Striking United Auto Workers picket at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant
in Wayne, Michigan, shortly after midnight Friday, September 15, 2023.

UAW Strikes at Select Plants
:
Inspired by the GM strikes of the 1930s, the UAW's "Stand Up Strike" is
designed to keep the strike sustainable for the long term and to keep
the Big Three automakers in the dark. Lee Harris and Jarod Facundo
report on day one of the historic UAW strike.

The Nordic Way of Freedom
: In
Finland, society is arranged according to a more meaningful type of
freedom than what we have in the United States, making sure people have
the resources necessary to make meaningful choices for their lives. Ryan
Cooper has the story.

Half a Million California Workers Get a Raise-and a Seat at the Table
:
Read Harold Meyerson on how half a million fast food workers in
California won a fair minimum wage and a step towards sectoral
bargaining, defeating the companies that were going to put hundreds of
millions into preventing these wins.

The Poverty Yo-Yo
: During the
pandemic, Congress passed some of the most effective anti-poverty
measures in decades. Then they abandoned all of it. Read David Dayen on
how returning to the status quo has set Americans back.

The Stealth Attack on the Power to Tax
:
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Moore v. U.S., the Treasury could
be forced to reliniquish an estimated $7 trillion in taxation over the
next decade. Robert Kuttner explains how this could prevent the
possibility of ever passing a wealth tax.
