An extended U.S. government shutdown raises the risk for weaker growth potential. Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy Michael Zezas suggests key checkpoints that investors should keep in mind.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy.Today: Three checkpoints we're watching for as the U.S. government shutdown continues. It's Wednesday, October 8th at 10:30am in New York. The federal government shutdown in the United States has crossed the one week mark. But if you're watching the markets, you might be surprised at how calm everything seems. Stocks are steady. Bond yields haven't moved much, and volatility's low. It's more or less the scenario my colleague Ariana and I had talked about in anticipation of the impasse in Washington. We'd noted the potential for uncertainty for investors and market reaction depending on how long the shutdown would last. So that raises a big question: what, if anything, about this government shutdown could shake investor confidence and start moving markets? The question is worth considering. Prediction markets now suggest the most likely outcome is that the government shutdown will not end for at least another week. And as we've seen in past shutdowns, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is to matter. That's because risks to the economic outlook start to accumulate, and investors eventually have to start pricing in a weaker growth outlook. There's a few checkpoints we're watching for – for when investors might start feeling this way. First, the missed paycheck for furloughed federal workers. The first instance of this comes in a few days. Less pay naturally means less spending. Studies suggest that spending among affected workers can drop by two to four percent during a shutdown. That's not huge for GDP at first; but it's a sign the shutdown is having effects beyond Washington, DC. Second, this time might be different because of potential layoffs. The administration has hinted that agencies could move to permanently cut staff — something we haven't seen before. Unions have already said they'd challenge that in court. But if those actions start, or even if legal uncertainty grows around them, it could raise the economic stakes. Third, we're watching for real disruptions to economic activity resulting from the shutdown. The last shutdown ended when air traffic in New York was curtailed due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. We're already seeing substantial air traffic delays across the country. More substantial delays or ground halts obviously impede economic activity related to travel. And if such actions don't coincide with signals from DC of progress in negotiating a bill to reopen the government, investors' concern could grow. So here's the bottom line: markets may be right to stay calm — for now. But the longer this shutdown lasts, the more likely one of these pressure points pushes investors to rethink their optimism. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review and tell your friends about the podcast. We want everyone to listen.

On today's podcast:1) French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned Monday just a day after President Emmanuel Macron named a new cabinet, deepening the country’s political crisis. The premier quit less than 24 hours after Macron announced a government that retained most senior members from previous cabinets. That irked opposition parties looking for change, but in a surprising twist, the reappointed interior minister, Bruno Retailleau — who leads the center-right Republicans — also slammed the choice of ministers as failing to “break” with the past.2) President Trump is pressing Israel and Hamas to seal a settlement to the two-year conflict that’s devastated Gaza and destabilized the Middle East, with the warring sides set to begin mediated talks on Monday. A key sign of progress in the negotiations, taking place in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, will be whether Hamas frees all the roughly 20 of its live hostages — plus the remains of those who are dead — in return for Israel releasing about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.3) Unions representing hundreds of thousands of federal workers asked a US judge to immediately block any mass firings by the Trump administration during the government shutdown while they press a legal challenge.The emergency request Saturday night to US District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco follows what the unions contend are a series of statements from President Donald Trump and other senior officials signaling that agencies could take action on layoff plans as early as Monday. Kevin Hassett, Trump’s top economic adviser in the White House, said the administration is holding off on layoffs at least until Monday, when a divided Senate is due to vote for the fifth time on a stopgap bill to keep government open through November 21st.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Federal Newscast, federal employee unions are moving against an unprecedented actions during a government shutdownSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two powerhouse unions — the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) — are suing the Trump administration. They argue threats to permanently fire 750,000 federal workers during the shutdown are unlawful and amount to political extortion. A memo from OMB director Russell Vought, also tied to Project 2025, told agencies to “use this opportunity” to cut staff. If the plan moves forward, entire agencies could be gutted overnight, leaving families without paychecks and communities without protections.

First we hear from Caterina Cinanni from the United Workers Union, the UWU, talking at the Ecosocialism Conference in September about organising migrant workers and the common interests of workers of all national backgrounds. Following with an exerpt from the Anti Racism Rally in Naarm on the Grand Final Weekend.

We replay a conversation with Dr Susie Allanson and Lizzie O'Shea from 12 July 2022 about the fight for reproductive rights in Australia. Dr Susie Allanson was a clinical psychologist for more than 35 years. Twenty-six of those years were at the Fertility Control Clinic in Melbourne. Susie led the clinic's campaign for safe access to abortion. Lizzie O'Shea is a lawyer and writer. Lizzie represented the Fertility Control Clinic in the Supreme Court case to stop the harassment of staff and patients by anti-abortion fanatics. Together they wrote the book, 'Empowering Women: From Murder & Misogyny to High Court Victory'. In this conversation Dr Susie Allanson begins by speaking about their book and then Lizzie O'Shea speaks about the overturning of Roe v Wade and provides more insight into the Australian context. Please note that since the airing of this conversation, WA has decriminalised abortion as of 27 March 2024. Dr Sophie Rudolph, Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne, researches the educational implications of settler colonialism and is engaged with a range of communities in efforts towards transforming systems of oppression. Sophie speaks about the Anti-Palestinian Racism in Schools' report (which she co-authored) that was launched on Friday 26 September 2025. The report brings together 15 months of testimonies from students, teachers, and school community members, revealing how anti-Palestinian racism is deployed and normalised in schools.  Bee leads the Asian Migrant Project at Vixen. They do outreach and support work and advocate for sex workers. They are also one of the co-founders of Justice for Our Sisters, a collective of Asian and Asian Migrant sex workers in Naarm. Last time we had Bee on the show, we spoke  about the ongoing raids by Australian Border Force that are targeting Asian migrant sex workers, Vixen's new project called Rising Red Lantern, and what is required to achieve full decriminalisation of sex work in Victoria. Bee is back in the studio with us this morning to give us an update on the violence and threats made to Asian migrant sex workers and the upcoming fundraising event for Rising Red Lantern. *Listeners are advised that the conversation includes descriptions of police raids and references to violence against sex workers. If you are a migrant sex worker in need of support, you can reach out to your local peer organisation. That's Scarlet Alliance for the peak body at www.scarletalliance.org.au or Vixen in so-called Victoria at www.vixen.org.au. If you need to talk to someone about the issues covered in today's interview, you can also contact QLife on 1800 184 527 or go to www.qlife.org.au.Penny Carr is Convenor of National Association of Renters' Organisations. The National Association of Renters' Organisations (NARO) is a Federation of State and Territory based Tenants' Unions and Tenants Advice Services across Australia. This month, the National Association of Renters' Organisations has released a National Report Card into renting, two years on from the National Cabinet's promise of a 'Better Deal for Renters'. Penny speaks about the findings of the report card, what issues remain for renters, and what we need from governments to truly create a fair deal for renters.  Lucinda Thorpe is Privacy Campaigner at Digital Rights Watch. Lucinda is back on Tuesday Breakfast to talk about the Privacy Commissioner's recent landmark decision regarding KMart's use of facial recognition technology and the impacts that this surveillance tech has on our privacy and why it is dangerous to normalise the use of these tools. Songs:Pay Per View - Georgia MaqFeel it Change - Stella Donnelly

Unions and community supporters hold a rally for striking health care workers of Mercy Health East Clinic in Janesville, UAW members in California demand a sustainable industrial policy, striking Machinists at Boeing in the St. Louis area offer their own contract proposal absent movement from Boeing management, New Mexico is becoming the first state to institute state-funded universal childcare, strikes spread across Italy in support of the Palestinians undergoing genocide in Gaza and in support of the Sumud Flotilla sailing the Mediterranean, unions at Texas State University rally for colleague and tenured professor Dr. Tom Alter who was summarily fired under political pressure for advocating socialism, and Labor History in Two looks at the Shays Rebellion.

Lyons emphasizes the need for preparation, persistent questioning, and the importance of following the money, thereby encouraging a fearless approach to advocating for transparency and better healthcare management. === LINKS ===

The Council of Trade Unions says the government's Holidays Act overhaul breaks the promise that no worker would be worse off. The CTU's John Crocker spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Unions spark some of the strongest emotions in construction. Jason finally tackles the topic head-on sharing both the best and worst he's seen. From world-class training halls to toxic bullying, from skilled Southern California carpenters to right-to-work states with weaker pipelines, he unpacks why unions exist, where they add value, and where they've gone off track. In this episode, Jason covers: Why unions are ultimately our fault, a response to toxic management and disrespect for people. The undeniable benefits: training, tools, benefits, and raising the bar on craft quality. The dark side: threats, vandalism, mafia-like behavior, and how that destroys trust. Real examples from California, Texas, Arizona, and Illinois that show both extremes. Why “all union” vs. “no union” politics is broken and what a balanced path could look like. A bigger truth: nobody in the U.S. should be threatened or killed for their beliefs, union or non-union. The bottom line: if companies want to avoid unions, they must take better care of their people. And if unions want lasting respect, they must hold themselves accountable to higher standards.

Yesterday, Disney announced it was pulling Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show from the nightly schedule for the foreseeable future after pressure from the FCC and the broadcasters Nexstar and Sinclair. Adam discusses how the WGA, DGA, SAG, and IATSE should respond to this threat to broadcast television.

In this episode of Reinventing Solidarity, we feature a keynote address from National Education Association president Becky Pringle from a conference titled "Labor and the Crisis of Democracy," hosted by the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and co-sponsored with the Cornell University Worker Institute. Pringle takes stock of the attacks on workers, free speech, and basic democratic rights, but argues, “Unions were built for this moment” of fighting back.

UNIONS OPERATE LIKE THE MOB WHEN YOU TRY TO LEAVE Once you're in, you're NEVER supposed to be out. From a press release I got a week ago:Two King Soopers grocery workers have filed federal charges against the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 union in response to union officials illegally threatening to fine the workers, who chose to exercise their right to work during a strike. These cases, filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), follow a series of similar charges against UFCW union officials for issuing retaliatory fines against King Soopers employees in 2022. Both employees are receiving free legal aid from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys.According to the charges, Local 7 union bosses illegally retaliated against Ryan Lamb and Lucas Martin by assessing presumptive fines and scheduling “trials” for each of them, despite the union having no authority to punish non-members. The charges note that attempts to discipline the workers for post-resignation conduct violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).I've got Patrick Semmens from the National Right To Work organization at 1pm to talk about this. Find their X account here, and their Facebook account here if you want to follow the story.

When two union members resigned from the union to cross the picket lines the union harassed them anyway, Rose Pugliese stepped out of the Colorado Legislature and we'll find out why, and Robert Redford died!

The “We are all DC” march on Saturday, Sept. 6, was one of the largest protests—if not the largest—to take place in the US capital since the beginning of the second Trump administration. Thousands of local residents, out-of-state supporters, union members, and others marched through the streets of Washington, DC, to demand an end to President Trump's militarized federal occupation of DC. But the march also brought together a cross-section of concerned citizens protesting the Trump administration's attacks on immigrants, US support for Israel's genocide in Gaza, and more. Reporting on the ground for TRNN, Rattling the Bars host Mansa Musa speaks with a range of organizers and attendees at Saturday's march.Additional links/info:Mansa Musa & Dave Zirin, The Real News Network, “‘We are all DC': Massive protests rock US capital in defiance of Trump”Mansa Musa, The Real News Network, “DC residents rebel against Trump's ‘gestapo takeover' of US capital: ‘We don't want a militarized city!'”Maximillian Alvarez & Mansa Musa, The Real News Network, “‘Crazy as hell!' and ‘Distraction from Epstein': Residents respond to Trump's takeover of Washington, DC”Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

In this Labor Day episode, Bob 'n Joyce shine a spotlight on the blue-collar heroes who keep our communities and organizations running. These men and women bring grit, skill, and pride to their work—whether they're building, fixing, driving, or keeping the lights on. Too often their contributions are overlooked, yet without them the systems we rely on every day simply wouldn't function. We step back to honor the dignity of all work—not just what happens in corner offices or behind computer screens. Every paycheck, every community, every thriving business stands on the shoulders of people whose names we may not know, but whose impact we feel everywhere. As OD and HR professionals, we have a responsibility to create cultures that celebrate, respect, and support these workers. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about why blue-collar work matters, what we can learn from it, and how we can give these unsung heroes the recognition they deserve. So, grab a snack, pull up a chair, and let's raise a toast to the backbone of our workplaces and our lives.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports New York's commuter rail system averts possible strike as unions ask Trump for help.

This is the fourth episode of a series focused on the findings of the Horizon Europe project CAPABLE (ClimAte Policy AcceptaBiLity Economic framework). The aim of this podcast series is to provide an overview of the CAPABLE project and draw attention to some particularly relevant findings. In this fourth episode, we explore how focusing on workers can help achieve a climate transition and keep public opinion on board. The guest is Giulia Laganà. Giulia was a migration expert for fifteen years before broadening her focus to include labour rights and the climate transition from 2018. She has been a senior adviser to the President of the Italian Parliament and spent five years with the United Nations and seven in private philanthropy, most recently for ClimateWorks Foundation and previously with the Open Society Foundations. Giulia has experience of advocacy, policymaking, grant management and donor relations as well as communications. An Italian national, Giulia is also part-British and part-Spanish. She has been leading the International Trade Union Confederation's Just Transition & Climate department since January 2024. CAPABLE is a research project funded by the Horizon Europe Programme under grant agreement No 101056891. It provides robust, resilient and actionable recommendations for the design of socially and economically acceptable climate policy measures for 2030 and beyond, examining experiences, policy design and implementation solutions to identify strategies that can enable a successful transition. Views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union. More info on CAPABLE: https://capableclimate.eu/

Not just in the United States, but around the world, authoritarianism is rising and people's faith in the concept of “democracy” is collapsing. “In the absence of clarity from its defenders and amid the failures of our putatively democratic institutions,” Osita Nwanevu writes in his new book, The Right of the People, “democracy has become a specious and suspicious platitude, equally useful to marketers and would-be dictators—a hollow idea for a hollow, unserious time.” How did we get here? And what will it take to revive working people's faith in democracy, not just as a philosophical ideal, but as a real, practiced force that will improve their lives? In this podcast, recorded at Red Emma's Cooperative Bookstore and Cafe in Baltimore on August 12, 2025, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez and Chris Lehmann, DC Bureau Chief for The Nation, speak with Nwanevu about his new book and the fight to reclaim democracy in an age of rising authoritarianism. Guest: Osita Nwanevu is a contributing editor at The New Republic, a columnist at The Guardian, and the Democratic Institutions fellow at the Roosevelt Institute. He is a former staff writer at The New Republic, The New Yorker, and Slate, and his work has also appeared in The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, The Nation, Harper's Magazine, Columbia Journalism Review, In These Times, and Gawker. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland.Additional resources: Osita Nwanevu, Random House, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American FoundingOsita Nwanevu, The Nation, “To make democracy work, give more of it to workers”Credits: Studio Production: Maximillian AlvarezAudio Post-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Valley Fever cases are rising on the Central Coast, with Monterey County's increase larger than others'. And, a bill to allow rideshare drivers to unionize advances.

The “We are all DC” march on Saturday, Sept. 6, was one of the largest protests—if not the largest—to take place in the US capital since the beginning of the second Trump administration. Thousands of local residents, out-of-state supporters, union members, and others marched through the streets of Washington, DC, to demand an end to President Trump's militarized federal occupation of DC. But the march also brought together a cross-section of concerned citizens protesting the Trump administration's attacks on immigrants, US support for Israel's genocide in Gaza, and more. Reporting on the ground for TRNN, Rattling the Bars host Mansa Musa speaks with a range of organizers and attendees at Saturday's march.Additional links/info:Mansa Musa & Dave Zirin, The Real News Network, “‘We are all DC': Massive protests rock US capital in defiance of Trump”Mansa Musa, The Real News Network, “DC residents rebel against Trump's ‘gestapo takeover' of US capital: ‘We don't want a militarized city!'”Maximillian Alvarez & Mansa Musa, The Real News Network, “‘Crazy as hell!' and ‘Distraction from Epstein': Residents respond to Trump's takeover of Washington, DC”Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

For Labor Day, Clearing the FOG speaks with labor organizer Jaz Brisack. Jaz was on the frontlines of organizing the first labor union in a Starbuck's shop and creating the Inside Organizer School in 2018. They are the author of Get on the Job and Organize published by Atria/One Signal Publishers in April of this year. Jaz speaks about their experiences growing up in the South, discovering the history of the labor movement in the United States and getting involved in labor campaigns during college. They also speak about the tactics used and challenges overcome in building Starbucks Workers United, as well as the youth contingent of the labor movement today and the importance of unifying the labor movement across types of work and around broader social demands.

This Labor Day, President Trump is touting a manufacturing comeback. He's highlighting auto companies and big-name corporations investing more in U.S. production. But critics argue many of those plans were in motion before he took office, and union leaders accuse him of being the “biggest union buster.” Presidential historian and senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute, Tevi Troy, joins the Rundown to break down the politics of labor and what's next for unions in America. For those with spinal cord injuries, it seems your entire life can change in an instant. After her freak skiing accident decades ago, Amanda Boxtel is doing better than just getting by. She's become one of the first people to start using an exoskeleton for mobility and has founded Bridging Bionics—a nonprofit that aims to provide free or affordable mobility solutions so that those who are paralyzed may walk again. FOX's Benjamin Hall brings the Rundown just a part of his inspiring conversation with Amanda Boxtel. To hear the full episode and more like it, check out the Searching For Heroes podcast.

Every single one of us who considers ourselves part of the labor movement has some real deep, serious, and urgent soul searching to do this Labor Day. After already falling to historically low levels of union density, public and private-sector unions are facing an extinction-level event under the new Trump administration. That is not hyperbole; that is a fact. So the real question is: What the hell are workers, unions, and the labor movement doing to fight back?  These are the essential questions at the center of both of the interviews we are sharing in this special Labor Day episode, which were recorded at the Netroots conference in New Orleans, LA, in early August. In the first interview, Max speaks with Everett Kelley, national President of the American Federation of Government Employees, about the Trump administration's elimination of collective bargaining rights for federal unions. In the second interview, his first public interview since he was arrested by federal agents observing an ICE raid in Los Angeles in June, David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union – United Service Workers (West), speaks with Max about the status of his case and about the roles unions must play in the fight against fascism. Speakers:  Everett Kelley is the national President of the American Federation of Government Employees, which is the largest union representing federal and DC government employees. He began his first term of service as national President in February 2020, was elected to another term during the 42nd National Convention in June 2022, and was reelected during the 43rd National Convention in August 2024. Kelley has been a member of AFGE since 1981. He worked at Anniston Army Depot and retired from there after 30 years of service. David Huerta is a longtime labor leader, born and raised in Los Angeles County, CA, who currently serves as president of the Service Employees International Union – United Service Workers (West) (SEIU-USWW).

The fight for democracy in America didn't begin, or end, at the ballot box. As labor organizer Erica Smiley, executive director of Jobs With Justice and co-author of The Future We Need: Organizing for a Better Democracy in the Twenty-First Century, reminds us, our democracy has always been "in training," a work in progress shaped as much by picket lines as polling places. "Unions are schools for democracy," Smiley explains. In workplaces where people of all backgrounds must build consensus and fight for fair contracts, we learn the skills that sustain a pluralistic society. It's no surprise, then, that authoritarian movements often begin by attacking labor rights and education, because that's where people learn to resist. From union-busting in the U.S. to neoliberal trade policies abroad, the erosion of collective bargaining has left millions disenfranchised not just politically, but economically. And that's not just bad for workers: it's fatal for democracy itself. If we want to rebuild democracy, we can't just “vote harder.” We need to organize smarter. That means backing unions, pushing for economic policies that distribute power, and demanding that corporations, especially those exploiting AI and automation, share the wealth they're extracting from human labor. As Smiley says, “Whoever's in the White House, they still need us to make the cars.” That power can't be ignored, unless we choose not to use it. We may not know what the next 15 years will bring. But if we organize now, we might just build a democracy worth fighting for. The song you heard in this week's Gaslit Nation is “This Time” by Howard Jeffrey.
