I spoke with Dartmouth history prof Annelise Orleck about getting manhandled by cops, barred from campus and singing 'Solidarity Forever' in the paddy wagon.

'This is a moment where we need to go back to thinking that protest is a part of campus life.'

A Dartmouth spox tells me they’re taking “every reasonable step” to ensure Annelise Orleck can continue to teach.

“We are also clarifying the conditions imposed by the bail commissioner, noting that Dartmouth had no intention of seeking Prof. Orleck’s exclusion from campus.”

In addition to a strike authorization vote, UAW Local 4811 says it's filing unfair labor practice charges against UCLA over protest crackdown.

'The UCLA Administration has condoned the brutal attack of students and workers as they peacefully protested for justice for Palestine.'

The woman in this video is history professor Annelise Orleck who wrote the book 'We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now: The Global Uprising Against Poverty Wages.'

She has since tweeted that she's been banned from campus.

Jeff Sharlet Dartmouth 🌲 Those cops were brutal to me. I promise I did absolutely nothing wrong. I was standing with a line of women faculty in the their 60s to 80s trying to protect our students. I have now been banned from the campus where I have taught for 34 years.

This is crazy. Trader Joe’s workers at a Chicago store have voted 70 in favor and 70 against unionizing with Trader Joe's United. There is a SINGLE challenged ballot which will determine whether the store goes union. The NLRB needs to determine that employee’s eligibility.

Facing a slew of sexual assault lawsuits, Uber is spending millions on a Nevada ballot initiative that would cap attorneys' contingency fees in all civil cases at 20%.

.UAW President Shawn Fain: 'This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong.'

The judge that tossed Trader Joe's trademark infringement claim against its union has ordered TJ's to pay $112K to cover the union's legal fees.

Judge said TJ's tried to weaponize the legal system and that its trademark claims 'cannot be taken seriously' huffpost.com/entry/trader-j…

Amazon has been fighting a subpoena to produce documents related to in-house expenditures on union-busting at the JFK8 warehouse (e.g., travel expenses for corporate officers to hold captive meetings).

The Ivy League has filed an amicus brief in the Dartmouth basketball NLRB case arguing that college athlete unionization 'jeopardizes [our] founding principles.'

'The student’s focus on academics would be lost.'

Two big things happened today that are extremely popular:
--FTC moved to ban non-competes
--Labor Dept moved to expand overtime protections to millions more workers
Both reforms happened because of Biden and in spite of Republicans. And both could die before GOP-appointed judges.
