March 13, 2018 March 13, 2018 – UTR CTA Charters Moratorium and Corruption
WorkWeek looks at the recent action by the Richmond City Council to put a moratorium on the construction of new schools and co-locations and the threat of co-locations and charters. We are joined by City of Richmond city council member Eduardo Martinez and retired UTR teacher and anti-privatization activist Carlo Taboada. They discuss the role of the California Charter School Association to bully agencies to get more charters.
Next, WorkWeek investigates the growing threat of a take over by pro-charter and privatization forces of the UTR and other CTA locals in California. Teach For America and other teachers trained by privatizers are now seeking to gain union office to push their agenda of co-locations and more charters. The CTA leadership has also supported new charters as long as they are unionized.
WorkWeek is joined by UTR teacher and anti-charter activist Kristyn Jones.

February 20, 2018 February 20, 2018 – OSHA Whistleblowers And Hunters Point Shipyard Cover-up
WorkWeek looks at the systemic cover-up of corrupt testing at the San Francisco Hunters Point Shipyard and Treasure Island by Test America and Tetra Tech in collusion with San Francisco politicians.
We hear from Test America quality assurance manager Mike Madry and OSHA lawyer and investigator Darrell Whitman who report on their retaliation by both the company and the management of OSHA.
WorkWeek also interviews Dr. Ray Tomkins who developed tests for the community of toxins and Mary Radcliff the publisher of San Francisco Bayview newspaper which has been the most important newspaper in the country on this systemic cover-up and serious health issues in the community.
Dr. Tomkins also discusses how proper testing was thwarted by San Francisco City and State officials. This also included former SF DA Kamala Harris who is now a US Senator from California, former Mayor Gavin Newsom who is running for governor, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and Congresswomen Barbara Lee.
