Another news packed week starts with some follow up on the Teamsters negotiations with Costco, the UAW's fight to hold Stellantis to the contract, and more workers fighting for heat protections. Our first major story is last week's one day rail lockout in Canada, and we discuss the decision by the state to intervene and abandon workers' rights. Next we dig into several stories of teachers at campuses across the US fighting back against draconian policies restricting political speech by students protesting against genocide. California's state government this week made a sweetheart deal with Google, letting them off the hook for destroying innumerable small newsrooms in its quest to monopolize the web. Finally, over 17,000 workers at AT&T across the Southeast have been on strike for two weeks after the company wouldn't even send anyone empowered to negotiate to that table.
