On this week’s episode:

“Distractions”: First Brexit and now Ukraine.
Next, he turns to the latest worker uprising, this time in Washington state, as workers at Boeing strike demanding better wages and benefits and state government employees who are legally prohibited from striking are demanding better conditions, as well by demanding better pay and conditions.
Then, he comments on the United Healthcare Corporation’s latest profit-driven “pre-payment information” scheme, which disenfranchises people in need.
Finally, in an interview with Eric Blanc, a founder of the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) Professor Wolff discusses its phenomenal success in helping workers across the economy learn about organizing and access labor unions for help with forming unions.
