Defense worker says “Cut the Pentagon budget”

55 minutes

Broadcast on December 2, 2021

Hosted by Chris Garlock and Ed Smith

This week's show: we talk with David Story, a defense industry worker who says it’s time to cut the Pentagon budget (and spend the money on unionized green jobs); then we catch up with James Schiffman, an associate professor in Georgia who was punished when he spoke out (‘We are teaching in COVID factories') about his concerns about his school’s lax covid policies.

Plus labor news headlines: M.L.B.’s lockout begins; Union workers ratify contract, end strike at WVa hospital; Citing new Omicron variant, nurses say permanent OSHA Covid-19 standard for health care workers badly needed; Judge orders Google to disclose secret anti-union documents.

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella & Kaliah Chapman.
