Equal Rights and Justice; America Works; Labor History in 2:00; Labor Heritage Power Hour

Our shows today are themed around the holiday the nation just celebrated yesterday; but Thanksgiving looks a bit different depending on where you stand, so from Equal Rights and Justice, Building Bridges host Mimi Rosenberg connects the struggles of native peoples both here in the U.S. and in Palestine.

And from America Works, an interview with Mike Williams, a dirt track auto racer at the famed Ransomville Speedway in western New York, interviewed at his home on the Tuscarora Nation reservation.

Today’s Labor History in 2:00 is actually from July 11, 1968, the day that the American Indian Movement began at a meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when a group of 200 Native Americans gathered together to discuss a response to the US governments’ history of broken treaties and the devastating consequences on Native peoples.

We wrap up with the Labor Heritage Power Hour, which talked with Kevin Cummings, a member of the Machinists Union for 35 years; Kevin is also a Native American who traces his lineage to both the Lumbee and Cherokee peoples, which means that he’s spent his life fighting for rights, whether it was his fellow workers or his Native brothers and sisters. We end the show with Kevin’s powerful song Stolen Angels, about the many indigenous women who are still missing.

Union-busting in America’s national parks (Encore)

Originally released October 8, 2022
On this week’s show: An update on the Case New Holland strike from the Work Stoppage podcast. Then, reports from two education-focused podcasts: from AFT In Action, a conversation highlighting the advantages that a strong labor-management relationship can have on working conditions and student learning; and, from CTU Speaks! co-hosts Andrea Parker and Jim Staros talk with Lauren Bianchi and Chuck Stark, two teachers at Washington High School that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot sought to fire this past summer. Their crime? Teaching their students about the city’s plan to move the toxic metal shredding corporation General Iron from wealthy Lincoln Park to the Southeast Side, which has already suffered more pollution and toxic industry than almost any other region of Chicago.
Do you get lost in all the mumbo jumbo of incentives for developers and wonder what they cost taxpayers, local government, school districts and even the public library? This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, the basics of TIFS and Star Bonds and other ways we subsidize builders.
Our last segment comes from 43-15: A Labor Lab Podcast: when tour guides at Yellowstone National Park started unionizing to bargain for higher wages, a consistent work schedule, and better housing conditions, they were quickly fired. We’ll hear from Ty Wheeler, one of the fired tour guides.
