The Upsurge; Work Week Radio; BCTGM Voices Project; Working to Live In Southwest Washington

Contract talks covering hundreds of thousands of UPS workers broke down on Wednesday and Teamsters are now staging practice pickets across the country; on The Upsurge podcast, we find out where UPS fits into the Logistics Revolution in global capitalism and what it might mean for building worker power.

Next, we go to San Francisco, where Work Week Radio reports on a rally that united taxi drivers, Uber and Lyft drivers; they’re all worried about robot taxi cabs, which they warn pose a threat to safety and jobs.

Memphis is our next stop, as workers at IFF, International Flavors and Fragrances, talk to the BCTGM Voices Project about why they’ve been on strike since June 4. BCTGM Voices is the podcast from the Bakery Workers union.

Your email inbox is probably crammed with messages asking you to sign an online petition, write a letter or show up at an event. Does it really matter? On the Working to Live In Southwest Washington podcast, we find out how messages like these helped save jobs at Clark College, and why the smallest actions can make a BIG difference.

Union Talk; I AM Story; Union Dues; Stick Together; Tales from the Reuther Library

On today’s show, we wrap up Pride Month with a special episode of Union Talk, the podcast from the American Federation of Teachers, as AFT President Randi Weingarten talks with Brian Bond, the executive director of PFLAG, about the history and power of the LGBTQIA+ community and the current fight against hateful policies impacting students, teachers and families.

Then, Episode 4 of the I AM STORY podcast looks at the impact the strike had on the lives of the people involved and the challenges workers have faced in the years since.

On the Union Dues podcast, which comes to us from the UK, we step into the fray of sexual harassment.  Guided by Andrea Oates, author of an excellent new publication on sexual harassment, the podcast drills down into questions of definitions, legal remedies, and effective union campaigns – on awareness, prevention, reporting, monitoring and, of course, representation.

Next stop Australia, as the Stick Together podcast goes outside Victoria Trades Hall in Melbourne, where a very large crowd gathered for the unveiling of a statue of workers' hero Zelda D’prano, a fighter for women's equality and a mighty union woman.

In our final segment, Dr. Josiah Rector tells the Tales from the Reuther Library podcast about how more than a century of unregulated industrial capitalism and racist practices in housing and employment in Detroit have created pollution and environmental disasters disproportionately affecting the poor, the working class, and particularly African Americans.

BONUS TRACK: The year was 1928; that was the day the state of Alabama outlawed the convict lease system, in practice for decades. From Labor History in 2:00.
