What the end of the UAW strike says about the future of the auto industry. Read more:After six weeks on strike, the United Auto Workers reached a deal this month with the Big 3 automakers: GM, Ford and Stellantis. The union successfully negotiated for major improvements, including wage increases, cost of living adjustments, and larger contributions to retirement plans. Jeanne Whalen, The Post's global business reporter, says the wins are already changing the wider auto industry. Today, we break down how the UAW managed to make such large gains and how their strike fits into a strong year for organized labor.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Joe Biden joined the United Auto Workers on a Detroit picket line, a historic first for a sitting President. Thousands of workers have voted in favor of unions at Amazon and Starbucks, and public support for unions approaches an all-time high. But the share of workers represented by a union declined last year. Why isn't unionization growing? Minnesota AFL-CIO President Bernie Burnham, University of Minnesota Law School Professor Charlotte Garden, and Kathy Megarry, the Vice President of Human Resources & Labor Relations, discuss in a conversation moderated by University of Minnesota History Professor Will Jones.

Live—from the campus of Hillsdale College in beautiful Hillsdale Michigan— this is Scot Bertram in for Steve on the Steve Gruber Show for –Wednesday November 15th 2023—   —Here are 3 big things you need to know—   Three—  The new Speaker of the House wants Donald Trump to be president again.  Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson told CNBC Tuesday that he is all in for Trump in 2024.  The endorsement comes after Trump called Johnson a tremendous congressman respected by everybody when he was nominated for Speaker last month.     Two—  There appears to be a chance United Auto Workers members at General Motors plants might reject the tentative contract with the company.  The UAW's vote tracker shows just 52-percent of the votes at those plants have been in favor of the deal, but about 20 factories have not submitted their results yet. Around 80-percent of Stellantis members have so far voted yes, and 60-percent of Ford UAW members have approved the tentative deal.   And number one— A bipartisan group of senators is warning Iran not to turn the conflict in Gaza into a regional war.  Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says the resolution introduced on Tuesday urges the U.S. to strike Iran if Americans are killed by Iranian proxies in the Middle East, or if Hezbollah opens up a second front against Israel.  Both Hezbollah and Hamas are backed by Iran.

Brian Stelter is one of the top reporters covering the media. After covering media for The New York Times, he had a long career at CNN on the same beat as host of the weekly show, Reliable Services. He is a Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair. And the author of the new book, Network of Lies: The Epic Saga of Fox News, Donald Trump, and the Battle for American Democracy. You can buy a copy here. Bill and Brian explore the close relationship between Fox News and Donald Trump. Stelter discusses how Fox News hosts coordinated with White House officials to spread false information about voter fraud after the 2020 election. He also highlights the extent to which Fox News and Trump are intertwined, and how this relationship has influenced the network's coverage. Stelter argues that Fox News has become an extreme and anti-democratic outlet, and that the media as a whole is struggling to cover a radicalized Republican Party. He also touches on the coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the challenges faced by journalists reporting from the region.Today Bill gives a shoutout to the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA. They secured an historic settlement with the studios gaining compensation from streaming and protections from Artificial Intelligence.

The United Auto Workers secured its biggest victory in decades in deals with the Big 3 car companies after weeks of strikes. While the union won a lot of concessions for workers: big pay raises, cost of living adjustments tied to inflation and increased retirement contributions, some workers are focused on what the new contracts are missing.NPR Labor and Workplace Correspondent Andrea Hsu reports on what the historic contracts include and what they don't. Host Ari Shapiro speaks with NPR business reporter Camila Domonoske about how the UAW is looking to build on its gains.Email us at considerthis@npr.org

Both Hollywood actors represented by SAG-AFTRA and United Auto Workers union members have reached tentative agreements with employers in recent weeks, which still need to be voted on and ratified. But these votes are more than just a rubber stamp. We dig in. Also: U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are slated to meet this week. What’s at stake?

The smallest Volvo SUV ever might be the biggest in terms of impact in the United States and around the globe. With a suggested starting price of $34,950, Volvo EX30 could cause many American consumers to have second thoughts about buying a conventionally powered small SUV. With its strong safety ethos, the Swedish brand has made certain that the EX30 continues to carry that torch in addition to its zero-emissions environmental advantages — all at a price that many can afford. Host Jack Nerad had the chance to drive both single-motor and dual-motor versions of the EX30 in a manufacturer-sponsored event in Barcelona. While there, he sat down with Conny Perrson, the EX30 vehicle business manager, to discuss the philosophy behind the SUV. In the interview, Perrson shares his thoughts on why the new small EV will be such an important addition to the brand's global vehicle portfolio as it seeks to fulfill its goal of being a 100-percent battery-electric vehicle brand by 2030. In this episode's road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague discusses his weeklong stint in the Hyundai Ioniq 6 battery-electric sedan. Bathed in evocative sheetmetal, the Ioniq 6 uses the same drivetrain as the Ioniq 5 small battery-electric SUV. The big question is how it will work for the four-person Teague family in the rigors of late fall in Maine. Our other road test this week is of a vehicle with which you might not be familiar — the 2023 Lexus RC 350 F. What's that, you ask? It's a shapely luxury sports coupe that offers increasing performance levels in its various trims. Host Nerad played the part of a retired aging Baby Boomer (very believably) as he shuttled the RC 350 F down freeways and up twisty back roads. He'll reveal what he found. In the news this week, auto sales suffered from the now-settled United Auto Workers strike against American Big 3 automakers just as vehicle supply began to catch up with demand. We'll tell you what that might mean for you if you plan to buy a car before the year ends. The move to self-driving cars took another blow this past week as General Motors hit the pause button on its driverless car operations. The bloom has come off the autonomous car rose at the same time that EV market share has begun to take a dip after a long upward climb. Could American consumers be growing tired of new tech? Again, we'll have our comments. Finally, there is a move afoot in some localities to ban one of our hallowed American driving traditions — the ability to make a legal right turn on a red light. Some say the practice puts pedestrians in harm's way. Others reply, “Balderdash!” You can guess which side we're on. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

In late October, after a six-week strike, the United Auto Workers reached a historic contract deal with the big three Detroit automakers. This week, as membership votes to approve the contract are underway, President Joe Biden rallied with the UAW president in Illinois to celebrate the tentative agreement between the union and the automakers. This week on Deconstructed, UAW President Shawn Fain joins Ryan Grim to discuss the victory. Fain was elected president of the union earlier this year by the union membership, in the first UAW election in which members could directly vote for the union president. Fain discusses the recent win, the union election that led to his victory, corruption inside union ranks, and the broader labor reform movement for direct democracy within unions.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/give, where your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.

On Tuesday, Democrat Andy Beshear won re-election in a deep-red Kentucky's governor race. Ryland Barton, the managing editor of Kentucky Public Radio, joins us to break down the result. And, the United Auto Workers union scored major victories in tentative contracts with Detroit's Big Three automakers. Union president Shawn Fain joins us to talk about the six weeks of strikes that scored the successes. Then, it's been five years since The Camp Fire in Paradise, California, decimated close to 19,000 structures. Though recovery efforts have been steady, there's still a long way to go as residents continue to bounce back. Here & Now's Ashley Locke reports.

The president of the Ohio AFL-CIO, Tim Burga, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss Election Day in Ohio, the cost of the special election in August and issues and expectations for the election. Co-host and co-producer of The Valley Labor Report and Political Coordinator for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 900, Adam Keller, joined the America's Work Force Union to provide a monthly update on labor in the South. Keller discussed a marathon fundraiser, the United Auto Workers' next priority and recent organizing wins featured on TVLR.

Ankur Delight and I talk about the major new deal the UAW struck with the Big Three automakers in the US. The three pillars of the deal are 1) a 25% wage increase, 2) equalized pay for the same job, and 3) the ability to strike in response to plant closings. All represent a further move into green postmodern culture. But, Ankur objects, did we need to be enemies to get here? That’s when the discussion gets really interesting.

Ralph welcomes Craig Mokhiber, who just resigned his post as the director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for the United Nations over the UN response to the bombing of Gaza. Then, we are joined by CODEPINK peace activist, Medea Benjamin, who was recently arrested at a hearing on Capitol Hill, featuring Secretary of State Antony Blinken, for protesting the weapons bill for Israel moving through Congress.Craig Mokhiber is lawyer and specialist in international human rights law, policy and methodology, and he has served the UN since 1992. Until his recent retirement, Mr. Mokhiber served as Director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). He has also served as the UN's Senior Human Rights Advisor in both Palestine and in Afghanistan, led the team of human rights specialists attached to the High Level Mission on Darfur, headed the Rule of Law and Democracy Unit, and served as Chief of the Economic and Social Issues Section, and Chief of the Development and Economic and Social Issues Branch at OHCHR Headquarters.What was really at the center of my letter was a sense that in the United Nations, international law had been subverted or pushed aside in favor of an approach to political expediency. That, first of all, ignored the norms and standards of human rights and humanitarian law. And secondly, it's failed miserably to improve the situation in Palestine and Israel.Craig MokhiberHamas is not just Hamas's armed wing. Hamas is also effectively a local government that provides services. Hamas is not supported by everyone in Gaza by any means. Palestinians who belong to many different parties have many different perspectives from liberal to conservative. And so, I think this continuous focus on Hamas and an effort to depict Hamas as ISIS, with all sorts of fantastical stories, is an intentional distraction away from the reality—which is the 2.3 million interned civilians in Gaza who have no say over what happens in their lives and who are on the receiving end of the Israeli bombs.Craig Mokhiber[This $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel] is being called the genocide tax on the American people— who I think if they were polled would say, “Let Israel pay for its own blunders on October 7th.”Ralph NaderMedea Benjamin is the co-founder of the women-led peace group CODEPINK and the co-founder of the human rights group Global Exchange. Her most recent book, coauthored with Nicolas J.S. Davies, is War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict.Many of us, for weeks, have been going into their offices, doing sit-ins in their offices, joining in with the constituents in their districts, and trying to get them to come out for a ceasefire— to no avail.Medea BenjaminIt's incredible the level of insanity of giving more money to Israel that could create a regional war there, continuing to fund (to the tune of $61 billion) the war in Ukraine that could lead to a regional war there, and then tacking on some more money to provoke China.Medea BenjaminCongress is behaving like an autocracy. It is blockading itself from the American people. It is putting its own power up for sale. It is ignoring the facts abroad. It's alienating huge portions of the world, and they don't care.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. President Biden is facing a collapse in his 2024 polling related to his blind support for the Israeli military. A Gallup poll shows Biden's disapproval rating among young people has hit nearly 60%, rivaling the collapse in support for LBJ as the Vietnam war dragged on. According to the same poll, Biden has dropped 11 points with Democrats overall since September. Among Muslim Americans, Time reports only 17% say they now plan to vote for Biden in 2024 – a steep decline from the 59% who voted for him in 2020.2. Many Democrats are sticking with Biden despite his deeply unpopular position on Gaza, but not Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who is Palestinian and represents a significant Muslim American population in her Michigan district. In a recent video made with Means TV, Tlaib signals “There is no excuse for Joe Biden's support of Israel's genocidal campaign in Palestine. Don't count on our vote in 2024.”3. On Monday, October 23rd, the AFL-CIO held a tense meeting of its executive council regarding Gaza. The New York Times reports “Mark Dimondstein, the president of the postal union, argued that Israel and…Palestin[e]…should be combined into a single state [and] called for the A.F.L.-C.I.O. to demand a cease-fire, according to four people familiar with the contents of the meeting.” He also described himself as “[an] anti-Zionist Jew.” Randi Weingarten,  president of the American Federation of Teachers, asserted “Israel's right to defend itself, [and] said she backed establishing an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel,” Noting “That has been part of the Democratic platform for as long as I can remember.” Mr. Dimondstein, responded that he is “not part of the Democratic Party.”4. The International Federation of Journalists reports that the West Bank shrine venerating Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh – murdered by an Israeli sniper who was never brought to justice in May 2022 – has been desecrated. IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said “I have visited this site myself and know firsthand how important it had become to those who mourn Shireen's loss. It is hard to see this destruction as anything other than a cruel act of vengeance, of a kind that can only exacerbate tensions in Palestine. The sooner the ICC gives this case the attention it deserves, the better.”5. Anti-war sentiment is even taking hold in Israel itself. Israeli journalist Oren Ziv reported on an Israeli anti-war protest on October 28th, highlighting that this was the first such demonstration and that the protesters blocked roads near the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv. This comes as the situation within Israel grows increasingly tense, with reports of Palestinian students being trapped in a dorm at Netanya Academic College as an Israeli mob outside changed “death to Arabs,” per the Middle East Eye. 6. Even the Pope has weighed in on the growing violence, joining calls for a ceasefire. The pontiff issued a statement reading “Let the arms cease. Stop, brothers and sisters: war is always a defeat — always, always!”7.  In major domestic news, the United Auto Workers union has triumphed in their strike against the Big Three automakers. On October 30th, UAW and General Motors reached a deal, following similar agreements being reached with Stellantis and Ford. Axios reports that details of these deals include “25% wage hikes over four and a half years…cost-of-living adjustments…[bringing top wages] over $42 an hour by 2028…[and eliminating the] despised two-tiered wage scale for newer hires,” all key demands of the striking workers. These deals also provide “permanent jobs for temp workers and boosts retirement income, including 401(k) contributions,” and protections for EV workers. Reuters quotes UAW President Shawn Fain saying “We wholeheartedly believe our strike squeezed every last dime out of General Motors…They underestimated us. They underestimated you."8. The Washington Post is out with a blockbuster new report on how payday loan firms have gone to war with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. According to the report, “Powerful financial firms that offer high-cost, short-term loans to poor Americans have blocked at least five federal investigations into their business practices since the start of last year, part of a broad and aggressive campaign by payday lenders to neuter or eliminate their chief watchdog agency in Washington.” These firms have fought the CFPB tooth and nail in the courts, successfully bringing a case to challenge the existence of the Bureau itself to the Supreme Court. As that case winds its way through the legal system, these firms have “cited the pending Supreme Court decision to slow ongoing CFPB investigations or fight off the agency's recent punishments.”  Lisa Gilbert, the executive vice president of Public Citizen, which filed a briefing with the Supreme Court in defense of the CFPB, noted that “The really big-picture implication is all of the rules of the last 12 years could be called into question.”9. Finally, the Intercept reports progressive House Democrat Jim McGovern and conservative House Republican Thomas Massie are circulating a letter calling on President Biden to end the judicial persecution of WikiLeaks' Julian Assange. This letter emphasizes that “Deep concerns about this case have been repeatedly expressed by international media outlets, human rights and press freedom advocates,” and noted a previous letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland which stressed that “[e]very day that the prosecution of Julian Assange continues is another day that our own government needlessly undermines our own moral authority abroad and rolls back the freedom of the press under the First Amendment at home.” Hopefully this left-right coalition in favor of press freedom will prevail.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

EV sales are growing, but not as quickly as hoped. Carmakers are now dialing back EV production targets. And it’s possible that the deals that ended the United Auto Workers’ strike could make EVs less profitable for companies too. Is it a tap on the brakes for EVs? Plus, we take a look at the growing dupe market and hear why Disney is buying the rest of Hulu.

Today's Headlines: The Israeli military expanded its ground invasion into Gaza City, rescuing a female soldier who was taken hostage. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel's commitment to continue the conflict. Meanwhile, Hamas released a video with three other female captives. Israel's Mossad director met with Qatari officials to mediate hostage negotiations, and the Biden administration is also involved. The conflict has led to international hate crimes, including an incident in Russia where a crowd stormed a flight from Tel Aviv, resulting in injuries and detentions. Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged Ukrainian involvement without evidence. Shifting gears, a man from Alabama, Arthur Ray Hanson II, was indicted for threatening a Georgia prosecutor and sheriff involved in the investigation into Donald Trump's alleged election interference. He left threatening voicemails in the lead-up to charges against Trump and is set to be arraigned on November 13th, claiming innocence. In the automotive industry, General Motors and the United Auto Workers union have reached a tentative agreement mirroring the deal struck with Ford. It includes a 25% wage increase over a 4.5-year contract, cost-of-living adjustments, profit sharing, and a 3-year progression to a top wage of approximately $42 per hour. The agreement also allows GM employees to transfer to battery or electric vehicle plants for job security amid the transition to electric vehicles.

In our ongoing coverage of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, we invite retired U.S. Army Colonel and senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Lawrence Wilkerson, to offer his experienced and unsparing perspective. Then our resident constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, weighs in on how in this conflict the United States violates a number of international laws.Lawrence Wilkerson is a retired U.S. Army colonel. Over his 31 years of service, Colonel Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005, and Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colonel Wilkerson also served as Deputy Director and Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia, and for fifteen years he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and co-founder of the All-Volunteer Force Forum.  * Here is former director in the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs Josh Paul's op-ed in the Washington Post: “Opinion: This is not the State Department I know. That's why I left my job.”Bibi [Netanyahu] is very strategically allied with Hamas. Hamas does not believe in a two-state solution. They are adamantly opposed to a two-state solution. They want a Palestinian state and Israel gone. But Bibi sympathizes with that because he wants an Israeli state and the Palestinians gone. So he's very much willing to work with Hamas— not explicitly, but certainly tacitly and implicitly.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonNetanyahu's goal here is to stay out of jail.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonBiden doesn't seem to distinguish between the subjugators and the subjugated… Factually, it's pretty clear that the difference in military superpower on the side of the Israelis and the U.S., compared to the feeble weaponry of the Palestinians (if they're even able to acquire them) it's probably the greatest gap in modern history between the occupier and the occupied. Why doesn't Biden recognize that? He's supposed to be a foreign policy expert… Why doesn't he recognize those basic facts?Ralph NaderBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law.  Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.* Here is Ralph Nader and Bruce Fein's October 24, 2023 letter to President Joe Biden on the subject of the Biden Administration's public response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.You put all [the facts] together and it really is almost laughable to have the President of the United States stand up there and proclaim the fundamental principle of U.S. international foreign policy is making a rule-based international order. As he's violating the order himself. Bruce FeinIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 10/25/231. High ranking State Department official Josh Paul has resigned from the agency, citing the Biden administration's hard line on support for Israel's attacks on Gaza, per the Huffington Post. Paul, who oversaw top-level arms sales at the State Department, said “When I came to this bureau ... I knew it was not without its moral complexity and moral compromises, and I made myself a promise that I would stay for as long as I felt … the harm I might do could be outweighed by the good I could do…I am leaving today because I believe that in our current course with regards to the continued – indeed, expanded and expedited – provision of lethal arms to Israel – I have reached the end of that bargain.” In a later interview with PBS NewsHour, Paul stated that human rights abuses by the IDF are tracked, but routinely ignored by the State Department's senior leadership.2. Adding to this staff revolt, the Intercept reports sixteen former campaign staffers for Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania sent a letter calling on the Senator to back a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, writing “it is not too late to change your stance and stand on the righteous side of history.” Fetterman has thus far been a hawkish supporter of Israel in this war. This letter follows a similar letter to Senator Elizabeth Warren, wherein 260 of her former presidential campaign staff urged her to call for a ceasefire as well, per POLITICO. The Messenger also reports Representative Ro Khanna's political director has resigned in protest of Khanna's opposition to a ceasefire resolution. 2. The United Nations reports that on October 18th, the United States vetoed a Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution, authored by Brazil's UN delegation, won the support of 12 of the council's 15 members, but the sole veto of the United States was enough to kill to the measure. The American UN ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, justified the veto by saying “this resolution did not mention Israel's right of self-defence.” No other delegation voted against the resolution, though the United Kingdom and Russia abstained from voting.4. USA Today reports that Starbucks and the Starbucks workers union have filed “dueling lawsuits over [a] pro-Palestine social media post.” Starbucks claims the post – which read simply "Solidarity with Palestine!" –  “damaged the company's reputation,” with executive vice president Sara Kelly claiming this implies the union's “support for violence perpetrated by Hamas” On the other hand, the union alleges that this is nothing more than another tactic in Starbucks' “illegal anti-union campaign” with the company “falsely attacking the union's reputation with workers and the public.” Since 2021, over 330 unfair labor practice charges have been filed against Starbucks with the National Labor Relations Board.5. As the United Auto Workers strike continues, the union has already achieved major concessions from the auto companies. These include General Motors, Ford, Stellantis offering a 23% wage increase,  Ford agreeing to reduce the progression period to reach peak wages from 8 years to 3 – with Stellantis agreeing to 4 years – and Ford agreeing to reinstate cost of living adjustments, per the Detroit Free Press. Union president Shawn Fain continues to press the companies however, noting forcefully that even as Ford claims to be financially strained, they announced a $600 million dividend to shareholders just this week.6. The Hill reports that the Senators are “zero[ing] in” on national standards for name, image, and likeness rights for college athletes. Senator Blumenthal of Connecticut said in a recent hearing on the issue “The system of college athletics is in need of reform. The system all too long has been exploitative and abusive, emotionally [and] physically.” Witnesses at the hearing testified that national standards would help avoid major disparities in compensation across state lines, and would ensure protections for student athletes in sports besides football and basketball. The senators assembled largely agreed that national standards are necessary, though some – like Senator Hawley of Missouri – fretted about the possibility of student athletes unionizing.7. Axios reports that DC lawmakers have proposed an innovative bill that would “allocate $11 million annually to…Residents [who] could use those vouchers to support any local news outlet of their choice.” This proposal was pioneered by the Democracy Policy Network or DPN, co-founded by Pete Davis. DPN volunteer Mark Histed is said of the bill “We believe that markets are not sufficient to provide the level of journalism that we need in a democracy.” If the DC council passes the bill, the district would join New Mexico, California, and New Jersey in providing state funds for local journalism.8. 33 states have filed a lawsuit against Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta, alleging that the tech titan “routinely collects data on children under 13 without their parents' consent, in violation of federal law,” per AP. In addition, nine state attorneys general are filing lawsuits in their states, meaning nearly every single state in the nation – and Washington D.C. – are taking action. New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement, “Meta has profited from children's pain by intentionally designing its platforms with manipulative features that make children addicted…while lowering their self-esteem.”9. On October 24th, the California Department of Motor Vehicles issued a statement declaring the immediate suspension of permits issued to the company Cruise, which had allowed them to test and deploy driverless taxicabs in the state. The California DMV wrote “When there is an unreasonable risk to public safety, the DMV can immediately suspend or revoke permits,” further noting that there is no set time limit for a suspension, and that the suspension is effective immediately.10. Finally, the Minnesota Reformer is out with a story on how the Minneapolis police department and local government conspired to run a protection racket targeting small, minority-owned businesses in the city. Put simply, “Some businesses…are required by the city to have security, which until 2020, sometimes had to be off-duty Minneapolis police officers…The city doesn't keep track of how much officers are working or how much they're paid, or even have access to the contracts…Some officers are still paid in cash, increasing the risk of tax evasion. And, several business owners and Minneapolis officials said some small business owners — particularly those owned by immigrants — have been led to believe they must hire MPD officers, or risk getting ghosted by police.” One of the officers involved in this racket was none other than Derek Chauvin, later convicted of murdering George Floyd and setting off riots in the city that, in an ironic twist, led to the destruction of one of the businesses he had been been involved in “protecting.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Today's Headlines: A tragic active shooter incident in Lewiston, Maine took 22 lives and left dozens injured across three locations: a bowling alley, a nearby restaurant, and a Walmart distribution center. Meanwhile, the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency warned of a critical situation in Gaza, where a shortage of fuel threatens to halt humanitarian operations, particularly impacting premature babies in need of incubators. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's televised defense of Hamas and criticism of Israel has raised concerns over the source's credibility. In the United States, a significant increase in antisemitic incidents was reported following the Israel-Gaza conflict, highlighting the need to address rising hate crimes. The House of Representatives elected Louisiana Representative Mike Johnson as Speaker, despite his relatively short tenure and divisive political stances. In a courtroom drama, former President Donald Trump faced a $10,000 fine for violating a gag order and continued to make controversial statements outside the trial. The United Auto Workers reached a new labor agreement with Ford Motors, increasing worker pay and reinstating cost of living adjustments. Lastly, Meta faces lawsuits from states' attorneys-general, alleging that the company contributes to youth mental health issues and violates laws by collecting data on children under 13. These actions come after the European Union demanded transparency from Meta and TikTok in countering illegal content during the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades. But, in 2022, support for unions among Americans was the highest it's been in decades. This dissonance is due, in part, to the difficulties of one important phase in the life cycle of a union: setting up a union in the first place. One place where that has been particularly clear is at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.Back in 2008, Volkswagen announced that they would be setting up production in the United States after a 20-year absence. They planned to build a new auto manufacturing plant in Chattanooga. Volkswagen has plants all over the world, all of which have some kind of worker representation, and the company said that it wanted that for Chattanooga too. So, the United Auto Workers, the union that traditionally represents auto workers, thought they would be able to successfully unionize this plant. They were wrong.In this episode, we tell the story of the UAW's 10-year fight to unionize the Chattanooga plant. And, what other unions can learn from how badly that fight went for labor.
