Trumps Sneaky Tips Theft

Say No to Trumps Sneaky Tip Theft with Saru Jayaraman, President, Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United The Trump Department of Labor, backed by the National Restaurant Association, is moving quickly to push a new rule that will make tips the property of restaurant owners rather than workers. It recently proposed rolling back a rule that protects workers in tipped industries, including restaurant servers and bartenders, from having their tips taken away by their employers. Under the proposal, federal law would allow restaurant owners who pay their wait staff and bartenders as little as $7.25/hour to confiscate and pocket all of the tips left by customers, without having to disclose to patrons what happens to the tips. Tips account for over half of these workers income which even together still adds up to poverty wages. More than $5.8 billion dollars will be transferred from workers to bosses under this proposal. Nearly 80 percent of the tips that would be stolen by the employers would come from female tipped workers. Many women who work for tips already face harassment and discrimination at work, and this rule adds insult to injury

Seized at 3am and unjustly imprisoned: Israel's blatant abuse of Palestinian children, and a bill in Congress to end it

Today we talk about the plight of Palestinian children who, on a daily basis, are abused by the Israeli military and the Israeli military court system. Increasingly, stories of the midnight arrests of children, such as Ahed Tamimi, and the stories of their detentions are being published by the western media. The issue has become so visible and extreme that a bill, HR 4391 Promoting Human Rights By Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children Act has been introduced into the US House of Representatives by Rep. Betty McCollum of MN, and so far there have been 19 Members of Congress sign on as a co-sponsor, but only one from Massachusetts, Rep. Jim McGovern. The bill states: Given that the Israeli Government receives billions of dollars in assistance from the United States, Congress must work to ensure that American taxpayer dollars never support Israel’s military detention or abuse of Palestinian children. The legislation requires that the Secretary of State certify that American funds do not support Israel’s military detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill treatment of Palestinian children. No member of Congress with any concern for children or justice, or just plain human decency, who sees what is going on with these kids, should have any problem signing on as co-sponsor of this legislation…it really should not be a controversial bill, yet only one Massachusetts Congressman, Rep. McGovern has signed on, not Rep. Clark, nor Capuano, Keating, Tsongas, Kennedy, Lynch, Moulton, or Neal, none. Yet all of them present themselves as great civil rights, civil liberties, and human rights advocates, and supporters of children’s rights. What happens to these children who get arrested and detained by the Israeli soldiers? How are they treated, what do they go through? That is what you are about to find out. Our feature presentation is a recording of a conversation with Ivan Karakashian, who works with Defense for Children International Palestine. He met with a group from the Boston area who were visiting Palestine through the GRALTA Foundation. Here is that conversation.

A Look at NDP Foreign Policy

This week on Unusual Sources, Brendan and Doug discuss NDP foreign policy issues with Hamilton Mountain NDP activist Henry Evans-Tenbrinke. For many years, peace and justice activists have been advocating that the NDP take more independent and fair positions on international issues such as Israel/Palestine, Syria, Korea, Arms sale to Saudis, and Venezuela. How can Canada have an independent foreign policy while being a member of NATO? How did the NDP's long-standing policy to withdraw from NATO quietly disappear? Peace and justice activists will be pushing the NDP to adopt better independent policies during the NDP Policy Convention in February. A number of policy resolutions from the Hamilton Mountain and other Riding Associations NDP and others at the February NDP Convention.

TB 180202 Bite My Bit!

The Thunderbolt will now be airing on Rainier Avenue Radio in Seattle! Evidently they will be airing it at different times, so you’ll need to check in with their website to see air times. https://www.rainieravenueradio.world/shows-programming This week’s show starts off by describing the latest iteration of censorship in the era of Facecrack. Then, we remember the good old days with Ronald Reagan, we describe the fed version of the ‘broken window theory’, we expose the Democrats’ latest iteration of a ‘witch hunt’ — and then we expose bit coins for their role in nearly everything else that also sucks. Thunderbolts that you need to feel in order to truly believe! (Listen at your own risk…)

A Tribute to Fred Hampton

To mark the first day of Black History Month, Back in the USSR pays tribute to a a revolutionary, an African-American, a man who fought against racism, stood up against imperialism, and unified people – black people, white people, latino people – against their real enemies, the American ruling class. And they killed him for it. They killed him for it. He gave him life for what he believed in. I’m speaking of Fred Hampton, of the Black Panther Party, an unapologetic communist who was murdered in cold blood by the Chicago Police at the age of 21 while asleep in his own bed, on December 4th 1969, along with Chicago Black Panther leader Mark Clark. And thus these two men joined 26 other Black Panthers who were executed by the police in 1969. Even though this crime took place 49 years ago, we still see how trigger-happy American police are with black lives, and how eager they are to take down political radicals who try to mobilize people against a racist capitalist system. Tonight I want to pay tribute to this man’s life, his work, his legacy.
