Chicago teachers are demanding housing for 15,000 homeless students in their next union contract. After Bring Chicago Home, the fight isn't over. My latest. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

The Chicago Teachers Union Wants to End Student Homelessness at the Bargaining Tablewww.thenation.com In its next contract, the CTU is demanding housing for up to 15,000 unhoused students.

Marcie Pedraza is an auto worker at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant, a rank-and-file union activist, and a fierce advocate for Gaza. She talked to me about why she's mobilizing on the plant floor for ceasefire and solidarity with Palestinian trade unionists. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

The Auto Workers Who Stand With Gazawww.thenation.com More than half of organized labor in the US is part of a union that has called for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza. One worker explains why.

I traveled to Belvidere, IL to find out what it's been like since the UAW strike saved their shuttered plant. It's unusual--if not unprecedented--for a strike to reopen an idled plant, and workers are pleased, but won't rest until they see the concrete being poured. inthesetimes.com/article/uaw-...

I spoke to members of the National Education Association who want their union, the biggest in the US, to rescind its endorsement of Biden until he supports a ceasefire in Gaza and stops sending arms. "School-aged children are being killed by the thousands." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Here's a round up of the Workday Magazine staff's favorite labor stories of 2023. It's been a year of bitter injustice, courageous organizing, and some real wins. Thanks to my brilliant colleagues, Isabela Escalona and Amie Stager, for their thoughtful reporting. workdaymagazine.org/the-world-de...

Increasingly unions across the US are standing up and saying enough is enough and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. Leading the way are Chicago and Minneapolis teachers who are calling it an object lesson in basic humanity. My latest. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Israel’s Violence Will Never Bring “Safety” to Anyone, Including Jews by @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @sarahlazare.bsky.social

Israel’s Violence Will Never Bring “Safety” to Anyone, Including Jewstruthout.org As the horrific siege against Gaza escalates, we need to confront the violence of Israel's ethnonationalist militarism.

A small but growing # of unions and labor leaders are speaking out against the bombardment and siege of Gaza. UE has a formal position of opposing US military aid, which it stands by today. Jeff Schuhrke and I wrote about labor and internationalism in this moment. inthesetimes.com/article/gaza...

Missing from much mainstream discussion of UAW's demands is recognition of what autoworkers actually do: repetitive labor that grinds down their bodies, often sacrificing their lower backs, rotator cuffs, or just the pleasure of waking without pain. My latest. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

Shuaib Almosawa & I spent months looking into the reality of the blockade tactics used against Yemen, and how they're harming people who need medical care. Biden says there's no blockade, but these stories contradict that narrative https://www.thenation.com/article/world/yemen-blockade-medical-care/

Biden Says There’s No Blockade. Tell That to Yemenis Who Need Medical Care.www.thenation.com There are just three flights leaving Sana’a every week. But Yemen has an estimated 71,000 cancer patients who need out-of-country care.

I talked with kumars.bsky.social about an investigation I co-authored with Jeff Schuhrke into the death of a worker at the MDW2 Amazon cross-dock facility in Joliet, Illinois. It was a very thoughtful discussion, I really appreciated it https://deleteyouraccount.libsyn.com/episode-228-work-related
