A week of major strike action as well as victories.

Samsung workers could shut down one of the largest and richest corporations of the world as the bosses refuse to share even a portion of the massive profits they are making. Workers and Indigenous groups in Bolivia have risen up against attacks on their living conditions. Finally, we discuss the first strike on the Long Island Railroad in over 30 years.
