In Los Angeles, the second largest school district in the United States, 98% of teachers voted to authorize a strike. Filmmakers Yoni Golijob and Yael Bridge shadowed L.A. teachers for five months as they organize and strike, providing a unique first-hand account of collective democracy and labor action, and shedding light on the nationwide teacher strike upswell. Their film "Why We Fight" documents one of the largest educator strikes in modern U.S. history in real-time, highlighting the stories and leadership of some of the women who led it, from union leaders to classroom teachers. In our latest, we talk with Yoni and Yael, as well as LA teacher and labor leader Arlene Inouye about the 2019 and 2023 strikes, how they organized, the impacts they had on education and politics and how it fits in with the "Hot Labor Summer" we've been seeing this year. Bio// Yoni Golijov is a nonfiction filmmaker; his producing work has been nominated for the Academy Award and the BAFTA and has won an Independent Spirit Award. Yael Bridge is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker. Her first feature, The Big Scary "S" Word, explores the history and resurgence of socialism in the United States Arlene Inouye was the chair of the bargaining committee in 2019 and the last contract, 2023, and was integral to leading the strike that the film documents and the incredible solidarity strike that UTLA took this year with their SEIU school co-workers. ------------------------------------------------ Outro- "There is Power in a Union." by Utah Phillips Links// +"Why We Fight": https://www.whenwefightmovie.com/ Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/ Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at ⁠ patreon.com/greenredpodcast⁠ +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Meanwhile, Texas continues the march towards right wing dystopia with a fanatical bill that under the guise of “parental rights” aims to shift public funding to religious schools, eliminate LGBTQ people from history class, and enshrine a chilling effect that will prevent schools from providing a culturally responsive education to marginalized students.

In this episode we go to Los Angeles, where school staff are striking and schools are shut down. The Service Employees International Union, Local 99, which represents about 30,000 teachers' aides, special education assistants, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers, special education assistants and other support staff, walked out amid stalled contract talks on Tuesday, March 21st, for a 3-day strike. SEIU Local 99 members voted overwhelmingly (96% in favor) to authorize a strike last month. During the strike vote and contract bargaining process, the district subjected workers to surveillance, intimidation, and harassment. LA's teachers' union has joined the labor action, refusing to cross their colleagues' picket line, essentially leaving the second-largest school district in the US closed for business until the strike is over. We're joined by Bryant Odega, a substitute teacher at the HArts academy, housed in Narbonne High School – a school in the LA Unified School District. Bryant is a member of the LA teachers' union (United Teachers of LA or UTLA). He joins us from the picket line outside his workplace. Staying on theme, we move back to Oakland, where contract negotiations between the teachers union and the district went from a double-digit raise down to a 3.5% raise, and even that low number's funding would come from cuts to other staff, like SEIU and AFSCME classified staff who do things like special ed support, and food prep. On Friday, March 24th, school workers and teachers are planning a walkout as a wildcat strike action. We're joined by one of the teachers impacted – Marika Iyer is an English and Ethnic Studies Teacher at Oakland High School. —- Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post LA School Staff on Strike while Oakland Teachers Plan a Wildcat Strike Action appeared first on KPFA.

Today on Sojourner Truth: The six-day teachers strike in Los Angeles, the second-largest school district in the nation, has ended after teachers and staff members approved a new agreement between the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) and the school district. Teachers are returning to the classrooms today. Whats in the contract? What, if anything, did teachers give up? How long will it take to implement the agreement? Our guest is Arlene Inouye, chair of the UTLA bargaining team. She has worked in the L.A. public school system for over 25 years. The story of what is happening with migrant children separated from their families or being held in family detention centers has fallen out of focus in mainstream media. But last week, the administration of Donald Trump admitted that there are thousands more children separated than the 2,737 previously reported and that they really don't know how many were separated. It is unclear where the children are. Our guest is Peter Schey, executive director of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law. They provide legal defense for migrant children. Dr. Melina Abdullah, a founder of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, has been charged by the City of Los Angeles with eight criminal misdemeanor counts stemming from her activism relating to LAPD killings of Black and Brown youth. Melina is our guest today for our ongoing series Campaigners for Black Lives.

Today on Sojourner Truth: We continue our coverage of the massive Los Angeles teachers strike, now in its fourth day. Previous days have seen massive rallies of tens of thousands of teachers and supporters and pickets at the 900 Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) schools that are impacted. There are 30,000 teachers out on strike. Now, United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA), the union representing the teachers, say they are going back to the bargaining table. Our guest is Arlene Inouye, chair of the UTLA bargaining team, a UTLA secretary and a speech and language specialist. Arlene has worked within the LAUSD system for over 25 years and has three generations of LAUSD students in her family. In recent days, we have seen a lot of coverage of the Women's March, which is coming up on its third anniversary this Saturday. You may remember the massive women's marches that have taken place since Donald Trump has been in office. The third annual Women's March is taking place in Los Angeles, New York City, Washington D.C. and other cities. This years march is not without controversy. Nonetheless, hundreds of thousands are expected to hit the streets on Saturday, January 19. Our guests are Gina Belafonte with Women's March Los Angeles (who is organizing the program) and Emiliana Guereca, chair of the Women's March Foundation - Los Angeles. And for our weekly Earth Watch, we speak with Adam Carlesco about water issues in the United States. Adam is a staff attorney for climate and energy matters with Food & Water Watch, an international non-profit committed to protecting drinking water, promoting sustainable agriculture and ending global reliance upon fossil fuels through social activism and legal action. On Monday, January 14, the Food & Water Watch organization submitted a letter to the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights bringing to light numerous troubling water issues in the United States. This comes as Washington is up for review for its federally-mandated compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, or ICCPR.
