    BCB 7/3/18 Special Janus Episode Pt. 2

    On this episode of LaborPress’ Blue Collar Buzz we devote the entire hour to the Supreme Court’s Janus decision. What does the majority court’s opinion really say? What are the immediate ramifications now facing Labor Unions? Might the dreaded decision actually serve as the catalyst for a newly-reinvigorated spirit of collective activism? And will that rekindled spirit move the Democratic Party to finally shed the big money corporatism that has proven so toxic to working men and women? DC1707 Executive Director Kim Medina, Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association President Elias Husamudeen, DC37 Director of Strategic Communications Chris Policano, and NYS Public Employees Conference Chair Peter Meringolo join in a lively, wide-ranging discussion.

    On this episode of LaborPress’ Blue Collar Buzz we’re revisiting the workers at CVS on Flatbush Avenue and their ongoing fight to become the first unionized shop on the East Coast to secure a fairly bargained contract from the giant pharmaceutical chain.
