In today’s WorkWeek show we will go to Houston Texas and interview environmental activist and injured worker advocate Diane Wilson. Wilson has been on a hunger strike along with other to stop the Volero oil company from bringing tar sands to Texas to process at their refinery.
Next we will look at the struggle of the 30 Northern California Mi Pueblo food store workers who are fighting for justice including  San Jose and Oakland. These immigrant workers face the ICE and the owners as the fight or justice.
This is also the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln and we will look at the relevance of that anniversary for working people today.
We will also have our WorkWeek calendar.

A  look at the 8th strike against the Sutter Medical chain by members of the California  Nurses Association CNA. The strike starts on the morning of the 24th at Peralta Bates hospital and other Sutter facilities in Northern California. The non-profit hospital chain is seeking major cutbacks in healthcare for nurses and attacks on patient care at the same time that executives are making millions.
The dangerous epidemic of bullying in the City and County of San Francisco as well as the San Francisco Unified School District. Why are workplace bullies having free rein in  the workplace and being defended by some city and school managers and politicians?

WorkWeek look at the growing dangers for workers and the public at the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant. Southern California Edison wants to layoff 50% of the workers and restart the broken down plant despite protests of the union, whistleblowers and the community.
