For our first story this week we were lucky to be joined by labor reporter Claudia Irizarry Aponte from The City to follow up on the story she broke about alleged sweatshop conditions in a Brooklyn tobacco factory. Next we discuss the sad news that the Medieval Times union drive has been forced to disband after two years of vicious, illegal repression by the company. Boston commuter rail workers are prepared for a strike, despite the restrictions of the Railway Labor Act. Texas is working to destroy the Houston Independent School District in an attempt at full scale privatization. Italy's neofascist ruling party proposed using AI to sort workers into mandatory jobs. Finally, we close by following up with the ways workers around the world are standing up and demanding an end to the genocide in Palestine.
