Another jam packed week of labor news! We start this week with follow-ups on workers at Samsung, REI, and Apple. We also follow up on the impact of Florida politicians' attempts to destroy the state's public unions, and how that has been devastating for academic workers. Reporters from the LA Times have documented how public pensions won through union struggle are now being used to fuel the crisis of gentrification and soaring rents across the country. In our main story, we cover a series of stories relating workers' struggles to win protections against deadly heat, exacerbated by worsening climate change. We discuss the effects on farmworkers, incarcerated workers, and the lengths workers in the hottest countries have to go through just to survive the soaring temps. Finally, we discuss the recent vote by thousands of hotel workers coast to coast to overwhelmingly authorize a strike.
