Episode Details

Heard Tell for Wednesday, February 17th, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need about the school board recall election in San Francisco, how there are two very different narratives going about why the three ousted members had upset voters, but that the overlap of those narrative on one particular point has a teachable moment for election to come. Also, we take a story out of Brazil to discuss that despite how so many of us complain about the internet and social media, worldwide there is a tech boom going on that is reaching even the poorest areas and giving hope to a new generation of dreamers. Guest Gabriella Hoffman of Young Voices joins us to talk labor issues, regulation, unions, politics, and political appointments, and more. Recent actions involving the NLRB, Labor Department nominee David Weil, and legislative fights over unionizing, the gig economy, and categorizing workers are all in the news and are ongoing battles in a very long war over government involvement with big labor, worker rights, and an ever-evolving work force and economy. Plus Gabriella talks about her work and podcast highlighting conservation. We update two stories Heard Tell has been covering, in Brian Flores vs the NFL and also the Russia/Ukraine situation that continues to threaten Europe and the rest of the world with the potential for war. Finally, we talk about some folks that would go to any height for charity work...well, 26 stories up, at least. All that and more on this Monday edition of Heard Tell.
