In episode #414 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Stephanie Fung and Rajani Tadaka. Fung is the communications organizer for UNITE HERE Local 40, which represents workers in the hospitality industry in British Columbia. Tadaka is a hotel worker and member of Local 40. In the wake of mass layoffs due to the pandemic, many hotels in BC have chosen to fire many of their laid off workers rather than recall them as needed, as a cost-saving measure. Fung and Tadaka talk about the BC's Unequal Women campaign, which is demanding the mostly-women who have been fired be allowed to return to their jobs.
