Sam and Emma host Jane McAlevey, Senior Policy Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley’s Labor Center, to discuss her recent book Rules to Win By: Power and Participation in Union Negotiations.
McAlevey dives into the challenges of the unionization process, with union-busting remaining prevalent well after a successful vote and throughout the bargaining processes, the importance of having community support and solidarity to bolster the long and draining battle, and the networks community organizing can create. She also looks to the case studies that she explores in her books, tackling the importance of building on worker knowledge and transparency in the bargaining process, and before they wrap up the interview by walking through the recent renaissance of labor consciousness in the US, the importance of youth labor activists, the future of labor action, and why capitalists want more of the gig economy.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder - https://majorityreportradio.com/
Sen. Ed Markey asks Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw if he'll commit to compensating homeowners in East Palestine for their diminished property values. Without specifying, Shaw says multiple times: "I'm committing to do what's right." Markey responds: "That is the right thing to do...Norfolk Southern owes these people."
Later, Republican Ohio SenatorJD Vance testifies at a Senate Committee Hearing regarding the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine. Vance says that "Politicians were slow to respond to this crisis, in part because a certain segment of our leadership feels like the people in East Palestine are a little out of style...a little too rural, maybe a little too white."

Sam Seder issues a correction on statements made regarding Dennis Prager’s marriages and divorces. The Majority Report crew discuss Sam calling into Prager’s because of MR listener Ronald. The Majority Report crew also talks about how Prager refuses to debate Sam because he has already debated atheists and because Sam is only using him for views.

The amount of divorces that Dennis Prager has gone through, he has been married three times and divorced only twice. I obviously said that he had been divorced three times because being divorced three times is so much more representative of the way i feel about Dennis Prager than if I was to say he's been divorced two times. However, the fact is he's only been divorced two times he's married three times I just want to say that right off the bat, that's big of you thank you it is a correction that I issue I've been living with this hanging over my head, and it is i have to say a relief to get it off my chest. I'm not sure I was 100 confident or conscious that I had said three as opposed to two I also want to say that, contrary to D-man's claim.
Republican Representative Elise Stephanie joins Fox News with Mark Levin to complain about the January 6th Hearings and claim that the committee has failed to turn over records to House Republicans. The Majority Report crew discuss how there are members of the GOP in the committee and how Republicans initially refused to engage with the January 6th Hearings. The MR crew also talks about why they agree with Democrats focusing on airing the hearings as it sends the message is that Donald Trump and Republican Party are an existential threat to democracy and why it important to have open and fair elections.

Hey I mean maybe I'm a softie but I feel bad for Hunter Biden he has a lot of problems and the fact that his like private videos and stuff is being broadcast to the public is: I don't care how privileged you grew up he has a lot of issues he has to work through and it's just completely unfair and unconscionable what the Right-wing media is doing to him in terms of an invasion of privacy. there's no newsworthiness to the fact frankly that he was doing crack or that he was with some sort of sex worker. Please enough of this but that's a preview of what they're going to do when they likely retake the house in the fall I have a lot of optimism about the negative partisanship that the Democrats have weaponized for maybe like the first time in their lives with this January 6 stuff, I don't think it's enough to overcome the house being lost hopefully it's enough to retain the senate, but-
