Ep 221 - Cornell Stands Up!
🕑 Added 2024-08-20 15:28:48 +0000 UTCWe start this week's episode with some quick check ins on: recent organizing wins by the Teamsters, a new strike at Samsung, ULPs filed against Donald Trump by the UAW, a new CEO at Starbucks, and flight attendants at Alaska Airlines fighting for a record contract. We also follow up on the long haul strike by workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, as the NLRB has finally intervened. Workers stood up in cities across the country for Heat Week, demanding basic heat protections from their employers. A wild story from The Guardian this week as SkyWest airlines faces a lawsuit for running an old school company union. Residents of East Palestine are crying foul as new reports emerged that the CDC covered up workers getting sick during the cleanup of the disastrous derailment, attempting to minimize the scandal around the crash. Finally, we discuss the strike by workers at Cornell after months of refusal by administrators to bargain in good faith.
