Madison teachers on school shootings | Holiday strikes at Amazon, Starbucks | U of Wisconsin job changes | Minimum wage to rise | Elves on strike

from Labor Radio · host WORT-FM Labor Radio

In the wake of a shooting at Madison's Abundant Life Christian School, Labor Radio speaks to the Madison public teachers union president and to a former teacher about what it's like working where school shootings have become normalized. Also, workers at Amazon and Starbucks get into the holiday spirit with unfair labor practice strikes across the country, with New York City cops busting Teamster Amazon picket lines. Also the faculty and academic staff union president explains how a software update at the University of Wisconsin system can cover for an attack on administrative labor, an analyst details what will happen in a few weeks when states and municipalities across the US (but not in Wisconsin) institute minimum wage increases, and we rerun a segment on last year's elf labor action at the North Pole.
