Love the Bruenig's theme song! Was interested to hear there is a right wing push in Finland. Didn't imagine that.
2018-12-28 21:57:38 +0000 UTCThe anti-USSR-invasion strike by longshore workers that Matt mentioned at around 41:06 resulted in a unanimous 1982 US Supreme Court decision throwing out "secondary strikes": <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/456/212/." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/456/212/.</a> But according to In These Times, April 2018: "On May 1, 2008, 10,000 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), one of the strongest and most militant unions in the United States, walked in those Chicagoans' footsteps. They did so by walking off the docks at all 29 West Coast ports, completely shutting down America's Pacific trading network. These workers did so, they said, 'to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East.' Their action revealed the power of organized labor as well as ongoing frustration with U.S. wars that continue to this very day."
