The Indypendent News Hour on WBAI-99.5 FM // 15 August '23

In our first segment, we’ll look at a big legal victory on Friday for New York City’s 250,000 retired city employees. The Adams administration wanted to switch their medical coverage from traditional Medicare to a privately run plan. But that’s on ice for now. In our second segment, we have an update from the SAG-AFTRA picket lines. And we hear from The Indy’s film critic and Screen Actors Guild — as a union strike captain who is out on the picket line three mornings a week leading chanting and singing. In the final part of the show, we catch up on some of the other important news of the day and take listener calls.
