Podcasts about unions

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by White House Correspondent for the Washington Examiner, Mabinty Quarshie, who previews tomorrow's 'State Of The Union' address. Mabinty says she expects Trump to say that he doesn't need authority from the Supreme Court or from Congress in order to levy tariffs, and that he'll cherry pick any positive economic stats his staff can find.  She and Brad also discuss why voters have soured on Trump's approach to immigration, and how electricity prices have doubled under his watch. On the subject of tariffs, Congress will have to authorize Trump's 15% tariffs across the board after 150 days, which doesn't look like it'll have the votes in the House or Senate. Mabinty also highlights how Trump's go to economic policy was tariffs, (and he was using it as a weapons for any world leader that angered him), but now those are likely to be gone soon. Then, leading progressive strategist and Outreach Director of the Battleground Alliance, Heather Booth, discusses November's upcoming midterm elections in the House and Senate. Heather highlights the damage that President Trump and congressional Republicans have done by taking away health insurance for millions of Americans, failing to address increases in the cost of living, and killing Americans like Renee Good and Alex Pretti.   Next, despite acknowledging positive polling for Democrats heading into the midterm elections, she says that the results will all depend on Democrats organizing and turning out voters beginning now. Brad and Heather then discuss how the Battleground Alliance brings together Unions, environmental groups and civic groups and are supporting local organizations that are doing the work on the ground to win the midterms for Democratic candidates in over 40 congressional races. Heather also speaks about her organizing work with the late Rev. Jessie Jackson, and how his work lives on. She and Brad recap redistricting thus far for the upcoming election cycle, how Democrats have fought back against the Republican efforts to rig the upcoming midterms, the threat the Supreme Court still presents to the Voting Rights Act, and how Americans can fight back if it's struck down. Finally, Heather highlights how we can turn our anger into action and the 'hurt and hate into hope and heart.' The website for the Battleground Alliance is www.BattlegroundAlliance.org. Brad is on the National Journal's panel of political insiders, is an American political analyst for The Times of India TV, and is a national political analyst for WGN TV and Radio in Chicago and KNX Radio in Los Angeles. Brad also writes a political column every Sunday for 'The Hill.' You can read his columns at www.MuckRack.com/Brad-Bannon. His handle on BlueSky is @bradbannon.bsky.social.

That teachers' unions are more interested in radical leftist political power than student achievement is increasingly recognized, and today's guest brings two new pieces of evidence to pile on the scales. First, AFT president Randi Weingarten, the under-recognized villain of the COVID-19 pandemic, announced to a videoconference of radical-left activists that she was leveraging teachers' pensions against Target to get the company to denounce immigration enforcement. Then, we dive deeply into Union del Barrio, a radical anti-immigration-enforcement group that may take control of Los Angeles's teachers union. Stu Smith of the Manhattan Institute, who surfaced the Weingarten clip and recently wrote on UdB, joins us to discuss.Meet the Radicals Running to Lead the Los Angeles Teachers' UnionMeet the radicals who ran to lead LA's teachers union, Unión del Barrio and its offshoots.Randi Weingarten's Fight With Target Isn't Remotely About Education

3.Michael Vlahos as Germanicus explores with Gaius the seventeenth-century practice of dynastic marriage as a superior geopolitical tool compared to modern warfare's impulse toward total destruction. Gaius highlights the unions connecting the Hapsburg, Bourbon, and Stuart empires, observing that the magic of resolving conflict through marriage has been lost entirely. Germanicus explains that these networks of bloodlines created a unified European sensibility and stability that limited war's severity because monarchs were cousins bound by family obligation and shared aristocratic culture. Wars remained limited affairs rather than existential struggles for national survival. Germanicus attributes the loss of this restraint to the French Revolution, which replaced aristocratic connections with religious nationalism and a Darwinianstruggle for survival, culminating in the total wars of the twentieth century that devastated entire civilizations. While true dynastic geopolitics has vanished from international relations, Germanicus observes a strange egalitarian counterpart emerging in the American overclass through the nepo baby phenomenon. He argues that elite families in Hollywood and politics now pass down wealth and status across generations, mimicking aristocratic patterns without the intergenerational stability, diplomatic utility, or civilizational responsibility characteristic of Roman senatorial families or royal Europeanhouses.

Last autumn Italian workers shut down their country in opposition to the Gaza genocide. In the United States, in contrast, labor activists wanting to take a stand in solidarity with Palestinian workers are frequently chastised for trying to involve their unions in the affairs of other countries. Yet labor historian Jeff Schuhrke illustrates that U.S. unions have long been involved in Palestine — for almost a century supporting Zionism and then the state Israel. (Encore presentation.)

Most advisors ignore the post-65 retirees sitting on their clients' health plans. They assume it's just a cost of doing business or that the employer wants to keep them on the same plan as active employees. But by failing to "carve out" this population, you are missing one of the biggest cost-containment strategies available, especially for self-funded groups.My guest, Ken Peterson, Regional Vice President at Benistar, joins me to demystify group retiree medical benefits. Ken explains why municipalities, unions, and family-owned businesses are prime candidates for this strategy, how moving retirees to a Group Medicare Advantage or Supplement plan can drastically lower the average age (and risk) of your active pool, and the specific questions you need to ask to uncover this opportunity. This is the guide to finding the hidden savings in your book of business.Chapters:(00:00:00) The "Low Hanging Fruit" of Benefits: Post-65 Retiree Plans (00:04:33) Who Needs This?

For the 100th episode of Astonishing Healthcare, we welcomed AJ Loiacono, our co-founder and CEO, back to the show for a lively discussion about the evolution of our industry and business. What started as a transparent pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) in the "age of indifference" is now a more comprehensive health benefits manager (HBM), and we've entered the "era of acceptance." It's been an incredible 8+ years of growth, fueled by innovation and an unwavering commitment to our clients and delivering on our mission: to build the infrastructure our country needs to deliver the healthcare we deserve. But we had to endure an "age of confusion" to get here!AJ explains why traditional healthcare giants are facing a "BlackBerry moment" - trying to emulate a conflict-free challenger when "it's already too late." The balance of power is shifting away from the traditional PBMs, as the industry now demands full transparency - buyers of health benefits today are smarter than ever before. We also discuss how and why the U.S. wastes [at least] a trillion dollars annually by trying to deliver care using inefficient, fragmented systems; we built the infrastructure to stop it. This episode isn't just a retrospective; it's a blueprint of sorts, and we've got the cultural DNA required to bring about sustainable change (vs. just daydreaming about it).

Verflucht kalt, der Januar. Nein, nicht das Wetter. Sowas kommt im Winter schon mal vor. Wir meinen die soziale Kälte, die mit dem Unions- & Wirtschafts-Tief zu uns rüber geweht ist. Bitte keine Teilzeit mehr, mehr arbeiten und nicht mehr telefonisch krankmelden. Dabei sind wir doch schon gebeutelt genug. Die Bahn fährt nicht pünktlich und der Bierkonsum geht zurück. Ein echtes Warnsignal!Aber immerhin will Donald Trump unser Land nicht annektieren, sowie Grönemark (Klingbeil). Liegt vielleicht daran, dass bei uns aktuell ein sehr rauer Wind weht. (Merz) Hier bekommen Sie die passende Satire gegen all den Wahnsinn.. Moderator Stephan Fritzsche hat dafür extra seine Lifestyle-Teilzeit aufgegeben.

Unions are stepping into a critical role in the resistance against Trump's ICE crackdown and authoritarian slide; volunteer “rapid responders” speak out about tracking ICE deployments in the Twin Cities in real time; and a conversation about why sustained defiance is what's needed now to meet this moment.

Drew Perkins talks with investigative reporter Chris Papst about his book, Failure Factory: How Baltimore City Public Schools Deprive Taxpayers and Students of a Future . Papst, a reporter for Project Baltimore, shares his deep-dive into why one of the most funded school systems in America remains one of the lowest performing . From systemic grade manipulation to the misuse of school funds, this conversation explores the "end stages" of a failing public education system and serves as a critical warning for the rest of the country . Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Video version available at: https://youtu.be/LO5ZHmYJzEA Papst details the findings of his multi-year investigation, which uncovered "the 50% rule"—a policy preventing students from receiving grades below 50%, regardless of attendance or performance—and instances where principals directly ordered teachers to change failing grades to passing. He argues that the focus has shifted from educating children to acquiring funding and growing the power of the school system. The discussion also touches on the role of teachers' unions, the transition of teaching from a "profession to a job," and the emergence of "diploma mills" that exploit old state laws. Despite the systemic issues, Papst highlights "shining examples" like Cecil Elementary, where leadership has achieved high proficiency rates despite facing the same challenges as neighboring schools. Finally, the conversation looks at the national implications of these findings and the critical need for accountability in public education. Papst emphasizes that while the situation is dire, it is correctable through transparency and a refocus on student learning rather than adult-centered bureaucracy.

Unions have backed a ballot measure in California to levy a one-time 5% tax on billionaires.

The state of Minnesota is under siege by our own federal government, and residents—immigrant and US-born alike—are living in fear. With the deployment of over 3,000 federal agents to Minnesota in recent weeks,  this is the Trump administration's largest and most violent so-called “immigration enforcement” operation yet—and with President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota in response to protests over ICE's terror campaign, the situation on the ground is extremely volatile. Amid this federal invasion, unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses in Minnesota are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23.In this urgent episode, we speak with three union members and organizers in the Twin Cities—Daniel Troccoli, Douglas Williams, and Janette Corcelius—about the situation on the ground in Minnesota, and about the proposed general strike this Friday.Additional links/info:1/23: ICE OUT OF MN call to action and Facebook event page1/23 ICE OUT OF MN Org Sign UpSarah Lazare & Amie Stager, In These Times, “‘We are facing a tsunami of hate': Amid ICE crackdown, unions and community groups call for Minnesota shutdown in 10 Days”Luis Feliz Leon, Labor Notes, “Will ICE ignite a mass strike in Minnesota?”Suzanne Gamboa, Shaquille Brewster, & Colin Sheeley, NBC News, “Immigration officers around Minneapolis are approaching people and demanding proof that they're U.S. citizens”Rachel Leingang & Maanvi Singh, The Guardian, “‘Make no mistake, this is an occupation': ICE's deadly presence casts long shadow over Minneapolis”Joseph Cox, 404 Media, “Inside ICE's tool to monitor phones in entire neighborhoods”John Hamilton, Democracy Now!, “ICE vs. People of Minnesota: A special report on community resistance to Trump's militarized crackdown”Featured Music:Jules Taylor, Working People Theme SongCredits:Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help 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!

Leslie is joined by Jody Calemine, Director of Advocacy for the 63 Unions and 15 million members of the AFL-CIO. The two review President Trump's first year of his second term, and how it's been filled with relentless attacks on workers during his pursuit of 'Project 2025.' However, they also discuss how the labor movement is fighting back, and winning! The administration: committed the single biggest-act of union-busting in history,  launched a brutal assault on immigrants and communities across the country, ripped health care from millions, made billionaires richer and corporations more powerful, moved to unleash untested AI technology, And dismantled government agencies that provide essential services.  President Trump promised to “make America affordable again,” but instead, he spent a year driving up costs, holding down wages and letting jobs disappear—including jobs that would keep energy bills from skyrocketing.  But in the face of relentless attacks on our livelihoods and freedoms, workers are turning to unions to fight back. And we're winning.  In December we saw the first sprouts of victory when a bipartisan group of lawmakers canceled votes on the SCORE Act, succumbing to pressure after months of organizing from the labor movement. Then before the year ended, a group of bipartisan lawmakers passed a discharge petition advancing one of labor's top priorities: restoring federal workers collective bargaining rights. At the beginning of 2026, we saw lawmakers in the house rally around an extension of the ACA tax credits and a band of Republicans come together to sink a series of anti-worker labor bills. The website for the AFL-CIO is AFLCIO.org and their handle on Blue Sky is @AFLCIO.org. Their handle on Facebook, Instagram and X is @AFLCIO.  Jody's handle on Blue Sky is @guerino.bsky.social.

Stefan Molyneux digs into what he calls "Gene Wars," looking at how r and K selection strategies in reproduction shape human societies. He describes r-selected types as those that reproduce quickly with little effort put into raising the young, while K-selected ones focus on having fewer kids but investing more in them. Molyneux ties this to modern problems like abortion and spending habits, suggesting these strategies affect how people view duties to others and keeping systems steady. He wraps up by urging people to pay more attention to these biological factors when dealing with today's issues.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In this week's Short Suck, we head back to the 1930s, when milk wasn't just one of many beverages  - it was survival, income, and power. As the Great Depression crushed farmers, workers, and cities alike, a perishable staple sparked riots, bombings, deadly shootings, and even Mafia involvement across the Midwest. This is the forgotten history of the Milk Wars,  when America went to war... over cow juice.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
