We're discussing the Second Rainbow Coalition, Coalition Politics, and the events of the Peoples Coalition Rally which took place in Little Village (outside the Cook County Jail) in Chicago, IL on 24 September, 2022.

We go through a lot of topics in this, as always Chairman Jake is a wonderful guest. He's discussing why coalition politics are important, how they've been successful in the past, and the relationships that go with building them!

The FWAM staff attended a rally/press conference for the Amazon Labor Union in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference took place at the Phoenix National Labor Relations Board office (NLRB) where Amazon’s election objections hearing is being held (it’s open to the public, via zoom. The link to the tweet with the information is here.)

Attendees include ALU president Chris Smalls, vice-president, organizers, and more! The Conference was in relation to the 25 objections to the election held at JFK8 facility in Staten Island.

The Union won by over 500 votes, and Amazon filed TWENTY-FIVE objections to an election they very clearly lost. Furthermore, the subpoenaed the ENTIRE ALU leadership! Meaning, that due to a sequestration order, the Union leadership isn’t able to participate in the hearings, or bear witness to the entire proceeding, outside of their testimony.

Furthermore, they discuss how we can help… options include writing the Amazon board and telling them you support the ALU. Canceling your Prime membership, threatening to cancel with a letter or over the phone, attending rallies, sharing information on social media, boycotting Amazon, unionizing your own work place (and networking with people such as the ALU or Starbucks United who are already engaging in the struggle) as well as using the hashtags #RecognizeALU AND #HotLaborSummer

Local Starbucks activists also showed up to support the rally and to discuss organizing together in the future (Starbucks United has successfully organized OVER 150 STORES in 2022!)

Mr. Smalls also discussed work stoppages, organizing across companies and even across industries, and he kept saying a phrase familiar to most of us: Power to the People!

Hello, comrades! Today, the FWAM staff sit down with former Dollar General store manager and organizer Mary Gundel. She was fired for posting on TikTok about poor working conditions with the #PutInATicket tag for tomorrow (2 May, 2022) walkout from noon-6:00 tomorrow. She's also started a class action lawsuit and is currently fighting to unionize Dollar General.

So, in essence, this is a TikTok organized wildcat strike, and the bosses are shaking. They've cancelled all inventories for tomorrow, as well as putting out a conference call to managers about NOT retaliating against workers who participate in the walkout. This is an impressive showing of class solidarity!

The participants are calling for living wages, of course...but this goes deeper than the money issues. Managers have been calling attention to the acceptable labor hours being slashed drastically, across already short-staffed stores. On top of that, there's stores with mold that gets ignored, many locations don't have adequate air conditioning or heating in extreme temperatures, especially in the storage areas.

Any who wish to support the strikers may do so: the organizers only ask that people who aren't employed by Dollar General to stay on public property, to avoid trespassing charges.
