5pm - Unionized Starbucks workers hit the picket line in Seattle // Kaite Wilson kicks of victory lap by boycotting Starbucks // John’s Monologue on Socialism // LETTERS

PREVIEW Jim Mctague recounts meeting two retired tourists who feel the economy is strong (e.g., shipyards are short workers) but note rising food prices alongside a high stock market. Although artificial intelligence will not affect them, they hold a palpable fear that younger people will lose jobs due to AI, attributing this widespread anxiety to the power of the press. Guest: Jim Mctague.

Flat Beveridge strikes again. You know the drill. We've been stuck in forgot how to grow and its no-hire/no-fire labor market the past few years. That began to change last year, especially last summer when no-hiring somehow got to be even less hiring. Then last year and this year, no-firing became some firing, in other words, shifting to the flat part of the Beveridge curve. But what we've been getting more recently looks to be an escalation in firing. Verizon just announced it may be cutting 15% of its 100,000 strong workforce.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Over 1,000 unionized Starbucks workers in over 40 cities across the US walked off the job on an indefinite Unfair Labor Practice strike on Thursday, Nov. 13. The union, Starbucks Workers United, says more workers at more unionized stores will be joining the picket line during the busy holiday season to pressure Starbucks to return to the bargaining table with proposals that seriously address workers' ongoing demands regarding better pay and work hours, safe staffing, and resolving the hundreds of Unfair Labor Practice charges that have been filed against the coffee giant.

Workers involved in tomb construction in the Valley of the Kings staged the earliest recorded strike in history on 14th November, 1157 B.C. Having not been paid their ration of food for 18 days, they set about disrupting temple life and rituals, to the shock of Pharaoh Ramses III's administration. The workers' struggle wasn't solely about wages; it reflected broader discontent, too, as they voiced concerns about alleged corruption, such as barley being replaced with dirt in payments. And the strike indicated a shift in the workers' perceptions, as they realised they couldn't rely solely on the divine authority of the Pharaoh to meet their basic needs. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how Ancient Egypt was financially decimated by the suppression of the ‘Sea Peoples'; explain how an offer of cake was (unsurprisingly) not enough to pacify the protests; and consider whether the workers' picket-line slogans needed a little workshopping…  Further Reading: • ‘When Was The First Strike In History?'

An official in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley made a troubling discovery about the county's Office of Youth Services. Workers were taking action against a large number of families based on the diagnosis of a hospital specialist…diagnoses that were frequently proven wrong. He argued money was wasted and lives were destroyed by an overabundance of caution from one doctor. Dr. Debra Jenssen made a career in multiple states finding signs of abuse others hadn't found, and strong-arming authorities to take action against unsuspecting caretakers. Parents, social workers - and even judges - claimed the specialist too often misdiagnosed illness or accident as trauma, rejected contrary evidence, and upended families in a misguided effort to protect children. The podcast “The Preventionist” from Serial Productions and The New York Times explores the rise of a powerful new field in medicine and the consequences of its “better safe than sorry” application by one doctor. Host Dyan Neary also highlights the story of a family trying to piece itself together after authorities took action on a questionable diagnosis of child abuse.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE PREVENTIONIST" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 10 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

Four years after the first Starbucks store in the US unionized in 2021, workers across the country are still facing rampant union busting and still fighting for a first contract with the coffee giant. That is why a supermajority of unionized baristas with Starbucks Workers United recently voted to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike, which is set to begin on Thursday, Nov. 13, on "Red Cup Day," in over 25 cities around the US. "Union baristas mean business and are ready to do whatever it takes to win a fair contract and end Starbucks' unfair labor practices," says Michelle Eisen, Starbucks Workers United spokesperson and 15-year veteran barista. "If Starbucks keeps stonewalling, they should expect to see their business grind to a halt. The ball is in Starbucks' court." In this urgent episode, we speak with Eisen about the impending strike and the state of the yearslong union struggle at Starbucks.  Additional links/info:  "No Contract, No Coffee!" website Starbucks Workers United website, Facebook page, Bluesky page, Instagram, and TikTok Starbucks Workers United press release: "With 92% 'Yes' vote, union Starbucks baristas overwhelmingly authorize ULP strike" Dee-Ann Durbin, Associated Press, "Starbucks' union workers plan strike next week unless company agrees to a contract" Alina Selyukh, NPR, "Starbucks is closing more stores and laying off 900 workers" Michael Sainato, The Guardian, "A year under CEO Niccol: Starbucks workers' long fight for a union contract" Featured Music:  Jules Taylor, Working People Theme Song Credits:  Audio Post-Production: Jules Taylor

Steve Gruber sits down with Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Committee and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, to discuss a bold new legislative push to protect independent-minded workers from unwanted union control. Sen. Bill Cassidy's Worker RESULTS Act aims to restore workplace democracy by mandating secret-ballot union elections, banning coercive “card check” organizing, and cutting back on union bosses' ability to block workers from voting out ineffective representation. Mark explains how this proposal stands in stark contrast to other plans, like Sen. Josh Hawley's “Faster Labor Contracts Act,” which could impose forced arbitration and strip workers of their rights. This conversation highlights the fight to defend worker freedom and choice in the workplace.

Combatting climate change will likely require a multi-pronged approach to renewable energy generation. After all, it's not sunny or windy everywhere all the time. Geothermal energy, which harnesses the natural heat generated by the earth, can significantly shrink the carbon footprint of heating and cooling buildings. Those systems are currently just a small part of the HVAC market. But the Department of Energy wants to accelerate production by 10% a year. Rae Solomon at KUNC in Northern Colorado reports on how one geothermal project in the municipality of Hayden is progressing.

Being constantly connected is part of the work landscape now - but it's not without risk. Whether its email or group chats, what employees pop in their messages can sometimes become problematic.

She'll talk to the risks, particularly for small businesses who might not have HR teams. So what kind of everyday messaging at work might cross professional or legal lines? And how can both staff and employers stay safe?

Are you covered for what you actually do today—not what you did last year? We walk through our annual insurance review. We cover the "must-haves", when bonding makes sense, and why non-owned auto and business property matter once you add staff or an office. We also explain what petsitting business insurance does not cover—and how workers' comp and personal health insurance fit in. Finally, we share practical risk-management habits and the customer-service "intangibles" we expect from any insurer. Main topics: Core coverage essentials Care, custody & control Non-owned auto protection Workers' comp vs. health Risk management habits Main takeaway: "Insurance is not about fear. It's about good stewardship of the pets, of the homes, and the trust that the clients place in us." We build our business on trust, which means planning for real-world moments—not pretending they won't happen. The right coverage protects pets, homes, neighbors, employees, and yes, you. It also lets us say to clients with confidence: if something goes wrong, we have a plan and a policy. That's professional care, not hobby care—and it's why our annual insurance checkup matters.

In this episode of Insurance Shoptalk, host Eric Stein of Insured Solutions speaks with Bob Butts of Alternative Comp Solutions (ACS) about Ohio's newly approved Alternative Employer Organization (AEO) program—an innovative alternative to the state's traditional Bureau of Workers' Compensation system. They discuss how this new model allows agents to finally earn commissions on workers' comp, helps employers save 20–30% on premiums, introduces a convenient pay-as-you-go billing structure, and simplifies claims management. The conversation also explores how AEOs differ from PEOs, what agents need to know about the AC3 form and quoting process, and why this change opens major opportunities for agencies across Ohio.

In this thoughtful and gently sardonic episode of Mark and Pete, we take a reflective walk through three very British stories of courage, dignity, and the quietly absurd. First, we consider Remembrance: the solemn honour we give to those who laid down their lives, and the rather patchier support we offer to the veterans and service personnel who are still alive and carrying scars we cannot see. With Scripture in hand, we look at what true honour means — not only silence at the Cenotaph, but practical compassion in daily life. Next, we turn to the North Sea, where oil workers have been told to lose weight to meet helicopter seat restrictions. This raises questions about workplace dignity, corporate priorities, and whether human beings should be measured in service of the ledger. It's serious — but we do enjoy a wry chuckle along the way. Finally, we celebrate the opening of the National Centre for Illustration by Sir Quentin Blake — a tribute to the imaginative, joyful, slightly wobbly line that has shaped childhoods across the English-speaking world. With a nod to the biblical artisan Bezalel, we reflect on how creativity is not merely decoration but a gift of the Spirit.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.Supporters get updates on new projects and hot takes on the latest news plus Mark and Pete Extra  in depth commentary episodes and Mark and Pete vs AI  comedy episodes.

In this episode of the No Negations Podcast, we dive into Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1–16) and explore what it teaches us about God's grace, fairness, and attitude toward others' blessings. Why do we sometimes struggle when someone else seems to receive the same reward with less effort? Are we serving God for recognition or out of gratitude? Join us as we break down this powerful lesson, challenge our perspectives on entitlement, and discuss how to cultivate a heart that celebrates God's generosity in every situation.

The U.S. agricultural industry depends on undocumented immigrants, but President Trump's immigration crackdown is further depleting an already tight workforce. The labor crisis may be setting the stage for big changes to a federal program that allows foreign workers into the country legally.

In today’s deepdive, American agriculture depends on foreign workers. President Trump’s immigration clampdown is shrinking a farm workforce that was already too small, and farm groups are sounding the alarm.

In February, a New York assemblyman little known outside New York City was polling at 1% in his bid for mayor of NYC.  This Tuesday, he became mayor-elect, after running a remarkable and inspiring campaign that drew 100,000 volunteers to knock on two million doors. Largely centering on making NYC affordable for everyone, Zohran Mamdani toppled a political dynasty by weaving together a broad constituency with his charisma, intelligence, compassion and energy. We talk to Liza Featherstone and Doug Henwood, who have covered Mamdani from the start. They talk about what went into the campaign, what he needs to do once in office to start to make good on his promises, and the national significance of his victory. Liza Featherstone is the author of Divining Desire: Focus Groups and the Culture of Consultation, published by O/R Books in 2018, as well as Selling Women Short: the Landmark Battle for Workers' Rights at Walmart (Basic Books, 2004).  She co-authored Students Against Sweatshops (Verso, 2002) and is editor of False Choices: the Faux Feminism of Hillary Rodham Clinton (Verso, 2016).

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss two shocking news stories exposing how autistic workers are being used as unpaid labour — ‘volunteering' in supermarkets and retail stores for months or even years, only to be dismissed the moment they ask to be paid.They break down how companies hide exploitation behind charity language and “work experience,” and how vulnerable adults are pressured to feel grateful for opportunities that would be paid roles for anyone else. Jordan and Simon talk about gaslighting, legal rights, and why disabled people are repeatedly told they should expect less — or nothing at all — from employers.Together, they explore:Why Autistic workers are vulnerable to workplace exploitationThe public's belief that disabled people should “just be grateful” to be thereGaslighting, low expectations, and the damage of being told you'll “never achieve anything”How parents and carers are often manipulated into accepting unpaid labour for their Autistic loved onesThe legal reality: taking advantage of a vulnerable person is a crimeWhy these stories matter and how many more are likely happening unseenThis episode is angry, honest, and necessary — shining a light on a system where disabled workers are treated as props, not people. If you work, you deserve to be paid. And if this is happening to you or someone you love, you're not alone — and it needs to be exposed.Our Sponsors:

Send us a textIn this episode, Yvonne and Rafael catch up with Judge David Langham, Deputy Chief Judge of the State of Florida, and a prolific writer, blogger, educator, and speaker. If you're curious about the history of Florida's workers' compensation system, and you want to learn what "stare decisis" is, don't miss our conversation with Judge Langham. He's widely recognized as the leading legal authority on this topic. In addition to a concise and thorough history lesson on the Florida work comp system, we discuss a few other key points specific to Florida. To access books and resources Judge Langham mentioned during the episode, including his free downloadable book: "Floridiana and the Workers' Compensation Adjudicators," visit www.dwlangham.com.Visit his Blogger profile to check out Judge Langham's blogs (there are several). Note: stare decisis is a legal term. According to LexisNexis, it means "to stand by things decided and not disturb settled points." They further explain, "The doctrine of stare decisis, or binding precedent, is the principle by which judges are bound by previous judicial decisions, especially of superior courts. To 'stand by things decided', the basis for the doctrine of precedent, there is no room for further examination or interpretation of a point or principle of law; the court is bound to the reasoning in the prior decision, unless there is a unique exception or the matter is before a higher court."¡Muchas Gracias!
