Today we have a banger of an episode as Erich Schmidt,
Deputy Director for Legislative and
Political Affairs for the American Federation of
Government Employees - local chapter 1260 - representing all TSA
union employees in Arizona California and Nevada, joins
us to talk about the TSA " shut down." We do a "full
body scan," from government policy to midwestern cavity
searches, talking about what exactly is going on, how it
relates to ICE, and what you can do to support the unpaid
employees and strike funds in general. Labor is the future of
politics and we are thrilled that Erich joined us. You can learn
more about how to support the workers Erich
represents at https://www.
