Episode 135: SEIU Confirms Signed Union Cards In 50 NYC Locations

It’s finally happening. The SEIU has begun their long-threatened campaign to organize McDonald’s workers, starting with outlets in New York City as well as some Chipotle restaurants. We’ll discuss what’s next and what the ramifications could be. And speaking of New York City, at the behest of the restaurant industry, Grubhub has found itself in the sights of the mayor and city council. Is this a one-off or the beginning of the industry’s entry into new economy issues. We’ll kick that around. And Elizabeth Warren and Julian Castro have released their labor agendas and they are so far to the left that Bernie Sanders is having to play catch up. Let that soak in for a minute. We’ll try to make sense of that. We’ll talk about those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
