We start this week with workers advancing the struggle for solidarity with Palestine in the UE and AFT, along with international stories from Brazil and The Netherlands. Also this week, workers ratified major new contracts at Amtrak and Disneyland, and new unions were formed at Prism Reports and The Frick Museum. In our first major story, the ALU Democratic Reform Caucus swept the recent union elections at JFK8 in Staten Island, we discuss their victory and the path forward for the new leadership. We also discuss a report from Truthout on the crushing conditions faced by small farmers in Mexico, fighting water theft and mass pollution from American mega pork producers like Smithfield. Also this week, the Washington Post released a new report on the rising numbers of workers who are employed full time and still unable to afford a roof over their heads. Finally, we finish off by celebrating workers securing the first ever union contract at an Apple Store in the US.
