Episode 139: IATSE & UFW STRIKES!

The International Alliance of Stage and Theatrical Stage Employees is voting on "Strike Authorization", the process for formally striking union wide, from October 1st through the 3rd. They are fighting for an end of "Fraturdays", a schedule of being worked 14-18 hours ending the shift on Sunday morning. They are also fighting for an end to 14-18 hour shifts throughout the work week as this has resulted in numerous deaths, car accidents, and workplace accidents/illnesses.

The United Farm Workers are going on strike in opposition to California Governor Gavin Newsom's (D) veto of AB-616. This bill would have given UFW members and other Agricultural Unions the ability to vote in union elections via mail in ballot. Sharp criticism emerged against Newsom, who allowed mail in ballots for his recall election, but not for union elections.
