This morning will hear from the AFM Local 6 San Francisco Symphony striking musicians who have been out on the streets since mid March. The Symphony is a world class orchestra and the musicians will discuss  the issues they face  in their struggle to  protect their conditions and the excellence of the Symphony.
Next we will hear about the struggle to protect healthcare for journalists  at the Hearst owned San Francisco Chronicle who have been without a contract for many months. CWA Media Workers face demands for more concessions and give-backs on their healthcare. They are also using social media to get their story out.
Next we will hear about the effort to protect California  workers who face psychological stress and injury on the job and the effort to protect their rights to healthcare and compensation in the California workers compensation program.
We will also look at the growing effort to reform immigration law and allow immigrant workers to get legal rights. We will look at President Obama’s plan and whether what affect that could have on immigrant workers and all workers in a period of mass unemployment. Immigrant workers will be rallying in Sacramento and the unions are launching a campaign for fair immigration reforms.
WorkWeek will also have our WorkWeek labor calendar.

Today WorkWeek will look at the fight for health and safety for the workers and community in Richmond at the  Chevron refinery. The explosion and continued contamination have raised  questions about why the Chevron managers seem to be impervious to any oversight and  regulation to this continuing health hazard. We will talk with health and safety experts and health and safety union experts.

We will also examine the efforts of supporters of single payer healthcare in California to get closer to universal healthcare and why no bill has been introduced in this year’s session of the California  legislature for single payer despite many unions supporting this initiative.

We’ll also look at the lockout of ILWU Northwest grain workers by Mitui owned United Grain and the use of replacement workers in the Port of Vancouver, Washington.

Finally we will have our labor calendar of union and worker events.
