Palestinians Unionize in West Bank Settlements
Aug. 2, 2019, 5:31 p.m.
The Workers' Advice Center (WAC), A New Unionism Developing in Israel After a Decade of Organizing Palestinian Workers in the West Bank Settlements
with
Assaf Adiv is National Coordinator of the independent union WAC-Maan. He has been active in the movement against the oppression of Palestinians and the struggle for workers rights since the 1970s. During this time he worked as a journalist in the ArabicHebrew newspaper Tarik Al-Shararaa, spending 18 months in jail on political charges along with 3 other editors of the paper. He is a leading member of the left Marxist-oriented Daam " Workers Party and writes on social and political issues in the local Hebrew and Arabic press and in the e-magazines Etgar (Hebrew) Al-Sabar (Arabic) Challenge (English).
The Workers Advice Center WAC was established in the mid-1990s. It was set up outside the framework of Israels largest trade union federation, the Histadrut,.and was openly opposed to neo-liberalism. WAC has sought to combine social struggle with the struggle for peace and against the occupation, together with the fight against discrimination on a national basis. While capitalism in the 90s was promising growth for all, WAC defended workers who were being pushed to the margins. WAC confronted insular Jewish and Arab nationalistic and religious trends, which developed after the second intifada (in 2000), arguing for a new model of partnership on a class basis between Jewish and Arab workers.
Initially, WAC was a workers advice center. The transition to a representative workers organization came with the struggle against unemployment among Arab Israeli workers in construction and agriculture. Since 2002, the organization has been involved in campaigning against the importation of migrant labor under semi-slavery conditions. At the same time, the union has established itself as an organization able to assist employers in recruiting workers in construction and agriculture in the Arab sector, on condition that their employment is within the framework of an industry-wide collective agreement.
WAC has established itself as a responsible and determined workers organization, ready to fight relentlessly for Palestinian workers rights. WAC is becoming a significant player in the industrial relations arena in Israel. It gives a voice to young people, women and men, both Arabs and Jews, people who have lost their dignity as well as their rights in a state that worships capital and neglects labor. WAC works to give a voice to the forces currently not represented. It is convinced that there are opportunities for the working class and Arab workers to rise out of passivity and despair. WACs call for bringing down the rightwing government is not just due to the governments anti-social agenda, but also its extremely militant approach towards the Palestinians. The deep lack of faith in the economic and political establishment which is being expressed through social protest enables WAC to promote the unionization of workers and encourage workers to defend themselves and act independently on the political level too.

Haitian People Fight to Rid Themselves of a US Backed Narco-Regime
Aug. 1, 2019, 5:52 p.m.
Conditions have worsened in Haiti as the coup-installed oligarchs of Haiti have resorted to heavy repression, to fatten the rich at the expense of the poor. PetroCaribe was envisioned by Hugo Chavez as a way to assist Haitian development. But with Aristide forcefully sidelined from leading his people, criminals disguised as politicians have siphoned the profits of cheaper oil for their own benefit.
All this happens because the US controls the politics. But there is profound unrest in the country, and Lavalas remains the voice of the people.

Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines.

Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.

Mike Markus + Donnel Baird: From Wastewater to Retrofitting
July 30, 2019, 5 p.m.
What would you say to the idea of drinking a tall, cool glass of wastewater? On the face of it, it sounds, well, yucky. But it turns out youâve probably been drinking it all along. Thereâs good technology now for extracting impurities and making even the dirtiest water potable. And some water districts around the country are taking this technology to scale. This week on Sea Change Radio, we dig into the archives and hear from Mike Markus, the General Manager of the Orange County, California Water District. Orange Countyâs practices may represent the high water-mark for the re-use of H2O. Then, we speak with Donnel Baird, the founder and CEO of BlocPower, a startup that uses technology to retrofit buildings in financially underserved communities. Baird explains BlocPowerâs business model, tells us what inspired him to start the company, and talks about the challenges that the current political environment brings.

Swearingen, Wesley - Illegal FBI Break-Ins, Told By a Former Agent
July 30, 2019, 3:33 p.m.
FBI Secrets: An Agentâs Expose
Agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation have a history of illegal break-ins to homes and offices and conducting wiretaps without a search warrant. In the years when J. Edgar Hoover was the Director of the F.B.I., these warrantless break-ins came to be known as âblack-bag jobsâ. This archive edition of Radio Curious is a December 1995 interview with Wesley Swearingen a former F.B.I. agent, who in 1995 wrote âFBI Secrets: An Agentâs Expose.â His book describes some of the âblack-bagâ warrantless searches in which he was involved and his opinion of those activities. He ends his book by saying that the Hoover era will continue to haunt the F.B.I. because Hoover knowingly undermined the United States Constitution. When I spoke with Wesley Swearingen, I asked him what he meant by that.
Wesley Swearingen recommends âOfficial and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover,â by Anthony Summers.
