WorkWeek looks at the issue of climate change and labor with ATU Vice President Bruce Hamilton. Hamilton has called for a general strike to transform the economy and deal with the growing emergency climate crisis.

Next, WorkWeek discusses the attack on San Francisco freelance journalist Bryan Carmody in flagrant violation of the California shield law that protects journalists from the seizure of their records and photographs.

We interview San Francisco Chronicle legal reporter Bob Egelko about the arrest of Carmody and also the connection between Carmody and Julian Assange.
