Live-streamed on May 8, 2024<br /><br />David Bacon, journalist and photographer focusing on labor issues, discusses his recent piece in the Nation entitled “Big Ag’s Latest Blow to Workers’ Rights.”<br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/photos4justice?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/photos4justice?lang=en</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/economy/not-so-wonderful-company-ab2183/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.thenation.com/article/economy/not-so-wonderful-company-ab2183/</a><br /><br />David Bacon then joins, diving right into California’s AB-2183, an agricultural labor law bolstering workers’ right to unionize with an effective card check system, contextualizing it within the ongoing labor renaissance in the US alongside a renewed NLRB, and the important role laws like this (and similar ones as seen in New York) play in restoring the balance in labor relations. Bacon then walks Sam and Emma through the ongoing legal battle against the constitutionality of AB-2183, first exploring the disputed United Farm Workers Union election that pushed the Wonderful Company’s case, before looking into the simultaneous dubious nature of the case and unfortunate likelihood that an eventual Supreme Court decision could still result in the overturning of the law (or worse). Wrapping up, David tackles the immense resources behind the Wonderful Company’s campaign, and California’s major role in shaping national labor relations. <br /><br /><br />Watch the Majority Report live Monday–Friday at 12 p.m. EST on YouTube OR listen via daily podcast at <a href="http://www.Majority.FM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.Majority.FM</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative</a><br /><a href="https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm</a><br /><br />#SamSeder #EmmaVigeland #MajorityReport #politics #news #progressive #leftist #democrats #liberal<br /><br />SUPPORT the show by becoming a member: <a href="http://www.jointhemajorityreport.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.jointhemajorityreport.com/</a> <br /><br />Download TMR's FREE app: <a href="http://www.majorityapp.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.majorityapp.com</a> <br /><br />TMR MERCH: <a href="http://www.shop.majorityreportradio.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.shop.majorityreportradio.com</a> <br /><br />CHECK OUT MORE from the MR crew:<br />Matt Binder DOOMED <a href="https://www.youtube.com/MattBinder" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/MattBinder</a><br />Brandon Sutton DISCOURSE <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ExpandTheDiscourse" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/ExpandTheDiscourse</a><br />Emma Vigeland ESVN <a href="https://www.youtube.com/ESVNShow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/ESVNShow</a><br />Matt Lech LEFT RECKONING <a href="https://www.youtube.com/LeftReckoning" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/LeftReckoning</a><br /><br />OTHER LINKS: <br />Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/themajorityreport" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.twitch.tv/themajorityreport</a> <br />Facebook: <a href="http://facebook.com/MajorityReport" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://facebook.com/MajorityReport</a> <br />Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/MajorityFM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/MajorityFM</a> <br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/majorityreport.fm/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/majorityreport.fm/</a><br /><br />Image Credit, Gage Skidmore<br /><a href="https://www.rawpixel.com/image/3306161/free-photo-image-farmer-agriculture-worker" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.rawpixel.com/image/3306161/free-photo-image-farmer-agriculture-worker</a><br /><a href="https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/</a><br />Image has been cropped and color has been altered.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXEAPZZQd14" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXEAPZZQd14</a>
