Vegas Hotel Union Says Boycott Trump; Baja Farmworkers Fight Back
Dec. 16, 2016, 4:49 p.m.
Unions to Trump:
Pay your hotel workers fair wages and recognize our union!
with
Bethany Khan, Director of Communications, Culinary Workers Union Local 226
As far as Nevadas unions are concerned, hotel mogul-turned-Republican president elect Donald Trump should put his money where his mouth is, and pay his hotels workers in Las Vegas fair and living wages and recognize their union too. The 500-plus workers, who seek to join Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 226, are battling Trump management over union recognition, wages and working conditions. They say that hotel management is not only breaking labor law " including by verbal threats and physical assaults, but that theyre sure not following Trumps campaign slogan Make America Great Again! So the hotel workers Geoconda Arguello-Kline, secretary-treasurer for the 55,000 member union local, Nevadas largest, said Trump should start right here in Las Vegas with workers at his hotel. Many of them are immigrants who work hard to provide for their families. They deserve equal treatment and should be respected for their contributions to this city, she added, I came from Mexico many years ago and became an American
citizen to have a better opportunity for me and my family. Maria Jaramillo, a
housekeeper at the Trump Las Vegas, told the union This country is a nation of immigrants, and we all work hard and deserve to be treated fairly.

Driscolls Harvest of Shame: the stories of the Farmworkers in San Quintin (Mexico) and Skagit County (Washington State) and Why They Say Boycott Driscoll Foods
with
. Al Rojas, a Founding Member of the United Farm Workers; current Pres. , Sacramento Labor Council for Latin American Advancement
(AFL-CIO)
. Eduardo Rosario, President, NYC Chapter, Labor Council for Latin
American Advancement
70,000 farmworkers in the Valley of San Quintin, Baja California (Mexico) have been waging intermittent strikes, organizing road blockades and mass
mobilizations since March 2015 to demand an increase in their daily wage from $7.50 per day, an eight-hour workday, health care, overtime pay and vacation days, an end to the widespread sexual abuse, and, the legal recognition of their independent union" as the bargaining agent for these
70,000 workers. These farmworkers pick strawberries, tomatoes, and other fruit primarily for export to the United States under the label of Driscolls, through its Mexican subsidiary, BerryMex.
The workers describe conditions in San Quintin as rat-infested camps, some without functioning toilets, where they routinely having their wages illegally withheld, and face debt after being gouged by the overpricing of necessities sold at company stores, and with pay so low that it amounts to less than one-tenth of what U.S. based farmworkers earn. And, how has the Baja California government responded to the farmworkers, they sent in police to quash the farmworkers protest, severely wounding 70 workers, many with rubber bullets shot at close range, leaving some of the workers in critical condition. There is blood on Driscolls fruit and vegetables and the question is how we can support the farmworkers, who through their blood, sweat and tears put food on our tables.

Constitutional Crisis Part One: Interference in the U.S. General Elections
Dec. 16, 2016, 1:39 p.m.
Uncertainty has emerged around the outcome of the U.S. Presidential elections. The Green Party Presidential candidate raised millions of dollars in a failed bid to recount ballots in three states narrowly won by Donald Trump. The Russians have been blamed for hacking into the U.S. Electoral system in a way that favoured Republican Trump. In the lead up to the official count at the Electoral college there are calls to delay the vote until the College voters have been briefed.
This week's Global Research News Hour attempts to assess the evidence of election rigging, what involvement, if any that Russia may havce had, and what all this uncertainty may mean for the stability of the incoming administration.
Our first guest, Bob Fitrakis, is a political science professor at Columbus State Community College, editor of the Columbus Free Press, and the Green Partyâs candidate for County Prosecutor in Franklin County. HE exposed election rigging in the 2004 US election in Ohio. HE speaks about the recount effort and what it revealed.
Debbie Lusignan, aka, Sane Progressive, has been blogging and speaking online about electrion rigging since the beginning of the Democratic primaries. She speaks to the Global Research News Hour about the myths and realities of election rigging and Russian involvement, media coverage and the obstacles to addressing political questions of this magnitude in a logical way.
Finally, Michel Chossudovsky looks ahead to the Electoral College vote and places the uncertainty around the eection result in a broader context of an elite power struggle.

TheAngryindian continues to deconstruct the madness of modern politics by looking at the unspoken contradictions of identity politics as practised in the United States and Occupied Canada by both ethnic minorities as well as the traditional White Supremacists who have consciously co-opted elements of the âBlack Powerâ Movement to give their own White Power ideas shape and form. TheAngryindian points out that in the past, subcultural groups such as the original British Skinheads and other White Folk who liked and identified with African/Black music and culture, eventually assimilated these concepts (and claimed full-credit for them) while pushing anti-Black racialism at the very same time. Simultaneously, non-Europeans around the world still strive to as âBe Whiteâ as possible (see: âskin-bleaching in Jamaicaâ) to the point of near-insanity or even beyond that. Extras: Archived Hard Knock Radio w/ host Davey D. (@mrdaveyd) interviewing with Bro. Dhoruba bin-Wahad and Sis. D. Martinez discussing the historical and political links between the Black Liberation Movement in the US and Africa and the struggle of Indigenous Palestinians against the repression, genocide and Apartheid practises of the Zionist government representing the colonialist State of Israel.

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.
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, Kate MacLeod, 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. 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

Fidel championed education and culture for everyone
Dec. 14, 2016, 5:41 p.m.
From the first days of the Cuban revolution Fidel Castro lived up to his promise that all Cubans would become literate so they could acquire all the knowledge and culture found in the world. And in the earliest years Fidel sent Cuban educators to Algeria to assist that newly independent country bring literacy to the poor.
These steps set the foundation of a society that could cope with hurricanes and imperialism.
