Non-Profits, Privatization & Union Busting and The Judgement: AI Robojudge
WorkWeek 8-24-23
soundcloud.com/workweek-radio/ww-8-24-23-part1
WorkWeek looks at the role of non-profits, privatization and labor. A panel was held to look at how non-profits
are being used by capitalist politicians in San Francisco to outsource and privatize public jobs in
San Francisco. This speakers discuss how this is part of a union busting agenda.
Next, we program Playwright Howard Pflanzer look at what would happen to a judge that was really an
AI judge. We program The Judgement: AI Robojudge.
Robojudge programmed by Artificial Intelligence is forced to testify, and then judge himself guilty or not,
when the government finds classified material in his memory which he is unaware of. Manipulation of
AI memory material is the key to this situation. Can the law be interpreted through the filter of AI and
judgements be rendered by an algorithm? The play dramatizes this legal conundrum in a personal trial.

and growing opposition by labor and anti-war activists. We hear from Shirey Winten who is with the Independent
and Peaceful Australian Network. She spoke to about the way President Biden and a bipartisan Congressional

Australia, talks aabout how the US is forcing its junior partner Australia into an expensive military alliance that
could lead to war in Asia.
Next WorkWeek examinees the largest and longest strike in the history of the University of California in 2022
50,000 UAW graduate students and researchers went out all UC campuses. A statewide rank and file caucus
had a panel on what the lessons of the strike were.
For most UC graduate students and researchers this was the first strike and also probably the first strike that
these workers had been involved in. We hear about the lessons at a panel.

youtu.be/TL0dv4Jhdl8
WorkWeek looks at the decades long criminal cover-up of the development of the Hunters Point-Treasure Island superfund radioactive dump site in San Francisco. We interview Dr. Ahimsa Sumchai about her continuing investigation of the health dangers and officials who have sought to cover-up the illegal contamination and retaliation against whistleblowers at Air America and Tetra Tech.
San Francisco politicians including Nancy Pelosi, Willie Brown, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris and London Breed have been involved in stopping investigations and oversight of this $1 billion eco-fraud.
She also discusses the role of the University of California San Francisco at their animal laboratory on Hunters Point where AFSCME 3299 and CWA UPTE workers are being contaminated and the efforts to shutdown The Hunters Point Community Biomonitoring Program. The program also discusses the grant of $500,000 to the San Francisco Labor Council by the developer Lennar and the failure of the EPA and Navy at a San Francisco Labor Council to report on any testing of the workers and residents before development took place.

Pittsburgh NewsGuild Cover-up, Transparency & Blaming The Whistleblower with Reporter Mike Elk
www.youtube.com/watch?v=B27anw0yIZM
A major cover-up is taking place in the CWA NewsGuild according to Payday Report Senior Reporter Mike Elk. He reported sexual misconduct by the Pittsburgh NewsGuild president Michael Fuoco in December of 2019 to the Newspaper Guild president Jon Schleuss and there was no investigation of these serious charges.
The local was also preparing to go on strike with a president that could have been exposed for these issues by management and union busters if he was the leader of a strike. Elk also reported that he also contacted many other union officers including Sara Steffins who is Secretary Treasurer of the national CWA yet no investigation was conducted until 9 months after the charges were made. Additionally Elk reports that he has been targeted because of his efforts to challenge the sexual misconduct by filing charges.
Mike Elk in this interview also calls for the resignation of NewsGuild president Jon Schleuss for refusing to conduct an investigation of the sexual misconduct of Michael Fuoco when it was reported.
This interview was done on 12/12/20 by WorkWeek host Steve Zeltzer. Zeltzer and Elk are both members of the NewsGuild.
