The Leslie Marshall Show -11/28/23- Workers Seizing the Moment
11/28/2023
Leslie is joined by Maria Somma, Organizing Director for the United Steelworkers (USW). The two discuss how workers across the economy – from automakers to health care workers – are using their collective power to ensure they have fair contracts and safe working conditions. The first step in this process is organizing, and as workers seek greater protections on the job, they’re capitalizing on this unique moment. It’s not just the hot labor market, though the recent low unemployment has certainly helped. The pandemic helped workers in a number of industries understand that they’re essential. It has also highlighted what they needed from their employers – in terms of job security, living wages, and more – as well as the power of working together to achieve these goals. Also, Joe Biden, the most pro-labor president in recent memory, has tasked his administration with helping workers to exercise their right to form unions. This unprecedented support, and whole of government approach, has helped tip the balance back toward workers, and away from greedy corporations. Workers are also experiencing a time of great potential as we look to the clean energy transition. Clean technology – like electric vehicles – require a wide variety of raw materials and other components. It’s essential that jobs from mining to manufacturing are good, community supporting jobs. That means ensuring workers can exercise their right to organize. The final step in organizing is not, as some might think, a successful vote, but a first contract. This is where corporations like Starbucks double down on their efforts to break workers’ collective will. We’ve seen this protracted bargaining at places like Kumho and OHL/Geodis, though the USW was ultimately successful in both cases. What workers need to help them successfully weather the immense challenges they face, including getting this vital first contract, is the PRO Act. The website for the United Steelworkers is USW.org and their handle on X and Instagram is @steelworkers. You can find them on Facebook by visiting Facebook.com/Steelworkers.

ANGER at Homeless; How to Start Change; Why We Need Holidays Karel Cast #283

ANGER at Homeless; How to Start Change; Why We Need Holidays Karel Cast #283 A few days ago I felt badly because I had someone trespassed out of the park for being homeless. The, I went back and he literally verbally attacked me as well as hurling bleach at me and Ember. And suddenly I realized how Empathy is in short supply these days. I decorated for Christmas, earlier than ever. Why? Because it's time to change things up. We all talk about wanting change, and then we don't make any, even subtle ones. Well, I'm starting to make them and I hope they inspire you to do the same. Also, did you ever think about why the holidays are in fact, the holidays. It goes beyond religion and right now we need them more than ever before for the very reason they were started. Watch on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcast.

DEVASTATING News from UN; Moral Dillema at Park; Gratitude! Karel Cast #281 The United Nations could not be any clearer: We are not going to reach our climate goals by 2030 at this rate; in fact, we may DOUBLE the actual 1.5 to 3.0 in temperature rise. That would mean catastrophic weather, refugees and food devastation. So why aren't we listening. It's easy. The one's doing all the polluting don't care because they are rich. It's the day before Thanksgiving. And what do I do? Turn someone at the park in for chronic homelessness. Was I wrong? We discuss. And tomorrow is Thanksgiving. So, let's give thanks.

WATCH NOW! Santos Just a Dupe? Health Care Woes; Is Thanksgiving Over? Karel Cast #280
11/20/2023
WATCH NOW! Santos Just a Dupe? Health Care Woes; Is Thanksgiving Over? Karel Cast #280 George Santos has committed almost as many crimes as Donald Trump. Almost. So why is he the only Congressperson being condemned so harshly? Sure, he's a liar. Find me on member of the GOP that isn't. Sure, he's a thief, a deceiver, can't speak the truth at all. Again, find me one member of the GOP who can. Why are they coming after him so hard and yet for decades have left so many unscathed? Is it the gay thing? Or? I had to go to ER to find out some answers. Not only did I not get answers, but I got an education in how America's health care system is truly just a big for-profit money grab, leaving patients and loved ones in the dirt. Columbus Day is all but a thing of the past. Should Thanksgiving follow suit?The truth is, we don't celebrate the harvest any more, as we have round the year foods. And it rooted in a myth that European Settlers got along with the indigenous people, which they did not. So why do we still have the Holiday that Lincoln proclaimed?
