Todd McGowan & Ryan Engley of the Why Theory podcast joined us for a discussion of the complicated personal and theoretical relationships between Jacques Lacan and Felix Guattari.  There is the backdrop of the broad implications of theories of the unconscious and capitalism.

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.

We start with some quick headlines from South Korea, The Netherlands, Canada, Mexico, and Colorado Springs. For our first main story we discuss the devastation created by this year's hurricanes and how workers are banding together to help folks survive. Next we head to Australia where workers at Woolworths recently won a strike against control of their lives by algorithms. The Canadian government stepped in once again this week to crush workers, this time forcing a halt to the Canada Post strike. We've got another update on the efforts by workers to fight against complicity in genocide, and the repression hurled at them by university administrations. Finally, in a major announcement, the Teamsters are done waiting around at Amazon and are ready to strike if the company doesn't come to the table.
