Karel Cast Podcast #181 Angela Bassett Oscar Loss, Plus #1 Plant on the Planet Racism! It's Racism! Or is it? Angela Bassett lost the Oscar to Jamie Lee Curtis. Was it racism? Or was it the fact that one performance was better? Well, it's complex. Plus, I didn't really like Wakanda Forever and there's that. I mean, a Black Panther movie should have, you know, the Black Panther. Then William Shurtleff from the SoyInfo Institute talks about the most economically important plant on the planet and why you don't eat it. Watch on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcast.

Karel Cast Podcast #181 Angela Bassett Oscar Loss, Plus #1 Plant on the Planet

Leslie is joined by Deputy Director of the Teamsters' Airline Division, Bob Fisher.

First, Bob breaks down how Mechanics and related classifications at FedEx Express, the largest cargo airline in the United States, have launched an organizing drive to join the Teamsters.
The workers’ campaign to form their union grew organically, with the mechanics reaching out to the union, signing thousands of authorization cards, and taking other actions to move along the organizing process all on their own.

Second, Leslie and Bob discuss the unprecedented news that the Teamsters, the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM), and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) have united to organize roughly 45,000 Delta Air Lines workers.

The Teamsters represent tens of thousands of aviation technicians. Those at companies like United Airlines and UPS Air Cargo are among the highest paid in the craft. Their collective bargaining agreements have raised the bar across the entire industry.

However, Delta has been difficult to unionize in the past and has the fewest union members of the four largest passenger carriers (only the pilots and controllers are unionized).
A big part of the reason that Delta's techs are organizing is because they have serious concerns about job security.
Without a union, they can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. They also have no protection against outsourcing to foreign repair stations.

Outsourcing is a big problem in aircraft maintenance. Not only does it lead to less good-paying union jobs in America. It also threatens passenger safety. Delta outsources a great deal of its fleet maintenance.

Atlanta is Delta Air Lines’ headquarters and reportedly the largest employer in the city. An organizing victory at the company would be a monumental achievement – not just for the aviation craft, but for the entire labor movement in the South.

The Teamsters represent members in the airline industry, including mechanics, customer service agents, reservationists, simulator technicians, ramp agents, stock clerks, dispatch personnel, flight attendants and pilots.
The Teamsters Airline Division continues to negotiate some of the best contracts in the industry, making Teamster contracts and membership the best choice for airline-industry employees. Over the past few years, the Teamsters Airline Division has focused its efforts not only on giving their members a voice in the workplace and in Washington, but also on being a voice for the American traveling public.

Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Visit Teamster.org for more information.

Mark is joined by a colleague of his in Virginia's state Congress, state Senator Amanda Chase.

A conservative Republican, Amanda spent the entire hour with Mark discussing their differences on policy, and what it means to be a conservative in the era of President Trump.

Senator Chase argues that there can be common ground found between opposing political sides, and believes not all Republicans have to behave like their President, even if one agrees with his policy decisions.

In this hour of "The Leslie Marshall Show," Leslie is joined by Fred Redmond, International Vice President (Human Affairs) for the United Steelworkers (USW).

On the 50th anniversary of the "Stonewall Riots" in NYC, commonly credited with the birth of the LGBTQ rights movement, Fred shares the new pro-LGBTQ initiatives that the USW is undertaking.

In a movement to both bolster LGTBQ involvement in the labor movement, and also dispel previous stereotypes of the typical 'blue collar worker,' (i.e. white, male, middle-aged, mid-Western), Fred thinks now is the best time to rethink how Labor Unions treat and support members of the LGBTQ community.

By partnering with the 'Pride at Work' non-profit organization, the USW is primed to augment their LGBTQ workers in their ongoing fight for social and economic justice.
