We've got a very Kentucky-centric episode this week, with two different labor disputes at the KCVG airport with union busting at Amazon and a strike by Teamsters at DHL. Also in Kentucky, Sunergos coffee workers in Louisville finally won a first contract after a weeklong strike. In academic organizing news, adjunct faculty at Columbia College in Chicago are on the longest adjunct strike in US history to fight back against attempts to slash courses and increase class sizes. Teachers have also launched strikes in the California State system demanding fair wages to deal with soaring cost of living. Fellows at the NIH won their union election in a landslide, forming the largest new union of federal workers in over a decade. Also updates on Tesla's war with Scandinavia, the UAW's massive organizing campaign, and more workers speaking out against genocide.
