https://soundcloud.com/workweek-radio/ww12-26-17-epa-richmond-charters-and-rail-workers-on-trial
WorkWeek radio examines the growing crisis at the EPA and the need to have labor united to defend our air, water and environment. We interview Kathy Setian who is a delegate on the SF Labor Council from IFPTE Local 20.
Next we look at the action of the Richmond City Council to pass a zoning moratorium on all new schools. We interview Arto Rinteela who is president of Fairmede Hilltop Neighborhood Council President and a member of UBC Millwrights Local 102
Lastly we discuss the railroad workers campaign to free framed up rail workers as result of the Lac-Mégantic wreck that killed 47 people. We interview Railroad Workers United RWU and Workers Solidarity Action Network WSAN member Mark Burrows who is a retired SMART 1433 Canadian Pacific railroader and is helping to organize the defense campaign. We also interview Fritz Elder who is a veteran Locomotive engineer, and chair of the Lac-Mégantic rail workers defense committee and a special rep for Railroad Workers United RWU.
Three workers have been criminally charged from this event and unionists are organizing an international defense campaign.
