Ep78: Workers Crush It So Jet Blue Goes Union; Murder in Honduras and Guatemala; The Fed; Tax Truths
Episode 78: You may remember that last month I did a curtain-raiser on the Jet Blue flight attendants’ union organizing campaign (Episode 74). Yesterday, the vote came in—and the workers crushed it, winning by a 2-1 margin. You get to hear first-hand from three front-line flight attendant activists how it all came down. I also talk with a global union organizing expert about the trail of murder and violence in Honduras and Guatemala that befalls union activists. I go a bit deeper in a chat with an expert researcher on why the Federal Reserve needs to act to repair the damage to regular people that still lingers from the financial crisis. I also give some key tax truths to remember—truths you won’t hear talked about much.
