Minding The Map In Georgia

Om avsnittet

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees voted to ratify new film and TV contracts after months of negotiations. The results were announced yesterday, and it establishes three year contracts for the union’s over 60,000 impacted members. Yesterday, Georgia’s Republican-led state House approved the bill that would redraw state assembly maps, and the state Senate voted it through last Friday, too. After Governor Brian Kemp signs off on this, the new districts will be legalized. The new maps don't add any majority-minority districts to the Senate, and they also impede on the power of some of the current legislators of color. And in headlines: Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy announced he won’t seek re-election next year, Howard University students ended their protest against horrific housing conditions, and Austria may have passed Europe’s most restrictive mandate for the unvaccinated.Show Notes:IATSE Statement explaining the vote – https://bit.ly/3nlXaaFJacobin: “The IATSE Contract Vote Is a Worst-Case Scenario” – https://bit.ly/3DkXnR1NY Times: “Republicans Gain Heavy House Edge in 2022 as Gerrymandered Maps Emerge” – https://nyti.ms/3ce0vSvFor a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
