WorkWeek discusses the role of labor and the trade unions in protesting the Chicago police murder of Laquan McDonald and cover-up by the police and the Democratic mayor Rahm Emmanuel. We talk to CTA ATU 241 Executive Board member and bus driver Erek Slater about not only the police murders but also the attacks on transit workers and teachers and their upcoming contract fight.
Next WorkWeek hears from UFWA founder Al Rojas about the formation of a new national agricultural workers union at a conference in Tijuana, Mexico. The new union called the National Democratic Independent Union of Agricultural Workers brought agricultural workers from through the country together and had democratic election of a new leadership. Rojas also discusses the role of the Driscolls corporation and Joseph Reiter the owner and the use of the US immigration to enforce slave labor conditions in Mexico.
