About this episode

The episode covers various labor-related news, including strikes and union battles, while discussing the impact of AI on labor.

We start with headlines from TF Green International Airport, the National Park Service, Wizards of the Coast, Seattle Art Museum, San Jose State University, Lucid, GM, and Quantic Dream. We've got a big round up of recent news for the Teamsters, their epic battle against Amazon, and the end of the federal monitorship of the union. Healthcare workers in NYC are once again waging a critical struggle for fair pay that could result in a massive strike. Finally, we discuss some of the ways AI is being used to surveil, degrade, and erase the labor of people in the US and around the world.
