Gravy Baby

Today we have a banger of an episode as Erich Schmidt, Deputy Director for Legislative and  Political Affairs for the American Federation of Government Employees - local chapter 1260 - representing all TSA union employees in Arizona California and Nevada, joins us to talk about the TSA " shut down." We do a "full body scan," from government policy to midwestern cavity searches, talking about what exactly is going on, how it relates to ICE, and what you can do to support the unpaid employees and strike funds in general. Labor is the future of politics and we are thrilled that Erich joined us. You can learn more about how to support the workers Erich represents at https://www.centralcoastlabor.org.

The gang's all here and we are all in on supporting the government of the greatest country on earth and all the American endeavours in the middle east to bring about a more peaceful planet. LOL. We talk about the quagmire that is our current war effort, DJ introduces u sot some excellent independent journalists, and we discuss generational blame and the blowback of it all. Don't Tweak On Me!

In this special batch of Gravy, Jacob Morrison from a Valley Labor Report (https://tvlr.fm) joins and talks about an attempted hospital monopoly, Union history in Alabama and getting workers to realize the power they carry.

Carmen survives harrowing event with a mid western police officer, DJ meets Rozzy (and love blooms), and Drew offends an entire city. Gravy Baby - a show that rly does have it all.

Drew and DJ discuss the rights big Ls in the culture war and wonder how to capitalize on morale.
