Truthout TV host, Ted Asregadoo, talks to David Bacon about his article “In Oakland, Mercado Chain Workers Protest Alleged Sexual Harassment, Firings” — that was featured on Truthout.org. The discussion centers on Laura Robledo who was fired from her job at Mi Pueblo Food Center in San Jose, CA after she filed a complaint against a co-worker for sexually harassing her. Also, Ted and David discuss the attempts by Mi Pueblo to use the E-Verify system to intimidate employees from organizing for better working conditions.
Trump is silencing political dissent. We appeal for your support.
Progressive nonprofits are the latest target caught in Trump’s crosshairs. With the aim of eliminating political opposition, Trump and his sycophants are working to curb government funding, constrain private foundations, and even cut tax-exempt status from organizations he dislikes.
We’re concerned, because Truthout is not immune to such bad-faith attacks.
We can only resist Trump’s attacks by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
