This week, we feature two reports on the strike by Kellogg’s workers, members of the BCTGM -- that’s the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union – the first comes to us from the BCTGM Voices Project, the second is from The Checkout, which takes us right to the Kellogg's picket lines.Then, on the Union Talk podcast, a conversation with nurses on vaccine hesitancy within their patient communities and their own nursing community.This week on the Working to Live in Southwest Washington podcast, Shannon and Harold talk with April Sims about redistricting and how it will affect working people.Next up we have two reports from the classroom: on Educating From the Heart, a new rule by the State Board of Education restricts teachers' ability to teach critical thinking, and, from the Solidarity Breakfast podcast, safety in schools in Victoria. And on the Million Dollar Organizer podcast, travel perks and the difference between a union organizer and a union representative. How can actors avoid ending up on the cutting room floor? We’ll find out on The SAG-AFTRA podcast. We wrap up with the voice of the legendary Mother Jones at the recent Blair Mountain Battle Centennial, from Empathy Media Lab.Bonus track: Labor history in 2:00. The year was 1979; that was the day that the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took place in Washington D.C.
