Ep 237 - Exploitation Superstore
🕑 Added 2024-12-10 16:20:22 +0000 UTCAfter an opening discussion of the powerful response of the South Korean people and their labor movement to last week's attempted coup, we dive into out headlines. We've got updates on the organizing drive by Boston doctors, Amazon Teamsters, workers at the Noguchi Museum, and the jackass owners of Bigfoot Beverages. The Teamsters blasted Costco this week for its ramped up union busting during ongoing contract negotiations. VW workers in Germany are in the midst of a historic series of warning strikes that could greatly expand in the coming year. An auto parts company in NY is facing a class action lawsuit for superexploiting their immigrant workforce. New York is facing a lawsuit itself for enabling systematic wage theft of home health workers. Finally, we discuss the proposed "4 day workweek" being tested in Japan.
