The President of the United States or the world's richest man or somebody orders the US Postal Service to become part of the Commerce Department or even more of a private company or something, and they say that the collective bargaining agreement with workers of the Transportation Security Administration doesn't count any more because they say they can, and they keep firing people because they say they can and cutting federal programs because they say they can, while rank-and-file federal workers are organizing with their unions to fight back. Meanwhile, the fight for the right to organize at the workplace is highlighted in the struggle or the largely immigrant workforce at a Madison screen printing shop, labor voices speak to us at a rally for Palestinians at the University of Wisconsin-Madison following the capture and detainment by ICE of Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, US Senator Bernie Sanders is touring the US including Wisconsin to speak against the ruling capitalist oligarchy, and University of Wisconsin faculty and staff demand to meet and confer with university administrators and chancellors over workplace conditions and issues like the protection of freedom of speech.
