Ep 259 - Rail Strikes Work!

We've got a Canada-centric set of headlines as the temporarily halted Canada Post strike may resume, port workers returned from a two year plus long lockout, and Alberta public workers are ready to strike if necessary. Warehouse workers in Manhattan are organizing against awful conditions and facing brazen bribery by their employers, Labor Notes reports this week. We also discuss a recent report on conditions of superxploitation faced by Cambodia workers making shoes for Nike. Starbucks workers struck nationwide against new harsh restrictions on the company's dress code and their continued refusal to agree to a contract. Finally, we actually got an honest to goodness rail strike this weekend, we discuss the causes and the swift wins made by the use of industrial action.
