UK Modern Slavery Shocking Stats You Must Know!

Despite government stating that temporary migrant workers have the same minimum work rights as all other workers in Aotearoa, the conditions of their visas minimise these rights by rendering them dependent on particular employers, opening them up to greater incidences of exploitation. Guests Anu Kaloti (Migrant Workers Association) and Frances Collins (University of Auckland) discuss the issues facing temporary migrant workers, and what is being done to support them.

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, this week with special guest Lee Murkey, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them.

This week, Ryan Coogler's Sinners.

Twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to the Mississippi Delta from Chicago, bringing with them money and booze. The duo plan to open a juke joint for the local community, and set about preparing for the launch. Little do the pair realise that something sinister is stalking through the night, lurching towards their speakeasy, drawn by the siren call of the blues.

At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

Show Notes

419. Sinners (#---)

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik

It focuses specifically on one of the characters who is seemingly minor early on in the novel, but who turns out to be a character of major importance within the plot. Jory Miller is a young man in half-life who "eats" other people in half-life in the moratorium, consuming their life-force, leaving them at the mercy of the cold of half-life. He turns out to be the primary antagonist of the story, consuming the person previously thought to be the antagonist, Pat Conley.

Philip Dick, Ubik - Jory, The Malignant Force - Sadler's Lectures

We start this week with headlines on organizing in healthcare, logistics, airlines, construction, software development, video games, and trading cards. We did a deeper dive on a set of stories from Canada last week, this week we have three big stories from workers and farmers in India fighting against neoliberal exploitation. The next major step forward for Mexico's young independent labor movement may be coming up, as Labor Notes reports on efforts to bring new union SINTTIA to a second major plant from GM. The Supreme Court took a major step towards dismantling the NLRA and the entire post-Depression regime of contractual collective bargaining this week, and unions will need to shift tactics to respond. Finally, we discuss how the 4 day workweek is going in Iceland.
