Venti Union Busting with Emma Vigeland & Jaz Brisack (EP 147)
<p>Starbucks is closing stores over letting its workers unionize?! Oldest trick in the busting book. Buffalo organizer with&nbsp;Starbucks Workers United Jaz Brisack joins to discuss the wave of union efforts across Starbucks stores and the latest corporate tactics to shut them down. And Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report joins to talk about Joe Manchin finally being on board with a piece of legislation! How good is it? Plus, Jon Stewart roasts Senate Republicans for holding out healthcare on veterans. Finally, a fun segment imagining the terrible policy proposals that Andrew Yang’s new centrist party will make. Think the “Move to Higher Ground” initiative. AND A BONUS BISH with Matt Lieb about whether the DCCC’s tactic to highlight crazy MAGA candidates is dangerous or just plain dumb.
