Organizing with Union Kitchen, Starbucks and POTUS

Broadcast on February 10, 2022
Hosted by Chris Garlock & Ed Smith

Reports from the folks who are organizing a union at, yes, Union Kitchen here in Washington, DC, and at Starbucks in Virginia. Then, with the PRO Act blocked in the U.S. Senate by Republicans, has President Biden found another way for American workers who want to organize? Actually, he’s found almost 70 ways; we hear more from Damon Silvers at the AFL-CIO.
Today’s music: Union Town, by The Nightwatchman himself, Tom Morello.
Plus labor news headlines: Portland averts major municipal strike as city, union reach 11th hour agreement; Stop & Shop Union Negotiations Are Underway; A Las Vegas bartender was robbed at gunpoint. His bosses made him pay back the stolen money, a lawsuit says; ‘Unions benefit all of us’: new Biden plan encourages federal workers to unionize; Starbucks Fired Union Leaders In Memphis. Will Labor Law Protect The Workers?

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella and Ciera Shine.
