2329 - UAW's New Strike & Huge Supreme Court Leak w/ Sarah Lazare, Mark Joseph Stern
Manage episode 440609913 series 2394721
It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Sarah Lazare, editor of Workday Magazine and contributing editor at In These Times, to discuss her recent reporting on the UAW fighting to restore a shuttered Stellantis plant in Belvidere, Illinois. Then, they speak with Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer at Slate, to discuss the recent reporting in the New York Times regarding Chief Justice Roberts’ influence on the Jan. 6th cases that were in front of the Supreme Court. First, Sam runs through updates on Israel’s widespread and indiscriminate attacks across Lebanon, the UN’s vote on ending Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank, Fed cuts, polling, the GOP blocking another IVF protection attempt, Mike Johnson’s desperate attempt to stop a Trump-backed push for a government shutdown, Express Scripts vs. the FTC, and growing labor action in the US, before watching Sen. Kennedy set quite the example at a hate crimes hearing. Sarah Lazare then joins, diving right into a history of Stellantis’ plant in Belvidere, Illinois, from its opening in 1965 and through its peak in the late 2010s – when it employed nearly a third of the town’s population – before the Corporation-formerly-known-as-Chrysler decided to idle the plant in 2023, essentially taking away thousands of jobs from the city. Continuing, Lazare then unpacks the plant’s role in UAW negotiations with Stellantis in the wake of their overwhelmingly successful stand-up strike against the Big Three automakers (Stellantis, Ford, GM), with the reopening of the Belvedere plant one of many unprecedented wins for the union and emblematic of their emphasis on bringing workers into the manufacturing decisions that shape their lives. After briefly expanding on the details of the UAW’s major wins from the stand-up strike, as well as some concessions, Sarah walks Sam through the devastating impact the idling of this plant has had on Belvidere, the incredible effort by other locals and the broader UAW to use their labor to demand the return of this plant, and the likelihood of the fight expanding into a broader strike, before wrapping up with a conversation on the ripple effect of labor rights and the importance of solidarity in building a better life for us all. Mark Joseph Stern and Sam then jump right into two major stories coming out of the recent SCOTUS leak, with Stern first outlining the revelations of Chief Justice John Roberts’ complete MAGA-pilling over the last few years, including taking a commanding role on three major Supreme Court cases regarding Donald Trump, spearheading the entirety of the immunity decision and icing out the liberal judges, taking Alito off of the January 6th decision, and pushing for a landmark ruling on Trump’s ballot access case. After expanding on the… “jurisprudence” behind Roberts’ shift, Sam and Mark parse through the mystery of the leak, and what it tells us about the state of the Court.
And in the Fun Half: Sam watches Mitch McConnell preemptively shirk blame for the GOP’s upcoming government shutdown attempt, and Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying’s brains expand beyond safe levels in real-time. He also dives deep into swing state and legislative poll numbers with John from San Antonio, unpacks the (im)moralities of social security with Dan Norton, and admires Henry Winkler’s unabashed dissection of the absurdities of Bill Maher’s Zionism. Dan Norton’s biggest fan also calls in to explore the recent proliferation of anti-Haitian conspiracy and the United States’ relationship to catholicism, plus, your calls and IMs!
