Todd McGowan & Ryan Engley - Guattari Avec Lacan

On last week’s episode we discussed the recent strike by workers organizing with Doughnut Workers United at Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland during the recent heat wave.  This week we were lucky enough to be able to interview one of the workers illegally fired in retaliation for that strike.  We discuss the general conditions at Voodoo Doughnuts, the tactics used by management to combat the union drive, and how the company tried to justify its firing of workers for a legally protected strike action over unsafe work conditions.

EP 58 - Doughnut Workers United Interview

Despite the holiday, workers never stop, so labor news doesn't either! After several stories of the agonizingly slow wheels of "justice" for workers in the legal system in our Headlines, we dive into our main stories. First we check in on the teachers of Beverly and Marblehead, MA, where new contracts have finally been ratified. Next we check in on the surge of organizing by the Teamsters at Amazon locations all over the country. Healthcare workers continue to unionize in big numbers, and not just nurses, we've got three stories this week of doctors unionizing. Shen Yun, everyone's least favorite billboard, have been SHOCKINGLY revealed to be using some extremely sketchy child labor practices. Finally, we check in with the ongoing strike by Canada Post workers, and some international solidarity.
