in Washington, October 1, 2013, during a previous federal government
shutdown.
There's an Easy Way to End Government Shutdowns Forever
:
The government is about to shut down once again. This shouldn't be
normal, and it isn't in any other rich democracy. Ryan Cooper explains
how we got here and what can be done to fix the system.
Rural Letter Carriers Push for Union Decertification
:
After a new payment system for postal workers went into effect in May,
11,000 rural letter carriers have signed a petition to decertify their
union, citing reduced pay. Jarod Facundo reports on the workers'
limited options moving forward.

Writers Won
: After
five months on the picket line, the Writers Guild of America has a new
tentative agreement. As David Dayen explains, screenwriters won
virtually all of their demands, but with one big caveat.
The [REDACTED] Case Against Amazon
:
This week, the FTC filed a 172-page compendium alleging that Amazon is
an illegal monopoly. It was mostly redacted. Read Maureen Tkacik on what
all of this means.
Biden on the Picket Line, Trump in the Wings
:
Donald Trump's rally in Michigan this week had nothing to do with
supporting striking auto workers. It has everything to do, Harold
Meyerson argues, with relitigating the right's favorite culture wars.
