Missed this week’s Your Rights At Work radio show? Catch the podcast here. David Story, a defense industry worker who says it’s time to cut the Pentagon budget (and spend the money on unionized green jobs); then we catch up with James Schiffman, an associate professor in Georgia who was punished when he spoke out (‘We are teaching in COVID factories') about his concerns about his school’s lax covid policies. Plus labor news headlines: M.L.B.’s lockout begins; Union workers ratify contract, end strike at WVa hospital; Citing new Omicron variant, nurses say permanent OSHA Covid-19 standard for health care workers badly needed; Judge orders Google to disclose secret anti-union documents.

Washington-Baltimore News Guild @WBNG32035
Solidarity with our union siblings @bfnewsunion !!! We've been bargaining our contract for almost 2 years, but BuzzFeed won't budge on critical issues like wages — all while preparing to go public and make executives even richer. So TODAY, we're walking out to send a reminder that there's no BuzzFeed News without us. #BFNWalksOut

UNITE HERE Local 25 @DCHotelworkers
As the brutal pandemic wears on, Local 25 members at @colonialwmsburg are fighting for a fair contract. They’re demanding fair wages, a work schedule that respects their lives and their families, and dignity on the job! #OneJobShouldBeEnough
Local 25 members at @colonialwmsburg have gone from extended lay-offs to brutally long work weeks. Now, we’re fighting for fair wages and the right to spend time with our families and loved ones. Workers should have a say in how we live our lives!
