Nurses strike, rail workers don’t

The strike that wasn’t, and one that was: from The Rick Smith Show and America’s Workforce Radio, we have two reports on the issues that nearly forced tens of thousands of rail workers out on strike this week. Early Thursday morning, the Biden administration brokered a tentative agreement that, at least for now, has averted a nationwide rail strike.
On Your Rights At Work, we hear from one of the 15,000 nurses in Minnesota who struck for three days this week over patient safety issues.
And RadioLabour is back from its summer break with an interview with Guy Ryder, Director-General of the International Labour Organization. Our final show this week, Educating from the Heart, takes a look at how even art classes are not immune from the ongoing culture wars.
