Fighting for telework

20 minutes

Broadcast on July 7, 2022

Hosted by Chris Garlock & Ed Smith

Sean Hendley, former president of AFSCME Local 3399, reports on how Takoma Park City Manager Jamal Fox has wasted more than $33,000 in city taxpayer funds on legal fees to fight a city employee’s request for six days of telework, which would have cost nothing.

Plus labor news headlines: Americans have lost confidence in everything from organized religion to Congress, but their faith in unions is staying strong; Production workers on “The Simpsons,” “American Dad!” and “Family Guy” secured voluntary recognition from 20th Television Animation after more than 90% of eligible workers voted to join The Animation Guild (IATSE Local 839); I Got Fired for Unionizing at Starbucks. And I’d Do It Again.

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella and Kahlia Chapman.
