WorkWeek receives live coverage of an attempted coup in Brazil with Brazilian transport worker Fabio Basco, who is also a member of the independent trade union federation Conlutas.

Next WorkWeek commemorates the 33rd anniversary of a brutal attack by 150 thugs on workers at a Ford assembly plant in Mexico City, injuring many and killing one worker. Later it became known that it was funded by the CIA, the National Endowment for Democracy and was organized by the leadership of the AFL-CIO.

We interview former UAW Local 909 President Frank Hammer about the January 8, 1990 attack, the ongoing cover-up, and the importance to UAW auto workers and US workers today. The US government, through NED, is providing $75 million to the Solidarity Center to operate in more than 60 countries.

Last WorkWeek interviews TWU International President John Samuelson about the collapse of SWA and the lack of regulation and oversight of the air and rail industry. He also discusses the impact of covid on his members, who have been fined by management for wearing masks.
TWU, which represents 150,000 workers, also represents South West Airlines workers.
