Amazon Workers in India Endure Severe Heatwave

After a quick follow-up with the IBEW workers of Local 46, still on strike, we jump into this week's labor stories. First we discuss the Supreme Court's latest ruling gutting the NLRA, making it harder to force companies to rehire illegally fired workers. Next we start some international stories, discussing a massive strike by workers in Nigeria demanding a major increase to the minimum wage. In India, workers have been forced to work without breaks, even for water, while the country endures a 50C (122F) heatwave. We check in on a few stories of the many labor crimes of Mr. Reddit himself, as Elon is now both being sued by multiple workers for sexual harassment AND trying to claw back severance payments to fired workers. We have an extremely dystopian use of AI in the workplace this week at call centers. And finally we celebrate the massive new union formed by workers at Fairfax County Public Schools.
