Restaurant Workers Discrimination Is As American As Apple Pie

Restaurant Labor Leader Responds to Paula Deen Controversy: For Restaurant Workers Discrimination Is As American As Apple Pie with Saru Jayaraman, Co-Founder and Co-Director, Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, Director of the Food Labor Research Center at U.C. Berkeley, author Behind the Kitchen Door Lisa Jackson who sued Paula Deen, said that her "lawsuit has never been about the "N-word," its purpose was "to address Deen's patterns of disrespect and degradation of people that she deems to be inferior." The former manager at Deen's restaurant Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House, sued Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers saying that the work environment was rife with discrimination, and she could no longer tolerate Deen's abuse of power as an owner, nor Mr. Hier's despicable behavior routinely. Unfortunately, the revelations about Deen's treatment of workers of color is neither new or unique in the restaurant industry. More than a third of all workers of color, when surveyed reported experiencing discriminatory treatment on the basis of race, including verbal abuse, being passed over a promotion, racial epithets, and more. This treatment has real impact for the lives of workers and their families - because they have been discriminated against, workers of color are segregated into the industry's lowest-paying positions and segments (e.g. fast food rather than fine dining). Saru Jayaraman takes us Behind The Kitchen Door to expose the extensive discrimination and hardships of restaurant workers.

BioTech Follies

A collage about biotechnology sprinkled with satire so as to not be so unsavory for the psyche, pun intended. A most serious of subjects right up there with nuclear energy, chemical pollution and fossil fuel use and as with the others its roots lie with profit making at the expense of all else or so it would seem. Of course there could be other more nefarious reasons for such blatant disregard for all of life. Better to stop it entirely rather than just label. Can you believe everything you read?

Out of the Woods - Show #174 8-2-13

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

The Global War on Tribal Islam

Akbar Ahmed comments on the recent debate over the use of drones by the Obama administration. U.S. Government firepower and its vast anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and worshipers in their mosques. Battered by military attacks or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, "Every day is like 9/11 for us." Akbar Ahmed, professor of Islamic Studies in the School of International Service at American University. Ahmed is also a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution and a visiting professor at the United States Naval Academy.
