Last week, Amazon announced that it will lay off all its workers at seven warehouses, fulfillment centres and sorting stations in Quebec. Almost 2000 workers will lose their jobs, 1,700 of which are permanent positions. After a two-year effort, workers at an Amazon warehouse in Laval had unionized with the Confédération des Syndicats Nationaux last May. Amazon claims that its decision to close the Quebec operations was not because of the worker's successful unionization. The union disagrees. We talk with Adam Donald King, assistant professor in the Labour Studies Program at the University of Manitoba.

For the Labor Day holiday, we're revisiting a critical bit of ongoing organizing happening in the United States. One of the interesting side effects of the post-Covid economy has been a surge in the power and influence employees hold. Wages in service industry jobs have risen dramatically as employers struggle to find workers. However, there have also been increasing stories of worker exploitation, leading to a surge in new unionization efforts. To discuss all of it, we've invited Michelle Eisen onto the show. Michelle is a Starbucks Barista and organizing member of Starbucks Workers United.

Unionizing a workplace comes with several challenges. We sat down with Sandie Carner-Shafran, who worked started working as a teacher's aide in 1982 when the Willowbrook Decision reformed the way in which New York State engaged with individuals with disabilities. Sandie shared her experience of becoming a vocal player in the negotiating efforts of her Union. Today, Sandie sits on the executive board of her local Union as Labor Ambassador and Co-Chair of the Saratoga Adirondack BOCES Employees Association Women's Committee and is the second VP of the New York State Teachers Union Retiree Council 10. She is also President of the Saratoga Labor Council and member of the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center Policy BOD.

ICYMI: Hour One of ‘Later, with Mo'Kelly' Presents – A look at a string of robberies at 7/11 from Los Angeles to Orange County AND where Hepatitis A has popped up in Southern California…PLUS – A ‘Race for the White House' update from Biden's upcoming star-studded LA Fundraiser moderated by Jimmy Kimmel; to Trump's claims at an NRA conference that “he has done more for the Black individual than Abraham Lincoln” - on KFI AM 640…Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with writer and labor organizer Mindy Isser to discuss her recent piece in In These Times entitled "In Labor's Mission to Organize the South, Another Domino Could Soon Fall." Then, he speaks with Anna Clark, reporter at ProPublica covering issues in the MidWest, to discuss her recent reporting on the Flint water crisis, 10 years later. First, Sam runs through updates on Biden's continuing arms sales to Israel, Israel's goal of settling the Gaza Strip, Michael Cohen's star turn, US inflation rates, climate change, Maryland's primaries, Trump's corruption, Rudy Giuliani, suits against major corporations, and the 2024 Presidential Debates, also diving into appearances from Vivek Ramaswamy and Mike Johnson at the Trump Trials, featuring some live translation during the latter's speech. Mindy Isser then jumps right into the South's long history of anti-union sentiment and politics, looking at the statistics behind the South's union dearth, and the major driving forces of racism and anti-communism that have shaped the elite-driven attack on organized labor from the Congress of Industrial Organizations' (CIO) “Operation Dixie” in the 1940s through the UAW's ongoing expansion attempt today. After expanding on the role race has played in the recent union-busting attempts at the Vance, Alabama Mercedes plan, Sam and Mindy discuss the recent NLRB ruling that established a system card check lite, and how southern politicians are pushing back against it, before parsing more specifically through what the UAW's success organizing the Chattanooga VW plant meant for a union renaissance in the South, and the hope that remains strong heading into the Vance Mercedes plant vote tally. Next, Anna Clark joins, first walking through the now infamous story of Flint, Michigan's water crisis, which began one decade ago this spring with the horrendously executed switch off of Detroit's Lake Huron water supply, followed by a tremendous display and unaccountability and incompetence from the political leadership of Flint appointed by Governor Snyder. After expanding on the devastating health effects faced by the consumers of Flint's toxic water supply (including a two-year outbreak of legionnaires disease), and the lack of transparency in the face of crisis, Clark looks to the attempts at finding justice for the people of Flint, tackling the state of an ongoing class action lawsuit before wrapping up with the failure of various criminal proceedings, and how Flint is still holding out hope for accountability. And in the Fun Half: Sam talks with Kowalski from Nebraska about getting more votes in a 2024 Nebraska Republican primary than Nikki Haley, and why his stance on immigration (among others) worked in his (albeit brief) campaign, Marjorie Taylor Greene's beef with Mike Johnson continues to stew, and Charlie from the North East has an expansive conversation on gun control. The Biden Administration continues their genocide denial, Tim from Boston has a podcast rec, and Eric Adams has a totally-not-racist idea to solve NYC's lifeguard shortage. Sam from Baltimore discusses his perspective on Maryland's David Trone, and Ronald Raygun challenges Sam on the wokification of comedy.

Employees of a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee just voted to form the FIRST autoworkers union in the Southern US. It's no small feat in a part of the country that has been notoriously anti-union. How has the South managed to scare away organized labor since the Civil War? Are labor unions finally finding a foothold there now? And why have unions been in decline across the whole US in recent years? Max and Erin dive into the politics, racism and foreign influence behind it all to uncover why it's taken so long for collective bargaining to catch on down south.  SOURCES UAW wins big at Volkswagen in Tennessee – its first victory at a foreign-owned factory in the American SouthUAW strikes at General Motors plant in Texas as union goes after automakers' cash cows | AP NewsWelcome to Operation Dixie, the most ambitious unionization attempt in the U.S. | by Meagan Day | Timeline | MediumRacial divides have been holding American workers back for more than a century - The Washington PostManufacturing jobs are defying expectations - The EconomistUnion Membership, 1939 and 1953Textile Union Fight to Organize Stevens Plants Shifts to Greenville, S.C. - The New York TimesThe UAW wants to recruit Southern auto workers.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines

March Madness is underway and underlying the excitement of brackets and potential upsets is a conversation around athletes' efforts to unionize. It is the latest challenge to the student-athlete model that has defined college sports. John Yang discussed what could happen next with Gabe Feldman, director of Tulane's sports law program and the school's associate provost for NCAA compliance. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

In a historic move, the Dartmouth men's basketball team has voted to unionize, just ahead of the NCAA's March Madness tournament. It's part of a larger movement of student-athletes seeking better pay and conditions, possibly transforming college sports.Read more:The college sports landscape has changed dramatically in the past decade, particularly when it comes to the rights and privileges of student-athletes. In 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court decided unanimously in NCAA v. Alston that students were allowed to earn money from their name, image and likeness. And shortly after President Biden was inaugurated, he appointed a national labor board president who has been supportive of student-athletes unionizing. Dartmouth has pushed back against the unionization effort, calling it “inappropriate” and filing an appeal. For its part, the NCAA appears prepared for a long court fight to preserve amateurism in college athletics.Jesse Dougherty reports on the business of college sports.

It's Tuesday and we're looking at the biggest stories of the week. First, it's been five years and the Avalanche and Nuggets still aren't available on most Denver TVs! Kroenke Sports & Entertainment just hired a new guy who is promising to end the Altitude Sports vs. Comcast dispute for good, so can he pull it off? Then, Denver City Council is considering a proposal to ban sugary drinks in kid's meals at fast food restaurants, which one man says is just politicians attempting to “micromanage” their constituents. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi dissect these stories and share listener comments on The Epoch Times's billboards and how, exactly, you're supposed to eat oysters.  We went deep on the Altitude/Comcast dispute with our pal Jake Shapiro from Denver Sports back in 2021. Bree mentioned an episode of the If Books Could Kill podcast about the book “Nudge” by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm. What do you think about a ban on sugary drinks?

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Griffin Ritze, a union organizer at Amazon's largest air hub in Kentucky, Amazon KCVG, and Marcio Rodriguez, a Planeside Ramp worker and member of the Amazon Labor Union-KCVG organizing committee, to discuss their efforts to ratify their constitution and file with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for a union election. Then, Sam speaks with Dr. Thaer Ahmad, emergency room physician and assistant program director of the Advocate Christ Emergency Medicine Residency Program, to discuss his recent experience volunteering at the Al Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip. First, Sam runs through updates on the GOP finally succeeding in the impeachment of Sec. Mayorkas, Pennsylvania Democrats' victory, minimum wage legislation, Israel's siege of Rafah, the US State Department's weapons “review,” and Pakistani elections, before diving into Tom Suozzi's victory in the NY-3 special election to replace George Santos. Griffin Ritze then joins, diving right into the major factors behind the beginning of the unionization effort at KCVG, with Amazon cutting benefits amid rising inflation and internal dissent, alongside the labor victory at Amazon JFK-8. After touching on his firing just weeks ago in the lead-up to an election filing, Ritze wraps up by expanding on the major problems with the working conditions at the KCVG Amazon air freight location, and what we can do to support their fight. Dr. Thaer Ahmad then walks through his assessment of the already shaky state of the healthcare system in pre-October 7th Gaza, as well as his relationship to the healthcare system, as a first-generation Palestinian-American doctor, before tackling the extensive effort it took to get into Gaza as a healthcare worker. Next, Dr. Ahmad explores the extreme changes in quality of life in Southern Gaza from his previous experiences providing healthcare, parsing through the impact of mass displacement into Rafah alongside the dwindling number of functioning hospitals in the region creating a system of severely overworked, underfunded, and under-resourced healthcare workers. After looking at the impact of the mass starvation and water scarcity on health, Thaer explores the constant siege on hospitals, even in the south of Gaza, and the clear goal of extending the ethnic cleansing until Gaza is gone, also expanding on the massive impact of the violent occupation on children in Gaza. Wrapping up, Dr. Ahmad dives into the insanity of Israel's backers revoking aid for UNRWA, the devastating impact of the blockage of aid to Gaza, and the US' insistence on not going around it, before wrapping up with what we can do to help get humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. And in the Fun Half: Sam watches Channel 4 once again confront an Israeli spox. over the lack of evidence around their UNRWA claims, MSNBC tiptoes around addressing the Nakba, and Michael Cohen makes some claims about Trump's nepotism. Kevin from Detroit highlights the ‘Listen to Michigan' Campaign to pressure Biden and Democrats over their support for Israeli apartheid, Mo from Texas parses through issues of empathy and healthcare in the US, and Juliet from Portland tackles trans marginalization in queer community. Steve Bannon talks about American apartheid, the MR Crew explores the disappearance of competitive US House districts, and Dana Bash discusses some factors in Tom Suozzi's victory.

Homegrown Sustainable Sandwiches, a Seattle-based chain, was founded with the mission of creating a more sustainable food system; however, as one former employee tells TRNN, Homegrown's business model is “not actually sustainable for their workers.” Workers at Homegrown voted overwhelmingly to unionize with UNITE HERE LOCAL 8 in late 2022, and they have been fighting for a first contract ever since. In fact, workers from two Homegrown stores have been on strike since late last fall in protest of the unfair termination of union leader Sydney Lankford, who was fired after speaking up at a union delegation. As of this week, workers at the Redmond Homegrown location have been on strike for over 100 days. We talk with Sydney Lankford and Perry, two members of the Homegrown workers union who are currently on strike. EDITOR'S NOTE: The heat pay contract provision referenced in this conversation would guarantee time-and-a-half pay for workers if and when the in-store temperature reaches 82 degrees Fahrenheit, not 84.
