone Liberia In 1990, Terry Renninger, then president of Bridgestone's Liberia operations, said, “The best way to think of it is as an old Southern plantation.” Indeed, in the years leading up to the formation of their union, the Firestone Agricultural Workers Union of Liberia (FAWUL), workers endured what a 2005 human rights lawsuit called “forced labor, the modern equivalent of slavery.” In 2007, workers successfully organized, and since then they've been making incremental progress in improving working conditions on the plantation, though serious problems remain regarding wages, health care, housing, workplace safety, and more. On top of this, in 2019, Bridgestone fired more than 2,000 workers, forcing them instead to work for contractors, doing the same work but earning significantly lower wages without benefits or other protections provided by FAWUL's contract. According to the U.S.-based Solidarity Center:     - One of the big benefits they lost was the education promised to their children, who now must walk long distances through difficult terrain to attend classes in open-air classrooms without desks or other supplies.     - Workers struggle to afford protective glasses, boots, or gloves.     - Living conditions are cramped, and payment for food comes out of workers' paychecks, which can sometimes leave them with zero or negative balances on their pay slips. Part 4: Current Efforts and Hope for the Future Since then, these workers have pushed back, with the support of unions like the USW, as well as the Solidarity Center and others.     - On Aug. 31, 2024, contractors voted overwhelmingly to unionize and are attempting to rejoin FAWUL.     - FAWUL is currently in negotiations with Bridgestone, and one of the key issues is the fate of contractors. The USW has been proud to provide strategic and bargaining support, but the true strength comes from workers themselves who have shown they're willing to take action. The outcome of these negotiations is still not certain, but it's clear that workers – across the world – are strongest when they're united. Kevin Mapp also serves as a trustee on the USW Health and Welfare Fund, is an advisory board member to the Institute for Career Development, and a member of the Board of Directors for the Michigan AFL-CIO Labor Foundation. He is a graduate of the Harvard Trade Union Program and the Cornell National Labor Leadership Initiative.A committed activist, Kevin also serves on the boards of both the metro-Detroit and national A. Philip Randolph Institutes (APRI), where he works to promote social and economic justice, voting rights and community education.

This Day in Legal History: Lockerbie Bombing IndictmentsOn November 11, 1991, indictments were formally announced in the notorious Lockerbie bombing case, marking a significant milestone in international criminal justice. U.S. and U.K. prosecutors indicted two Libyan nationals—Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi and Lamin Khalifah Fhimah—in connection with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The attack took place on December 21, 1988, when the plane exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on board and 11 residents on the ground. This tragedy led to a complex, multi-year investigation involving multiple countries and was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in the West prior to September 11, 2001.The indictments represented a significant moment in the use of international legal cooperation to address terrorism, as both the U.S. and U.K. sought justice for their citizens. The two men were accused of planting a bomb in the cargo hold, allegedly on behalf of Libyan intelligence services. However, for nearly a decade after the indictments, Libya resisted extradition requests, prompting years of diplomatic pressure and international sanctions.Finally, in 1999, Libya agreed to turn over Megrahi and Fhimah for trial in a specially created Scottish court seated in the Netherlands. This arrangement respected Libyan sovereignty while ensuring an impartial setting for the trial. After extensive proceedings, Megrahi was found guilty in 2001 of the murders, receiving a life sentence, while Fhimah was acquitted. The trial itself remains a significant example of international criminal law in action, setting a precedent for how nations can pursue justice in politically sensitive, cross-border terrorism cases. The Lockerbie bombing case also raised ongoing questions about evidence reliability and political influences in terrorism prosecutions, as Megrahi's conviction remained controversial, leading to a compassionate release in 2009 due to his terminal illness.This legal landmark underscored both the complexities of prosecuting international terrorism and the power of coordinated legal frameworks to address global threats.A New York judge, Justice Juan Merchan, will soon decide if President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction for falsifying business records related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels should be overturned. This decision follows a July U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which Trump's lawyers argue should apply to his case, asserting that the conviction should be dismissed. Merchan is also considering whether to proceed with sentencing Trump on Nov. 26, although legal experts believe this is unlikely before his Jan. 20 inauguration. If Merchan rules favorably on immunity or delays sentencing, Trump may assume the presidency without immediate legal encumbrances. Meanwhile, federal cases against Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith are expected to be paused due to Justice Department policies against prosecuting sitting presidents. However, a separate Georgia state case remains unresolved. Trump, who maintains his innocence in all four cases, argues these prosecutions are politically motivated. Manhattan prosecutors counter that the Supreme Court's immunity decision doesn't apply since Trump's case involves non-official conduct, not covered by presidential immunity. Experts note that even if the conviction stands, Trump's team will likely seek to delay sentencing, which could potentially involve up to four years in prison, although fines or probation are more likely.Judge to decide whether Trump's hush money conviction can stand | ReutersDonald Trump's upcoming administration aims to drastically cut federal regulations, but recent Supreme Court rulings, including the end of Chevron deference, could complicate these efforts. Chevron deference, which previously allowed agencies flexibility in interpreting vague laws, was struck down in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. Without this precedent, Trump's regulatory changes may face increased legal scrutiny, with courts more likely to question whether agencies are acting beyond Congress's intent. Despite these obstacles, Trump will likely have Senate support for his deregulation goals, especially as the ruling requires more specific legislative language—a challenge in a closely divided Congress.Lobbyists expect Trump's administration to focus on rolling back labor, environmental, and financial regulations. However, advocacy groups are poised to use the Supreme Court's ruling to defend Biden-era rules, arguing against the administration's authority under the revised legal framework. Trump may opt for informal guidance, like advisory memos or circulars, rather than formal rule-making, as these are harder to legally challenge. Corporate and industry groups generally support deregulation, though the ongoing legal and policy shifts could create near-term uncertainty. To establish lasting changes, Trump and Congress would need to pass new legislation, avoiding the “ping pong effect” of policies fluctuating with each administration change.Trump's Push to Deregulate Faces Challenges in Post-Chevron EraLaw firms saw a substantial profit increase of 11.2% in the third quarter of 2024, largely due to high lawyer productivity, strong billing rates, and controlled expenses, as reported by the Thomson Reuters Institute's Law Firm Financial Index. This index, which aggregates financial metrics from 195 large and midsize firms, recorded its second-highest score since inception, highlighting broad-based demand growth across multiple practice areas. Litigation demand rose by 4%, with gains also in corporate, real estate, labor, employment, and bankruptcy practices, while only intellectual property showed a slight decline.The report contrasts 2024's strong, diversified demand with the post-2021 demand slump, suggesting more stable long-term profitability for law firms. With Donald Trump's recent election win, firms anticipate additional work in areas such as regulation, compliance, antitrust, and energy. Although declining inflation may limit future billing rate increases, firms remain optimistic about the potential for new legal work stemming from significant regulatory changes expected in early 2025.Law firm profits soared in third quarter of 2024, report finds | ReutersThe National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has overturned a 40-year-old precedent, ruling that employers can no longer generally warn workers that unionization will harm their relationship with management. This ruling came from a case involving Starbucks, where the company allegedly made unlawful threats to employees during a union drive at its Seattle Roastery, warning them that unionizing could lead to reduced benefits and suggesting it would be futile. The board's decision revisits the 1985 Tri-Cast Inc. ruling, which had allowed employers to legally imply that unionizing would alter employees' direct relationships with management. Although the NLRB ultimately found that Starbucks' statements encouraging a "no" vote to maintain open communication with managers did not directly violate the law, it changed the standards for such statements going forward. The board's Democratic majority explained that the earlier precedent was incorrect in permitting nearly any statement that unionizing would affect the employee-manager relationship. This decision reinforces the NLRB's recent actions against Starbucks in its efforts to unionize over 500 locations nationwide, requiring the company to stop unlawful behavior and delete certain social media posts.NLRB Tosses 40-Year Stance on Manager Unionization Threats This is a public episode.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with writer and labor organizer Mindy Isser to discuss the United Auto Workers (UAW) calling for a ceasefire in the Israel/Gaza conflict. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the US vetoing a UN ceasefire resolution while sending more bombs to Israel, Biden's dropping poll numbers in Georgia and Michigan, the House GOP's impeachment process, the material impact of Texas' forced birth policy, the EU's AI policy, Saudi Arabia's crippling of COP28, Google's antitrust case, and Tucker's career pivot, before diving into continuing unrest toward Biden and US policy around the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Mindy Isser then joins, diving right into the UAW's ongoing era of militant and persistent action to aptly represent and fight for their members, as emblemized by Shawn Fain's leadership and the union's continuing drive for expansion. Expanding on this, Isser walks through the UAW's recent choice to join a call for a ceasefire in Gaza, exploring how it fits into the union's history of standing on the right side of immoral conflicts, particularly when it comes to reflecting the stance of the vast numbers of arab auto workers in Michigan and the midwest. Wrapping up, Sam and Emma have Isser walk through the theoretical plan for this ceasefire campaign, and what to expect from the UAW's expansion plans moving forwards. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through Shontel Brown's recent statements on accepting mass donations from anti-progressive groups like AIPAC and DMFI, the mass Palestinian opposition to Hamas before Israel's revamped ethnic cleansing campaign, and the arbitrary and disrespectful debates around what actually constitutes “genocide.” Jenna from Fremont highlights her recent discussion with Christians on trans rights, Greg from Albany discusses challenging Elise Sefanik, and Chris calls in to explore the complex state of geopolitics.
