    Duke’s Up! w/ Joyce Howell

    On the heels of the lawsuit, I sat down with someone who spent over three decades fighting for the rights of the EPA workers – Joyce Howell. She served as the AFGE 238 vice president and was the architect of the union’s collective bargaining agreement that is now under attack.  We discuss what happens next, what the scientific integrity provision actually protects, how she maintains her commitment to fighting back and why this movement is so much larger than the just AFGE 238.  Mentioned in this episode  Justin Chen in our last episode  On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder  Swing Left  To find out more, visit afge238.org.

    Why Is AFGE 238 Suing the EPA? w/ Justin Chen

    Why is a nearly retired desk worker in North Carolina relocating to do emergency response in Texas? Why did the "Stand Up for Science" letter ruffle so many feathers? What does it mean when your Weingarten rights no longer exist? On the inaugural episode of The 238 Update, AFGE 238 President Justin Chen answers these questions and more. We explore what happened when the EPA union's collective bargaining agreement was revoked, what that means for workers today, and how you can get involved. To find out more, visit afge238.org.
