TODAY: Alex is joined by Jake and Adam from the excellent Labor Valley Report to talk about an important working class issue—the bizarre right wing comments they get on their YouTube videos.
PLUS: A smackdown I got from one of their viewers after my appearance on their show, and a different argument with a fellow Teamster over Trump’s NLRB history.
ALSO: We cover 2 huge NLRB rulings from the last week: Amazon drivers in California were determined to be Amazon employees (as opposed to independent contractors) by a regional office of the National Labor Relations Board, and the national board certified the Amazon Labor Union in Staten Island.
We talk about the loopholes companies use to further erode wages and labor power, and the necessity of making coalitions with people from different backgrounds. Solidarity is the way.
