We've got an especially internationalist show this week. After our headlines we start our main stories with some of the recent industrial action taken by French workers ahead of and during the ongoing Olympic Games. Next we discuss the mass protest last week against the speech by genocidal war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington DC, including a historic contingent from the labor movement. Workers in South Korea are fighting to pass a law against absurd fines for striking, but facing major interference from both local and US corporate interests. NUMSA workers at Ford in South Africa recently won a partial victory, securing a bonus after striking against Ford's profit hoarding. We also discuss a recent piece from Prism Reports on the 2 years of the fight for a contract by workers at REI. Finally, we have yet another major union with at Microsoft, as the workers at World of Warcraft this week announced the formation of their own wall-to-wall union, another big organizing win by the CWA.
