The Climate Crisis Is Killing The Kitchen

Karel Cast 24-167

Catsup is almost $10 a bottle in some places; mayonnaise the same. Part of this is because of the climate crisis, but it's also corporate greed. So, why not make the simple stuff yourself. Today, we make home made Catsup and Mayo (Vegan) and talk about the the climate conference over the weekend.

Leslie is joined by Kevin Mapp, the USW’s International Vice President of Human Affairs.  Kevin coordinates bargaining in the union’s health care, containers, public sector and ship building sectors.

The pair discuss the power of international solidarity in the case of Bridgestone.

Multinational corporations operate globally, oftentimes attempting to pit workers in different countries against each other in a race to the bottom on wages and working conditions.

Unionized workers, however, understand that the only answer to large-scale corporate greed is global solidarity.

    - The USW works with global labor federations like IndustriALL and UNI so that they can share information about operations in different countries.

    - The USW maintains formal strategic alliances with at least six other unions in Australia, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.

Nowhere has this been more urgent than in Liberia, where workers on Bridgestone’s massive rubber plantation have been struggling for decades to improve their working conditions.

Japanese-owned Bridgestone is one of the world’s largest tire and rubber manufacturers. It employs more than 125,000 workers worldwide, including approximately 4,000 members of the USW.

In Harbel, Liberia, Bridgestone operates the world’s largest contiguous rubber plantation, covering some 185 square miles. It’s owned by Bridgestone subsidiary, Firestone Liberia, and approximately 7,000 workers reside there with their families.

    - These workers both live and work on the plantation, buying food from the company store and sending their children to schools run by the company.

    - The work is difficult, slashing bush, tapping trees, draining latex into metal buckets that weigh 65 pounds each when full, and carrying them long distances to weigh stations.

    - This latex then goes straight into the North American supply chain, serving as the starting point for American-made tires.

In 1990, Terry Renninger, then president of Bridgestone’s Liberia operations, said, “The best way to think of it is as an old Southern plantation.”

Indeed, in the years leading up to the formation of their union, the Firestone Agricultural Workers Union of Liberia (FAWUL), workers endured what a 2005 human rights lawsuit called “forced labor, the modern equivalent of slavery.”

In 2007, workers successfully organized, and since then they’ve been making incremental progress in improving working conditions on the plantation, though serious problems remain regarding wages, health care, housing, workplace safety, and more.

On top of this, in 2019, Bridgestone fired more than 2,000 workers, forcing them instead to work for contractors, doing the same work but earning significantly lower wages without benefits or other protections provided by FAWUL’s contract.

According to the U.S.-based Solidarity Center:

    - One of the big benefits they lost was the education promised to their children, who now must walk long distances through difficult terrain to attend classes in open-air classrooms without desks or other supplies.

    - Workers struggle to afford protective glasses, boots, or gloves.

    - Living conditions are cramped, and payment for food comes out of workers’ paychecks, which can sometimes leave them with zero or negative balances on their pay slips.

Since then, these workers have pushed back, with the support of unions like the USW, as well as the Solidarity Center and others.

    - On Aug. 31, 2024, contractors voted overwhelmingly to unionize and are attempting to rejoin FAWUL.

    - FAWUL is currently in negotiations with Bridgestone, and one of the key issues is the fate of contractors.

The USW has been proud to provide strategic and bargaining support, but the true strength comes from workers themselves who have shown they’re willing to take action.

The outcome of these negotiations is still not certain, but it’s clear that workers – across the world – are strongest when they’re united.

📌 Please Believe These People The Threats are Real 2025 | Really Karel | @BBC @abscbnentertainment

A text exchange with a gay friend in Georgia today proves why we really need to consider leaving the USA: These people don’t believe the people they voted for are going to do the things they have said they were going to do. Why don’t they believe them? Why do they think they are harmless, even good, people. They have shown time and time again they are not, so how are they under this spell?

ICC issues arrest warrant for Netanyahu, and it means nothing.

💼 Will They Step Up or Stand Down? 🔍 Examining Leadership, 2025

Karel Cast 24-166

👉 Trump’s cabinet picks would be laughable if they weren’t dangerous. Dr. Oz in charge of Medicare and Medicaid? A wrestling executive in charge of education? A felon as attorney general? So, the question remains, will Congress do their job and stop these appointments or will they bow to the furor?

A TV show made me cry last night because it was the last episode. What TV show made you cry when it ended?

Day two of the passion discussion from yesterday…what to do to kickstart it if it just isn’t there.

🌍 Will The World Bow Down 2025? 🙇‍♂️ | USA News | Really Karel

Media personalities in the USA like Joe Scarborough are bowing down to Trump. Will others? Will the world? Either he is the new Hitler or he isn’t, which is it? And, are people already having buyers remorse before he’s even in office?

Has modern day life taken away your passion for…life? How can you find it again and live a more purpose-filled, passionate life?

What’s the next movie up in Screener season? Well, this one’s about a giant robot that has a heart of gold.

It is truly all over but the shouting. Donald Trump has convinced a plurality of voters to send him back to the White House. In acceptance of the new reality, Joe and Mika went to Mar-a-Lago, not as they said, to go to war, but to go to work. Work on understanding the new administration and maybe the bifurcated soul of a nation. Here’s a brief commentary on how 45 became 47. It’s important to understand, so let’s get started.

This time on Code WACK!

What could a Trump White House mean for your health care and your family’s? What might it mean for public health at a time when the nation is still reeling from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic? And which populations stand to lose the most?

To find out, we spoke to Ada Briceño, chair of Orange County Democrats and co-chair of Unite Here Local 11, which represents tens of thousands of workers in hotels, restaurants, airports, and sports arenas in Southern California and Arizona. Ada is also a former National Steering Committee Member for the Labor Campaign for Single-Payer. This is the first episode in a two-part series.

💥 The Destruction of American Media Begins 🇺🇸🎙️ ||| Really Karel 🇺🇸💥

Karel Cast 24-163

👉 Brendan Carr, who wrote the chapter on the FCC in Project 2025, has been appointed to head that agency. His first goals are to end “diversity, equity and inclusion efforts of the agency,” and being to punish agencies that prohibit fake news and Trumpropaganda . And goodbye section 230…he wants to be able to sue Meta and others if he doesn’t like the information. All in the name of freedom. This is how you kill America’s media, or what’s left of it.

It’s screener season, so what movies should you be on the lookout for and which ones should you miss. Well, I’ll tell you.

👉Threads? X? Blue sky? Or is it time to say bye bye bye bye to social media in its current forms?

Face It, You Can’t Afford to Eat

Karel Cast 24-163

A new report is out about how much a family spends to eat in each state in the USA. It ranges from $211 per week, or $844 a month to over $300 a week, or $1200 a month. In CA it’s $297 a week and Nevada $295. What do you do when food costs as much as rent per month? Cut back, that’s what. So, what are you buying these days, and NOT buying. And is there any relief in sight for this?

I’ve spent the last few days in depression, fear, anticipation...looking at various spots in the world I could flee to because of what’s happening in Washington. Is there a very real danger, or do I just need to get more involved in life and ignore what’s going on? The USA is going to swing hard right, but it’s done it before...

Gladiator II is going to dominate the box office. Is this really the time for a film about blood lettings for an emperor and the blood lust of the people?

Are These The Last Holidays?

Karel Cast 24-162

Thanksgiving is in 15 days, but what, exactly, are you thankful for this year? Families will be broken apart by politics. Money is so tight gifts may be sparse this season. Holiday feasts are almost too unaffordable to even plan. And yet, given what next year holds, are these the last holidays for America? Will it even be recognizable next year?

Plus, People says John Krasinski is the sexiest man alive. Somehow, I just don’t. But what makes a man sexy? Or a woman? Is it really all looks?

And, it’s screener season. And I’ve seen the cutest stop action movie that will make you ball your eyes out. And its stars are snails.
