WW On IBU Alcatraz Cruise Workers Strike & Supreme Court & Workers, IBT & TechnoFascism

WorkWeek program covers IBU ILWU Alcatraz Cruise Workers Strike & Supreme Court & Workers

On this segment of WorkWeek we hear from striking workers and their supporters at Alcatraz Cruises who set up a picket line at Pier 33 on Saturday July 13th. They are fighting mandatory long hours, favoritism and for prevailing wages of other ferry boat workers on the San Francisco Bay.

Next WorkWeek looks at the actions of the Supreme Court to make Trump immune from the insurrection that he helped organize is not the only action to make the president above the law. They also voted to overturn the Chevron ruling that allowed government agencies like OSHA, EPA and the LRA to take action. Now all that can be challenged by reactionary anti-union judges.

We talked with labor professor and historian Robert Ovetz, author of When Workers Shot Back: Class Conflict from 1877 to 1921 and We the Elites: Why the US Constitution Serves the Few and talked to him about the recent court rulings which made Trump’s insurrection legal.
