The Cradle, the Ladle, and the Picket Line
This week, we cover a wave of worker struggles and the bigger political forces shaping them:
IAM-Boeing showdown in St. Louis – workers fight back after Boeing calls their contract a “fake deal.”
Houston hotel strike – Hilton workers demand fair pay, humane workloads, and respect.
UAW at Volkswagen – momentum builds in Tennessee as workers weigh strike pledges.
Iowa nurses organize – a grassroots fight for safety, patient care, and against a multimillion-dollar union-busting campaign.
Domesticity and control – how regimes, past and present, push “traditional values” to shift burdens onto women.
Democracy vs. authoritarianism – why fear fuels repression, and how solidarity, strikes, and civil disobedience are keeping hope alive.
From picket lines to policy fights, this episode connects the dots between everyday struggles and the larger battle for dignity and democracy.
