Why Culinary Went on Strike, Pushback on Yucca Mountain, and the EDC Invasion
This past weekend, the Culinary Union went on strike for the first time in over 20 years. But even if it was just a two-day “mini strike,” will this flex get them a new contract from Virgin? Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman are joined by producer Layla Muhammad to discuss this and Culinary’s other power move, de-endorsing political candidates. Then, we find out why our state senators are trying to take Yucca Mountain out of the nuclear waste storage conversation, and lastly, we discuss the do’s and don’ts of avoiding the Electric Daisy Carnival crowd. Plus, our DJ names and sets, coming to a retirement community near you.
