OKC Starbucks Strike Fund: https://x.com/okcsbxunited/status/1870138429184348290?s=46
One of the last weeks of the year has turned out to be one of the biggest weeks for labor too! Workers across the country at hotels, grocery co-ops, ski shops, and mushroom farms are fighting back this week as we discuss in our headlines. Next, our first main story covers the way gig work models are degrading healthcare and turning nursing into a nightmare. Workers at a critical lab that tests for bird flu in California are sounding the alarm on critically low staffing and unsustainable working conditions. The Teamsters launched the largest strike in Amazon's history this week, with pickets around the country and major walkouts at over half a dozen facilities. Starbucks workers also initiated a nationwide strike, hoping to force the company to finally agree to a fair contract. Finally, we close out discussing the longest strike by workers in Las Vegas' Culinary Union in nearly 25 years.
