Starbucks Workers and Teachers Show Who Has the Power

This week's episode features Sam Shr and Iris of Starbucks Workers United (  / sbwumassave  ) , who remind us of the reason for the season: living wages, dignity, and justice. With our co-producer, Lucas Lee, they cover the unionization attempt, their reasonable demands, the challenges they've confronted and overcome, and the reason for unions in the first place—because they are the only way to protect workers from the dictatorship of the workplace. Our Naptown Breakdown transitions from workplace to the political dictatorship exercised by the local Democratic Party led by Joe Hogsett and his henchmen. By creating the "Indianapolis Local Education Alliance," constructed to do the opposite of what its name implies, the right-wing is trying to bulldoze their way to privatize our public resources and dismantle all public control over public institutions. But finally, the people are fighting back and challenging the pro-corporate and anti-people narrative that's dominated Indianapolis unchallenged for over a decade. Co-hosts Dani Abdullah and Derek Ford discuss the evolution of public schooling in the United States, showing how it emerged as a direct result of the Radical Reconstruction Era until that revolution was overthrown. After providing a brief history of the militant struggles of working and oppressed people to gain access to education and the reactionary responses to undo that progress (including placing corporate businessmen on school boards in the 1890s), they detail exactly what the ILEA is: an unelected body appointed by Mayor Hogsett that will further erode power from the people via the Indianapolis Public School Board. This history matters as we continue the struggle, the outcome of which will be determined not in the Council Chambers but in the streets. That was on display just before the vote at a press conference spoke at the press conference (https://indyliberationcenter.org/pres...) organized by the Indianapolis Education Association (  / indianapolisea  ) and Central Indiana Democratic Socialists of America (  / centralindsa  ) (with support from the Indianapolis Liberation Center (  / indyliberationcenter  ) ). For our main segment, co-producer Lucas Lee interviews two leading organizers with Starbucks Workers United Mass Ave. They touch on a range of crucial issues that demand our attention as support for unions is, finally, on the rise once again. They also inform our listeners how they can support their winning campaign.
