Welcome to The Worker Power Hour with Randy Corrigan, a
brand new show about labor and worker issues. The host
of the show is Randy Corgan, Secretary Treasurer and Principal
Office and Leader of Teamsters nineteen thirty two, one of
the largest public sector labor unions on the West Coast,
representing workers in government and non sworn law enforcement personnel.
(04:13):
Randy Corgan is a thirty year Teamster who first became
involved in the labor movement by volunteering his time as
an organizer with the.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Teamsters Union at the age of twenty one.
Speaker 11 (04:22):
Since then, he's helped thousands organize, mobilize, and achieve bargaining rights.
He accomplished this by spending countless hours with brave men
and women all over Southern California in their living rooms
on the picket line to bring workers towards victory. This
is the Worker Power Hour and now here's the host
of the show, Randy Corrigan.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Welcome back everybody, Randy Corgan and their worker Power CACAA
ten fifty AM, one O six point five FM and
the Teamster's local nineteen thirty two broadcast network. Well that's
a high speed introduction there, Marky Pooh, I'll have to say,
seeing that we haven't been on the air in a
few weeks, I guess that was like, hurry up, let's
(05:17):
get going. We got to catch up.
Speaker 12 (05:19):
I thought we'd do a rave real quick, right right, right,
all right.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I'm interested to hear the critics on our actual music
today because that's we've run in the actually run into
some interesting stories around the music anyway.
Speaker 12 (05:33):
Where you can says say that's free music.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah. So, yeah, it's been a bit, it's been a
few weeks. Sorry everybody that you haven't had a live
show from me in a few weeks. I had to
be one place after another after another after another, all
over the West, and it just kept getting in the
way of the live Wednesday show. So my apologies. But
we had prior to that, we had been on a
(05:57):
pretty good run where I had we had done a
ton of them, and I've clearly got I've got about
fifty or sixty in the bank now, So there's plenty
for those of you to listen, to go back to
some old shows. And obviously we're rerunning. We're going back
through from the beginning of us doing all the shows
and just kind of recording them and letting them play.
Speaker 12 (06:15):
There's plenty of Randy Corrigan to go around.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah, there's plenty. There's plenty of us here. So I
don't know if there's plenty of me. Most of the time,
I don't feel that way, but hey, at the end
of the day, I don't want you to forget I'm
a longtime organizer, a first time radio host. This is
my rookie status. I'm extending into my sophomore year. And
you know, we're really enjoying the radio show, getting a
lot of positive feedback on it. And I always have
(06:40):
fun with the live shoutouts. And when I have a
show that is a recorded show that's playing and I'm
somewhere and I actually am close enough to my phone
that somebody says I'm listening in live, I will try
to text them back and say, sorry, today's a rerun,
and they always kind of laugh, But so I all
(07:02):
of you, I do inner I do, I do, I
do enjoy the engagement and appreciate it, and we always
want to, you know, obviously keep that up and recognize that.
So just a quick recap from the May twenty first show.
We were joined by Naka Clark at Cali Caare. She
was phenomenal. I thought it was amazing what her services
(07:24):
that were offered non emergency medical transport in the IE
and the story that she told on how she got
involved in the industry was tremendous as well as what
they're doing to make sure that those in need that
have non emergency medical transport needs that have challenges getting
(07:45):
around that they make sure that they get to you know,
dinners and functions and family events and you know sometimes
it's just you know, running errands too. So what a great,
great business that she's running there. And she just did
a really great job of articulating herself on the show.
Thank you so much for coming on the show. And
(08:05):
also you know taking people to doctor's appointments and all
that stuff. We joked around with her about if we
called at two o'clock in the morning, would they come
get us instead of it being an uber, so we
wouldn't get a duy, and she said she would, but
we probably should be respectful of those that really needed
at that particular time, and she was a really good sport,
really appreciated it. We also were joined by Randy Camick,
(08:28):
the secretary Treasurer of Local sixty three, and Ed Rendon,
the senior vice president of Capital Advocacy and former team.
She was joined council for the two political director, two
individuals that I've obviously worked with for over thirty years,
and it was great to share stories of things that
we had done collectively before in the past, as well
as talk about what we're doing in the future. And
(08:48):
for me, it's always a pleasure to have my mentor,
Randy Camick on the show, which obviously many of you know.
His name is on the side of this building. We
dedicated this building to him and his honor because of
all the tremendous things he has done over the last
at least in helping us create this organization in addition
to serving millions of workers in across this country as
(09:10):
an advocate for labor. We always appreciate brother Caemick coming
on our show and sharing. You know, he's now I
think he's eighty one and eighty yeah, eighty No, he's
not eighty two. No, he's not. I'm just kidding Mark.
Remember we argued within this the other day. But anyway, yes,
he's he's eighty two. And but you know, man, he's
(09:33):
he's on his game. I love to hear you know,
he can still articulate a story, and he remembers all
the fun things. You know, it's funny to see his
his version shift a little bit, you know, purposefully shift
and how he wants to tell the story now. But
he's again, always a pleasure to have on the show,
and our members love hearing from him because they love
(09:55):
hearing the history. They love hearing all the different, you know,
dynamic that he's had to deal with over his fifty
plus career of representing workers. Fifty plus year career of
representing workers. And I took a nice little dig on
him because one of the things I do is I
recognize that he served in the military, that he was
(10:16):
a veteran before he was anything, and he served in
the Air Force. And we took a nice little job
at him and asked him, I asked him, well, did
they actually have airplanes when you were in the Air
Force fix years old. What I love about Randy is man,
he can give it to you, but he can take
it too. There's a lot of people that can. They
(10:36):
can rib and they really will get at you, but man,
they can't take criticism or they can't take the funny.
And he's really really a good sport. He can take
it as hard as he can give it. But I'll
tell you there's not very many people that can give
it as good as he does. We're going to say
anything Marky poses to say.
Speaker 12 (10:53):
He might be up there in the years, but he
has not lost the talent for some crap talk.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, the whole market
poop is that was born from Randy so and it's
it got dropped on Mark here a couple of years ago,
and it hasn't hasn't left and now everybody, I think
more people call you that than they actually call you
by your name now pretty much. So anyway, if you're
listening in Randy, really appreciate the fact that you've been
on and those of you that know brother Camick and
(11:18):
appreciate him always, you know, make sure that you recognize
him and appreciate all the work that he's done, because
most of what other people have taken credit for, Randy's
usually been behind the scenes making sure that's happened for you,
especially if you're in the labor movement. So with that,
I want to move on to the live shoutouts and
also reminds you to download the KSEAA app and the
Apple Store the Google play Store. If you want to

And so with that, we have Kathy Bernal from the

We had her on the show a few months back

(13:31):

George Man from the County Fire, and Frank Panuga from

Aguilar investigative texts for the District Attorney's Office. That is
(13:51):
a mouthful for me. So great to hear you listening live.
You want to be listening in love, you want to
have your name mentioned. Make sure that you let her
staff know or let one of us know that you're
listening in live and we'll try to get you the
shout out and if you can get it to us
by the end of the show, we'll say it again.
We always love the live interaction with our members and
we know that you've been starving for it because we've
(14:13):
been quiet for the last few weeks. And again I
got accused of being on vacation all month, which is
not true. Believe me, I would rather not have to travel.
It's one of my least favorite parts of the job
is not being able to sleep in my own bed
and be home. I don't, but at times the job
(14:36):
requires me to be in different places and that is
what I have to do. And if I can figure
out how to do a live broadcast while I'm flying
on an airplane across the country or driving in my
vehicle to whatever location or sitting in a hotel room remotely,
maybe we'll try to pull it off in the future.
But I don't think I'm on demand to that level yet,
(14:56):
so I'm not concerned with it.
Speaker 12 (14:59):
I'll put you on the eavy.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah, I know, but I think it's that would be
different if I tried to actually do an entire show
through ev.
Speaker 13 (15:05):
MUCKs, don't.
Speaker 12 (15:06):
I don't think the field would work for you.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
No, you get a totally different field going that way.
But you know, maybe we'll try one of these times.
I don't know. With that. This brings to the next
part of our show, which is our Teamster Advantage partner.
Our teamser Advantage program is made up as more than
a thousand small businesses across the Inland Empire. We have
partnered with more than twenty five chambers of commerce within
(15:30):
the IE, and one of the things we like to
do is make sure that we advertise for these small
businesses for free, and we want to encourage people to
shop small shop small business go into these local businesses
and make sure you utilize their services or buy their products.
And we're having a lot of fun with this program
because we believe it's giving back to the community in
(15:52):
a way where we get that the middle class and
middle class families, working class families, they're just trying to
you know, get the kids a soccer practice, raise the family,
pay some bills and and and you know, hopefully work
their way to retirement. No different than our members are
doing the exact same thing. And many times it's our
members that are actually going into these establishments and we
want to encourage those members to make sure that they
(16:14):
use those that are in the network. And today we
have a the Brewsters, real ice cream owner Daniel Decker
from Rancho Cuckamunga and man who can say no to
ice cream? Daniel, you want to introduce yourself and talk
about your your business there in ranchall Coookamunga and you
got a new one coming too to Eastvale, right, that
is correct.
Speaker 14 (16:34):
Yeah, I'm Daniel Decker and my wife is Kelly. She's
not here, but we're the proud owners of Rancho Cucamonga
Brewsters and we're pretty close to eastfil It's it's amazing
to see that come along. But yeah, we we we're
looking for a business to to open as we were
looking to retire from other stuff retail, right, and ice
(17:00):
cream just kept coming up because it's the one thing
that seems to make people happy, like no matter what.
So I worked in a call center, an e commerce
call center, and I got yelled at pretty much most
of the days. So I committed to finding a job
where I saw people laughing and smiling. And so this
(17:22):
worked out for us, and we are just so blessed
by this, the community that we're over there, and all
of the customers that we've had come in. We make
our ice cream fresh every morning, which a lot of
people don't realize, but we actually get our milk from
our dairy and Titusville, Pennsylvania. We get it fresh every
(17:43):
Tuesday and Friday. We make our ice cream fresh every
morning with the best quality ingredients, and I mean it
literally is the best ice cream we had, which is
why we had to open an ice cream shop. The
funny story, the first first time we were looking to
find something to do, we stopped by a store in Arizona,
(18:04):
a Brewsters in Arizona, and we got an apple dumpling
and it was a hot, fresh apple covered in a
dumpling with cinnamon ice cream on top of it in
caramel sauce. And I told my wife, like, this is
what we're gonna do right here, Like this makes me.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
So no one's gonna scream at you after having like.
Speaker 14 (18:25):
This is it right? So yeah, So we left there
and came back and started the process during COVID, which
was a lot of fun. So we'll be celebrating our
fourth year this year and I said, it's just been
a whirldwind. It's been amazing.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
So you get your milk from Pennsylvania, huh. I was
just in Hershey, Pennsylvania here recently, which is not too
far from the location you just referred to. It's actually
a lot of dairy country around there.
Speaker 14 (18:51):
It's amazing and it's so fun to go out there.
Our cows are in the fields eating grass. They're like,
it's so beautiful to see and you're like, man, these
are these are cows. And you talk to the farmers
and they know they're cows, and certain ones have names
and it's just really cool. And then our dairy is
actually owned half by brewsters and half by the employees,
(19:11):
so which is also pretty amazing to just see the
quality throughout. And they still slow batch pasteurize the milk
they poured into big copper kettles and cook it until
the sugars caramelized. I mean, it's just it's old school
stuff and you can taste that quality.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Oh yeah, you can definitely taste the difference in in
quality of ice cream. And I'm I'm not very difficult
when it comes to the flavor of ice cream. Like
I just like a good old fashioned vanilla, like a
good flavored vanilla. But you know, I don't think anything
beats a really good flavored vanilla ice cream.
Speaker 14 (19:46):
I would have to I'd have to agree with you,
But I think vanilla is one of those things that
you you it's perfect with something, so like a root
your float, oh, or like a brownie with vanilla ice
cream on top.
Speaker 13 (19:59):
Of it, or like you can eat it with anything.
Speaker 14 (20:01):
It's just perfect and that that compliments everything. So yeah,
i'd have to agree, although.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
My one, you can put it with anything. You can
put it with a car tire and make it work.
Speaker 14 (20:10):
You could that in a little hot fudge. You're good
to get right, right, But I do love cherry vanilla.
That's my favorite. So the marachino cherries inside of our
vanilla is literally that's.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
The best way to get the cherry vanilla.
Speaker 14 (20:22):
It's it's so good.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
So yeah, the the and then we were talking about
this earlier before we fired up on the air, but
apparently you have you have coconut pineapple right now too, huh?
Speaker 14 (20:33):
We do.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Yeah, We do little chunks of pineapple and fill the
coconut flakes in it while you're while you're oh.
Speaker 14 (20:41):
And it's it's so it's so cool to be a
part of, like the backside of ice cream making. But
when we make our coconut pineapple ice cream, we're literally
putting pineapple inside the machine and we're literally putting coconut
inside the machine with our fresh cream. And it's like, wow,
this is so cool because I don't know if that's
how it's made everywhere, you know, because you can taste
when you have real chunks of pineapple and there.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Right, you can taste the difference between real and what's
been processed.
Speaker 14 (21:06):
So as of I will say, as of this morning,
I believe we are out of coconut pineapple, but we
have coconut pineapple coming back on Friday, so I will
tell you that we ran out of pineapple. So I
just placed an order for pineapple to come in. But
that is on our that is our summer menu right now.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
So Friday morning, Friday, a Friday.
Speaker 14 (21:28):
Morning, we make it fresh. It'll be the first thing
we make.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I'll be in the area over there. Hopefully I can
stop buying and check out your coconut pineapple, make sure
that it's good. Any funny stories that you got, I mean,
like you said, I love how you described the business
of dealing with something that everybody's typically happy when they
come into the ice cream shop. I mean it's not
like you got a divorced couple coming into the ice
cream shop. You got. It's usually where a relationship starting
(21:54):
versus ending.
Speaker 14 (21:55):
Right, Yeah, right, I mean it's fun. We have fun
all the time. We employ young young people. It's a
passion of guy.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Someone that's just commented, I love that place. They give
your dog ice cream too when you bring when you
bring them in.
Speaker 14 (22:10):
That's one hundred percent, right, Yeah, free dog Sunday.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Really yeah.
Speaker 14 (22:13):
And if your kids under the counter, it's free as well. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Wow, Yeah, I have to have all my kids crawl.
Speaker 14 (22:22):
You know how many teenagers walk up on their knees.
It's just crazy.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
But you almost got to give them an extra scoop
for that, right.
Speaker 14 (22:27):
You know what are honestly are our thing and that
we try to teach our young people because, like I
was saying, we hire kids that are between fifteen and
eighteen nineteen years old, and we really try to help
them develop a sense of business and self worth and
just ultimately know how to work within an environment, like
a business environment, and we teach them that the answer
(22:49):
is yes. Now what's the question that's like? So when
someone walks up and says like, well, I'm on my
knees and I'm below the counter, can I get a
free skoop ice cream? The answers yes, Like I'm not
going to arg you with you. It's not what it's
intended for. But you have the ability to laugh and
make people's day and it's just ice cream. It's not
We're not doing rocket science here right like it's and
(23:10):
that helps them to be in power to take care
of our guests. And so you will see people that'll
do some fun things like that.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
But yeah, yeah, any any other funny stories you.
Speaker 14 (23:19):
Got, oh, man, we have gosh, there's a I know
that our kids had a contest to see how many
they could how many scoops they could stack up on
a cone, and they were so impressed by the fact
that each one was filming it and they'd get to
like twelve thirteen skulls on a cone. And so this
is actually not going to be good because they don't
really know that I did this. But I actually took
(23:39):
a metal pole and had it fixed into the bottom
of a cone, and then I just scooped onto the
cone and kept pushing it down and I was up
to twenty three cones and I filmed the twenty three
at the end saying look at what I got, guys,
And then and then they were like so impressed. They're like,
that's our boss, he just twenty three And it literally
was sitting on I feel bad now because the story,
(24:01):
but up until now they thought I was the King
of the ice cream.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
So here we did it on our show on the
Worker Power Are.
Speaker 14 (24:07):
We just but that's encouraging my truth? But yeah, it was.
It was good to you know, set that precedent of
like you always be great, but.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You'll never be better than me, right, that's good.
Speaker 14 (24:20):
It was a lot of fun. We have fun every
day though with them. And we're actually going into into
July which is actually National ice Cream Month, which is fun.
So we're gonna be bringing out a Brookie ice cream
with brownies and cookies, and we're gonna be bringing out
like a Nutter Butter ice cream, and so that also
is like fun, just like always every month coming in
(24:41):
to see like what's the new thing, What's what's that
new thing that they're going to try a new flavor
they're gonna try to, you know, see if it if
it resonates with people. We just did kick and Mango,
which had like to heane, mango and strawberry mixed together.
It was pretty spectacular.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
But so we with our team shirt advantage program, we've
got a lot of and then we've now got somebody
came up with an idea to go to the restaurants
and businesses and try them out. James Martinez, he's actually
going to be on the show later. What did we
call him? What's the phrase that we came up with?
(25:17):
Come on, Robert tell us anyway, we got to remember
the town. Yeah, we got it. We came up with
a phrase f him and obviously we just forgot it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 14 (25:25):
I met.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, obviously it wasn't catch you enough for us today.
Speaker 12 (25:29):
Right.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Anyway, he'll be on later and he's probably gonna give
me a ton of griff for not remembering what we
called this negment on the show. Anyway, I'm anxious to
see him, see if he does the ice cream tour
and comes back knowing him he's listening now and he's
going to talk about this on his part of the
(25:50):
show here in an hour or so, and it'd be
interesting to see what he actually he tastes, because he
actually did the donut challenge and oh you should have
you heard him tell the story, because there was a
bunch of donut stores that we had on, especially donuts too,
and and I was actually I felt my stomach hurt
listen hearing him tell what they did to test all
(26:11):
the donus. I was like, wow, man, He's like, yeah,
we went home and took a nap.
Speaker 14 (26:17):
Well, that's another product you can actually combine with ice cream.
To take a glazed donut slice in half, put a
scoop of vanilla in the middle of that, and see
pretty spectacular meal right there.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
And again always you know, everybody coming into the ice
cream store is always happy to see you.
Speaker 15 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
I mean like we've had people that have come up
for all kinds of things, like you know, breakups, like
their dogs passed away, they've you know, they got a promotion,
they've you know, I don't know, just and that's what's
so beautiful is they're coming to celebrate or to you know,
lose themselves in the ice cream or you know, they
broke up and they just come and buy a pint
to go sit and cry. And it's like whatever it is,
it's something that's comforting and that's like it doesn't ebb
(26:57):
and flow like a lot of things. It's just like
ice cream if it's made well and it's good quality,
and it's just it's just classic and and it just
does things for you.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
So well, we've been joined by Daniel Decker from Brewster's
Real ice Cream in Rancho and I think that location
is on the corner of Haven and Foothill Haven in Foothill.
And then you have another one coming. Where's that going
to be? In east Vale?
Speaker 14 (27:21):
So the east Vale location is currently in construction. It's
at Hamner Place. It's just north of Silver Lakes and
so it's actually just just north of Norco. But we're
going to be located next to Heroes and and Starbucks
and we're actually going to be right on the corner
(27:43):
right there.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
So the Rancho location obviously Foothill and Haven. Is it
the north east corner or the west? Which one?
Speaker 13 (27:53):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Which corner?
Speaker 16 (27:54):
So?
Speaker 14 (27:54):
Which is Okay? Our address is for Foothill, but we're
actually facing Haven, which is interesting. But we're in the
we're between Big five and five guys, so facing Haven.
So we're north of the corner of Foothill and.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Haven north west. No, that'd be northeast.
Speaker 14 (28:13):
We're on the Yeah, it's like on the the east side.
Speaker 13 (28:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (28:16):
So we we look across the street at like the
bowling Alley, right across the street at like I think
there's a there's.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
An old spires there. Yeah, the Del Taco.
Speaker 14 (28:25):
Del Talker right there, and there's a I'll Loco and yeah,
so that's that's where it's where we are. You can't
miss this big red on ing line. But it does
move fast, I promise. We try our best to like.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Get I've learned by lots of things. If there's a
long line, that's not going to deter people.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
Well, if there's not a line, then you have to
ask yourself why. That's why I tell her kids, don't
be worried about the line, just work on the line.
Like it's people don't mind we're waiting in a line
that moves. It's the fact that if you if they
see five people sitting around inside and the line's not moving,
then it's it's upsetting. But if you guys are sweating
and you're you're earning every dollar, then people love it.
(29:05):
And it gives us a chance to be a community.
And like I've met so many people just sitting there
talking in line, and it's so fun to watch the
community just happen and people just start learning from each
other and talking, and then they go out and tailgate
and they meet a new friend and or they see
their neighbor or you know. It's just something that I
think we need more of. We need like opportunity for
(29:26):
community to get together, and I think Brewsters does a
great job of that.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
That's awesome, and that's really one of the premises of
our Team STA Advantage program is encouraging that space, is
us encouraging our membership, encouraging the general public. Hey, don't
forget make sure that you're contributing back to the community,
stay connected in a real way, and pay attention to
slow down for a minute, you know, say, Hi, have
(29:50):
that great conversation. Well, Daniel really appreciate you. Coming on.
Is there anything else you'd like to close on the show? Yeah?
Speaker 14 (29:56):
The only I don't know if you guys mentioned this,
but are typically are we have a ten percent discount
with the teams for advantage, but for the month of
July it's actually twenty percent, So that's actually yeah, well
if you're a team, So I didn't know if you
guys mentioned that or not.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
But yeah, and there's I think a three dollar off
a cake purchase or one dollar off any pie order.
What kind of pies you got? What's up?
Speaker 14 (30:17):
Oh my gosh, okay, so our pies are spectacular?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
So how do we almost skip over this?
Speaker 13 (30:23):
I know?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Right, hold on, this is this is our show. We
can do whatever you want, right, So talk about the pie.
So pie I found our listeners that they're like, we'll
have all this important stuff this like crazy like like
really really important legal stuff or stuff's going on in
the in the news, and oh man, they talk about
the ice cream or the sandwich or the food or
(30:44):
something like that, and I'm like, ohready, So I've learned
to just let the let the food fly here anyway, Pie.
Speaker 14 (30:50):
So Pie, you get to choose either a gram crust
or you get to choose a chocolate cookie crust, and
then we add a gooey layer like hot fudge or
caramel or marshmallow or peanut butter, and then we add
three pounds of ice cream of your choice. We frost
it with vanilla ice cream on top, and then put
(31:13):
some whipped like a like a whipped icing along the top.
It's it's phenomenal. You just kind of like little slices
of heaven. It's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
It's a lead.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
Hey, Ralph, if you're listening, go to Brewisters.
Speaker 13 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
And they're actually not I mean they're they're relatively affordable too,
especially with this.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I saw him run out the back. He's driving there
right now.
Speaker 12 (31:34):
Well, make sure he brings it back.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
He's actually gonna call in live by the end of
the show and say I'm over here right.
Speaker 14 (31:39):
Now now, I on a return trip to a live broadcast.
Speaker 12 (31:42):
I love it.
Speaker 14 (31:43):
Yeah, So yeah, I think that's that's pretty much it.
I mean again, we just appreciate so much the partnership
we have with you guys, and then also the relationship
with the community. And I'm so glad to see people
out there and if you come by, say hi, our
kids are amazing and we love to meet you guys.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Yeah, and make sure you show your team's to advantage card.
Something that we've noticed in the last couple months is
we have a lot of people utilizing the small business
Network that we've helped create and advertise for, and they're
not always saying that they're coming in because they heard
it on the show, or that they see it in
the app or in the notification or the advertisement or whatever.
(32:19):
It was funny we had somebody come on the show
a couple months ago and he said, oh, well, no
one ever really comes in and uses it. I got
on my phone and I started texting people during the
show that I know go in there because of it,
and then they had called, and by the end of
the show he had heard how many people were going
in there based on it. Again, our reason for wanting
(32:41):
to bring it up is just reminding that sense of
community and that hey, we're here for each other. We
just want to make sure there's a sense of comfort
there and also a sense of togetherness, and we appreciate
that relationship, and we appreciate that discount that you provide
for our membership. We really do. Daniel again, one last thing,
anything else you want to cover or before I go
to a break, well, thanks for coming on. We've had
(33:03):
Daniel Decker on from Brewster's Real ice Cream in around
Skookamonga and a new location come into east Vale Hill
pretty soon. Unfortunately his wife Kelly couldn't be here with him.
It sounds like you guys would have been here as
a cool little team, and maybe next time we would.
I think what we could do is we'll make sure
someone goes over tastes all of it, has a nice
(33:26):
little uh you know, we'll have him do a nice
little report on the show, and then maybe you guys
can come back and and we'll have a little fun
with it. So that'd be good.
Speaker 14 (33:36):
I love that. And and maybe even I can just
bring you guys a little sample or something, so just
give me your favorite flavors.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
I know I was already a little surpris wrong with that?
Nothing wrong? Get a little taste test you're easy.
Speaker 14 (33:47):
I vanilla for you.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
So it's the rest of the team all day. Robert,
what's your favorite ice cream? Pistachios and man with realists.
Speaker 12 (33:58):
Maybe real pistachios, yes, pineapple coconut, Yeah, I love that too.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
That's that's a good flavor. Do I like Rocky Road? No, man,
not really. I mean I I'll eat it. I mean,
look at me, of course I'll eat it.
Speaker 14 (34:13):
Rocky Road is one of those controversial ice creams for
me because I do not like marshmallow. That the texture
of marshmallows in ice cream. I don't feel like it's right.
So Brewsters actually makes it with marshmallow ribbon. It's so
good and it may so. Rocky Road at Brewsters is
one of my favorite things. Rocky Road in general is
(34:34):
not because I do not like the squishy marshmallow, but
that is controversial because some people say it's the best
part of a Rocky Road.
Speaker 12 (34:40):
So we'll bring it in and we're going to try
it out.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
I'm going to have the whole staff here lining up
pretty soon, so we'll see.
Speaker 12 (34:47):
How controversial this really is.
Speaker 13 (34:48):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
No, yeah, right, right right, So again, thanks for joining us, Daniel.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
We're back Randy Corgan and the work of power Our
casey AA ten fifty one, six point five FM and
the Teamster's nineteen thirty two broadcast network. You know you
never can go wrong with an ice cream, either a
scoop ice cream or ice cream of some sort. You know,
whether you're gonna go get one, or you're gonna have
(37:28):
them on your show or whatever it may be. The
reality is is, boy, what a great job he did that.
That's phenomenal. It's ice cream. Always make the day.
Speaker 12 (37:37):
Better that pineapple coconut, though.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
I can't wait to taste.
Speaker 12 (37:42):
I wonder if he does Sherberts.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
I'm sure they do. It all sounds amazing. But hey,
so let me get into our member highlight and some
the two labor wins portion. I just put the we're
playing with kind of moving things around on the show.
See what a little better or different or whatever.
Speaker 15 (38:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
I'd love to hear your feedback. I really don't care.
You know, then if you don't care, you don't care.
I mean, I'm good with that too, So I really
don't care. But any I said, if you really don't care,
I didn't say. I hope it didn't come across as
I said I really don't care. It sounded like I
said I don't know, sounding like that. Oh no, no,
that my bad. That's not what I was saying. I
was saying, if you really don't care, then that is
(38:24):
what it is.
Speaker 12 (38:26):
I kind of like the new flow, all right.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
The City of Samardino teamsters are actually you know, at
the City of Sambardino and they provide quality services for
residents within Samardino. Local nineteen thirty two represents the General
ad mid Manager unit for the City of Samardino. This
crew is responsible for maintaining the city's essential infrastructure and services.
This includes street repair, maintenance, graffiti removal, traffic signage, storm
(38:54):
drain upkeep, and support for public events and emergency response.
Their work keeps the city safe, clean and functioning smoothly
for residents and businesses. They are putting your tax dollars
to work every single day. Thank you for the work
that you do in the City of San Martino. Really
appreciate everything that you do each and every day. We
(39:15):
get to see them a lot on streets when you
know they're shutting down, turning on, you know, blocking streets,
you know, signs, a bunch of that stuff. It's really
cool to see those guys. It's a really great group
of workers out there. And don't don't forget to thank
a teamster and when you say hi to them, you know.
Make sure that you recognize the work that they do.
Shakespeare Festival workers ratify their first contract. Box office and
(39:38):
group sales workers at the organ Shakespeare Festival have unanimously
ratified their first contract as members of IATSEI Local one
fifty four. This is the latest victory for the local,
which now represents workers in eighteen different departments at the
ninety year old nonprofit theater, including facilities, costuming, front of house,
(39:59):
and concessions. More So, congratulations to those workers. Also congratulations
to the South Bay Transit workers they approve their new contract.
After a historic work stoppage and nearly a year of negotiations.
Amalgamated Transit Union ATU Local two sixty five members who
work for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority in San Jose, California,
(40:21):
have voted to ratify a new collective bar and agreement
with the transit agency. The union represents more than fifteen
hundred bus drivers, light rail operators, maintenance workers and dispatchers
who keep the region moving. So great job. Some victories
I want to just quickly talk about here at nineteen
thirty two, and then I'm going to get into some news,
and then we're going to have some guests on the
(40:41):
second half of the show, but nineteen thirty two had
a successful VO training. That training was one of my
favorites done on fear. I always love the trainings around fear.
It teaches people how the emotion of fear gets in
the way of decision making, and really how fearful people
(41:03):
can be in a space when workers are organizing, or
workers are trying to mobilize, or workers are trying to
activate or do things that are going to be helpful
not only to their work environment but to their community.
And I think it's really important for us to focus
on training like that, especially in a time like right now,
because there's a lot of people that are fearful based
(41:25):
on some of the things that are currently going on
around us. I'll talk about some of that about when
we get to the news later. In some areas at
a local when it comes to representational issues, we have
management has had to adjust the performance improvement plan in
some areas and discovered a supervisor was not following protocol.
(41:48):
That's been corrected. We also have members have been doing
an awesome job at presenting on their own skellies and
because they've been taught by their bas and their student
words at helping them educate them on their rights and
helping them learn how to present. So we had a
member that was very extremely nervous, but then walked out
(42:09):
feeling very very empowered. Then during an investigation, we had
a BA that was able to intervene and back up
a supervisor that was protecting a member from a false
accusation that an investigator was alleging and put the investigator
in their place. So a supervisor thanked the business agent
(42:29):
for representing the member. Really again, appreciate that work that's
being done on the ground. We also had a member
that was falsely accused of assaulting a coworker with a
water bottle, and the BA stepped in found the allegations
were false and all that was dismissed. Also a number
of suspensions being unwound because of a lack of merit.
We had stopped a manager from harassing a member and
(42:53):
falsely accusing that member of going rogue. That was corrected
and dealt with. Stewart took on a complete ownership of
a union meeting and something that they're going to be
leading to take place next week. It's great to see
that leadership and ownership move forward. Also a five thousand
dollars back pay settlement agreement between US and one of
(43:16):
the employers to resolve on an issue. So a lot
of good stuff to report. Also, when it comes to negotiations,
Redlands will be successfully kicking off their negotiations here. They
have actually successfully kicked off their negotiations here. Chino's close
to having an attentative agreement. Looks like that's coming together
pretty quickly and organizing. We have a new leader discovered
(43:39):
for a surgical group and the new leaders actively gathering
comparisons of other hospitals. Also filed for recognition at Bear
Valley Community Hospital for the CNA Security and Unit coordinator.
And then we also have a recognition was recently sought
just a couple of weeks ago for the CTE Hissparia
(44:01):
a Sperry Unified School District and teachers uh and and
that that was great to see. They all went and spoke.
So just just a couple of the little victories kind
of hanging out around the local union. See that the
staff's out kicking button and doing a great job. We
really appreciate all the work on the ground and and
(44:21):
really appreciate getting the information so that we can do
a good job of reporting on it. Something fun in
the news. I'd been looking forward to reporting, and that
is been I've been following this where Bezos was going
to have his wedding in Venice, and well, I guess
he's not going to have his wedding in Venice. You
got to love when people mobilize. When people mobilized, and
(44:43):
the Venetians basically said, you can't pay taxes. You know,
there's all you bring in your super yachts and you
have all this exorbitant amount of money, and you know,
you think you're going to use our venue. Nope, and
they had to having to change the venue. More power
to the people. This is exactly what I've been getting. Now.
(45:04):
That's what worker power is all about. Worker power is
all about individuals exercising their First Amendment right, exercising their
freedom to assemble, exercising their ability to to point out
something that is obviously. You know, it's like we're in
the society where we hold up these gazillionaires and billionaires
(45:25):
as if they're gods or they're great, and most of
the time, if not almost all the time, they got
there by by exploiting millions of people, and you know,
good for those people that embarrassed them, embarrassed bezos to
basically say, you know what, are you gonna just rub
it in your face or spend I think there's I
(45:46):
think I heard this morning spending fifty six million dollars
on this wedding. Like, give that money to some people
that work with you, that help you, deliver packages, that
help you. Like, come on, man, like this isn't like,
you know, you've got millions of people that are living
in poverty because of the wages you pay while you know,
(46:06):
you're being celebrated as some great person. So good for
those people that shut that down. Really, really, it's awesome
to see. And in related news, the Nationally Relations Board
Region twenty issued a complaint against Amazon over it's the
illegal union busting activity at DCK six facility in San Francisco.
This marks another win for the International brother Teamsters and
(46:28):
it's ongoing battle against the two trillion dollar company Amazon.
Teamsters are securing victories on the ground and in the court,
said Randy Corgan, Oh, who's that guy. Who's that guy
director of the Teamster's Amazon division?
Speaker 12 (46:41):
You heard of him?
Speaker 5 (46:42):
Yeah, yeah, I think so workers will not back down
and will continue to take on this behemoth of a company.
So I guess I was quoted in the paper or
something news media something like that. Anyway, Yeah, yeah, another
good win there. We've actually had a lot of positive
wins here recently. This one just came out this morning too,
the current administration. A judge has ruled that the current
(47:03):
administration cannot eliminate federal workers bargaining rights. A federal judge
on Tuesday, I guess that was yesterday. Last night, the
Trump administration or block the Trump administration from eliminating union
bargaining for thousands of workers across the federal government. Siding
with the AFGE and other unions, the US District Judge
(47:25):
James Donato ruled that the executive order letting several federal
agencies dispense with union bargaining is unlawful. So man, great news. Remember,
we can't just wait for the judges to do this,
because clearly some people are ignoring what the judges say.
(47:45):
And this is this legal game where oh, I get
one judge to say no, and then I go and
get another judge to appeal and overturn it, and then
I go and get another judge and then another judge.
And unfortunately the legal system has been layered to a
degree that sometimes it delays justice. And what will always
(48:07):
bring justice to a head is if workers use their
collective power to exercise their right and withhold their labor
and say I'm going to withhold it until it happens.
And also AB two eighty eight has passed Sacramento. That
just happened right now. Oh yeah, last week, that's that's
what I thought. Yeah, yeah, actually we should have had
(48:29):
that in the victories. Thanks for pointing that out, Robert. Also,
so again, we can't depend on the courts or elected officials.
We need to really depend on ourselves. And more good news,
voters will decide whether to repeal the controversial union law
in Utah in the twenty twenty six general election. Utah
Lieutenant Governor Ddri Henderson's office confirmed at the fate of
(48:53):
the HB two sixty seven will be decided by the voters,
so it's official, and they have confirmed over three hundred
and twenty thousand signatures, which is well over well over
ten percent of the entire population of the state of Utah.
This other issue here in the news I want to
(49:14):
talk about, and I want to shift it because I
know a lot of people listening may get into the
political policy sort of debate. But I'm going to raise
the issue here on what's really really important around labor.
Labor unions around the US demand the release of the
union leader who was arrested in the LA protests, which
was David Porta of the SEIU, and you know, labor
(49:38):
unions around the US rallied together to demand, you know,
the release of him when he was incarcerated. Obviously, he's
been released since this was since this was printed. But
you know, one of the things that we know how
to do in labor is we understand the First Amendment.
We understand our right to protest, We understand our right
(49:59):
to strike, We understand and or right to demonstrate. We
understand our right to demonstrate in the streets. And what
we are witnessing right now is we are witnessing a
overstep of police agencies or federal agencies that are stepping
on the First Amendment. And so what I'm going to
(50:19):
go into right now is not an argument over policy.
You may want to see people deported or not want
to see people deported, and that is one subject, the
one subject we should all agree on, whether we want
to disagree on policy or not, is don't you dare
step on my First Amendment rights, or my freedom to assemble,
or my freedom of speech. And that is what you
(50:40):
see is being encroached on and being pushed to the
side right now, don't, regardless of what side of the
political theater you are on, when it comes to this
policy argument, do not fall into the trap of thinking
it's okay to stomp on someone's First Amendment right or
their freedom to assemble. And now to see the irony
(51:05):
in people arguing about peaceful protests, I think that, you know,
when we look at what was not peaceful on January
sixth and where people died and were beat up, you know,
most of these protests regarding immigration have not. You know,
they're all pretty peaceful, and you know, nobody's died to
(51:28):
my knowledge at all, and nobody's been beat up other
than being beat up by some police officers. And it's
interesting how these tables have turned on the narrative and
the reason why I think this is important to talk about.
And again, I don't want to debate the policy differences.
What I want to debate is if you want to
come on my show and tell me that what is
(51:48):
happening right now is not a violation of the First Amendment,
then come on and sit right next to me, and
let's have this debate in front of everybody, because it
actually is a violation of the First Amendment. It's a
violation of our freedom to assemble and our freedom to
exercise those rights. And I want to take a step further.
I think what we have to do with with protests
(52:10):
or exercising our freedom speech goes also in what I
would call abstinence, in other words, not doing something. And
so instead of just as an idea here, instead of
putting ten thousand or one hundred thousand or five hundred
thousand people in Los Angeles or sam or Nadino or
somewhere and just having this massive, you know, build up
(52:33):
of people, and then the cops have their people, and
then they bring in the National Guard, and then they
bring in the military, and we do this, and then
you know, and then there's this big to do over
what is really your First Amendment, right, and then everybody
gets lost in the politics, and whether they're watching this
channel or that channel, they're they're they're they're only here
in the politics. Versus recognizing that we have to always
(52:55):
protect our First Amendment right, what we could do is
just not go to work. You want to exercise your rights.
Sometimes actually the absence is more powerful than presence. Matter
of fact, a lot of times it is. And so
let's say you want to do something in la and
you instead of actually sending thousands of people, you actually
(53:20):
have everybody not go to work, and you withhold your
labor just like you're seeing right now. A matter of fact,
today I think it was up around Sacramento, there was
a rumor of something happening in a construction site. There
was no worker to be found anywhere on the construction site,
completely empty. Well, guess what, no work's going to get done.
(53:41):
That's going to catch someone's attention. As a matter of fact,
something similar happened in Santa Fe Springs, where a very
famous swap meet. People aren't showing up now, and so
guess what if people don't show up and people don't
buy things, and you're actually not going to work and
there is not a you know, there are no more vendors.
(54:01):
I guess at the Santa Fe Santa Fe Springs swap meat.
Then you know there's nothing to do, and so you win.
You win your protest and you withhold your labor until
things change, and you stay out or you stay home
until that changes. And so my point is instead of
(54:23):
allowing the media that twists this for their own commercial
presence and how whatever they want to do to appease
their audience, instead of allowing them to twist it, what
you do is you have nothing there, nothing goes on,
and you don't. Everybody refuses to go to work, and
(54:43):
then you say we want change, and you do. You
demand change based on an absence, not a presence. That
is very powerful, that is very powerful economically, and is
very powerful message for everybody to have to kind of
like pay attention to. And so hopefully instead of spending
(55:03):
too much time of everybody kicking a political football back
and forth over policy, people can realize in a time
like now, you don't allow our first amendment, our freedom
to assemble, our first amendment, freedom of speech, to be
stomped on because you have some political goal, because you know,
(55:26):
have some you know election you want to win of
some sort. Yeah, it's it's it's it's important that we
pay attention to that stuff. So the next thing in
the news I want to talk about before we take
a break at a mandatory break at the top of
the hour, the Minnesota Minnesota Nurses Association, they vote to
authorize an unfair labor practice strike. And Minnesota Nurses Union
(55:47):
voted Monday to authorize an unfair labor practice strike as
thousands of employees work without a contract, others face and
others face a contract expiration at the end of the month.
So the Minnesota Nurses Association, which represents fifteen thousand nurses
across thirteen hospitals in the Twin Cities and Duluth area,
says the vote gives negotiators the ability to call for
(56:08):
a strike at any time after providing a ten day notice.
Nurses say hospitals have proposed policies that they disagree with,
including capping sick time at forty eight hours a year,
implementing the ability to counsel shifts at any time, cutting
overtime pay, and replacing a long standing affordable healthcare plan
with a high cost plan. Healthcare providers being asked to
(56:33):
pay more for their healthcare. Look, you've all heard me say,
I think all workers should have one hundred percent of
their healthcare paid. But man healthcare workers should have one
hundred percent of their healthcare paid. They're in the healthcare industry.
This makes absolutely no sense when we have stuff like that. Also,
the next thing we have in IBT news is the
Teamsters nurses at Corwell are rallying against the employers attacks.
(56:58):
Members of Teamster's Local twenty twenty for at Corwell East
Health rally today alongside Teamsters General Secretary Treasurer Fred Zuckerman
and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. State and local officials,
as well as union allies, demanded that the employer end
its attacks on unionized workers. It's no secret that management
(57:20):
at Cornell has been disrespecting you and your co workers
for a long time, and now that you've become Teamsters,
they are too eager to continue that disrespect. Zuckerman said, well,
I've got one thing for you, Corwell. Buckle up because
you're in for the fight of your life. So thank you,
Fred for putting up something, you know, a powerful message
to support those workers. We really appreciate that. Also, in
(57:44):
more Teamster news, the Teamsters ratify Southern California Master Bakery agreement. A.
Teamsters have ratified the Southern California Master Bakery Agreement, a
collective barn agreement covering over one thousand members who work
as merchandisers, route sales representatives, and transporters at Bimba Bacrease.
The five year agreement includes wage increases to both base
(58:04):
pay and commission, larger pension benefits, and lower health care costs.
Workers were only forty eight hours away from going on
strike when the employer returned with an improved offer. So
great job sticking together. Really appreciate everybody being on the
same page and making sure that happens. Lots of news
going on. We're wrapping up the top of the hour
(58:27):
for this show that that was. You know, it's been
a month since I've been able to hear, so I'm
a little tired. Just can I take a nap at
this at this little break here?
Speaker 12 (58:35):
Mark you pooth inning a snoozy. I had a month.
Roberts says, you've been on vacation for now.
Speaker 5 (58:42):
I listened to this guy. It's incredible. See what happens
when you can't do your live radio show for a
few weeks. All of a sudden boom, you're in trouble.
So with that, this is Randy Corgan to work a
power hour. We're going to take a brief break. Go
through the mandatory break at the top of the hour.

Welcome to the Worker Power Hour with Randy Corrigan, a
brand new show about labor and worker issues. The host
of the show is Randy Corgan, Secretary Treasurer and Principal
Office and Leader of Teamsters nineteen thirty two, one of
the largest public sector labor unions on the West Coast,
representing workers in government and non sworn law enforcement personnel.
(01:05:48):
Randy Corgan is a thirty year Teamster who first became
involved in the labor movement by volunteering his time as
an organizer with the.
Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
Teamsters Union at the age of twenty one.
Speaker 11 (01:05:58):
Since then, he's held thousands organized, mobilized and achieved margining rights.
He accomplished this by spending countless hours with brave men
and women all over southern California in their living rooms
on the picket line to bring workers towards victory. This
is the Worker Power Hour. And now here's the host
of the show, Randy Corrigan.
Speaker 12 (01:06:29):
All right, this is Randy Corgan. We're back, Randy Corgan,
Work a.
Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Power Hour KCAA ten fifty A and one to six
point five FM and the Teamsters nineteen thirty two Broadcasts Network.
Good to be back. It's been quite the break. I
know you've already listened to me, maybe for an hour.
Maybe you're just tuning in right now, but that was
a good first hour. I had to warm up for you. Nony.
We're gonna get We're gonna introduce our next guest here
(01:06:55):
in a second. But first I want to announce that
there's five free tickets for the sixty six Saturday, the
twenty eighth, right mark.
Speaker 12 (01:07:04):
Yeah, it's twenty eighth, and there's it's free kitten Jersey.
Speaker 5 (01:07:07):
Night, Free kitten Jersey Night.
Speaker 12 (01:07:10):
Yeah, don't look at me, hit hard like a kitty cat. Kitty, kitty,
kitty kitty. Okay, maybe you know you kind of got
that looking here.
Speaker 5 (01:07:20):
Trying to picture a kitten jersey. It is a jersey
for a kitten. A kitty cat on my jersey.
Speaker 12 (01:07:27):
I'm assuming it's a kitten on the jersey. They're doing
these theme jerseys now at sixty six er Stadium. They're
doing some cool stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:07:35):
Yeah, it sounds like it, you know. I just the
other day, a couple days ago, a bunch of people
went to a game and they snapped a shot of
our big advertisement on the on the on the out
on the home run wall, on the outfield wall. And
so it's always fun to get pictures of people that
are engaging. I was like five or six days ago.
I'm not sure. I don't think we had an event, but.
Speaker 12 (01:07:54):
There was about a week ago, Oh was it.
Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
Yeah? So again, if you if you want five free
it's who do they got to get a hold of.
Speaker 12 (01:08:01):
Oh, there's a flyer for Teamster Advantage members on Facebook.
Also the Teamster Advantage app has the ticket link as
well as the Teamster Advantage web page. Or you can
get a flyer from the main lobby and come see
us here at Local nineteen thirty two.
Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
See how easy we make it for you. You can
five free tickets, take the family out, have a good evening,
and get a kitty cat jersey.
Speaker 12 (01:08:24):
Right, kitten jersey you can you can drink.
Speaker 5 (01:08:27):
I'm interested. I hope nobody brings me the kitten jersey,
but I'm just interested to see what it is.
Speaker 12 (01:08:32):
I want to see you drink a beer with a
kitty cat jersey on.
Speaker 5 (01:08:35):
Well, the biggest problem I run into is and then
whenever they give out jerseys, I'm too big of a
person to actually put on what they give They're not
going to be rolling out double X or triple X jerseys.
You know, it's usually a large or an excel. If
I try to put something on like that at the stadium,
I look like, you know what was Tommy boy? When
(01:08:56):
you know you put his jacket on? That was too small?
Speaker 12 (01:08:58):
Oh? Look at the time. We must move on.
Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
So you're saying we can't do that on the show?
Speaker 12 (01:09:04):
What ear jersey looking like exact guy in the van
down by the.
Speaker 5 (01:09:09):
River right exactly. So next part of the show we
are joined by Nony Thompson, who is an LVN at AIRMC.
Is that correct?
Speaker 21 (01:09:20):
It is?
Speaker 5 (01:09:21):
And you have been a teamster for a few years
and instead of hearing me rattle on because maybe you
hear me talk too much, or maybe you never hear
me talk. I'd love to hear you introduce yourself, what
you do, what you like about your job, and you know,
before you say anything, I want to say thank you
for what you do for the community. We really appreciate
(01:09:42):
how you make sure that the community is taking care
of every day. We appreciate your pride and being a
teamster and obviously making sure that your community and your
fellow co workers and everybody understands how important this camaraderie
is and how important this space is. So thanks for
coming on the work of Power Hour and coming on
the show, and you're on live. Remember we can't we
(01:10:02):
can't edit what you say, so be careful what you say.
All yours. No pressure.
Speaker 21 (01:10:09):
Okay, whoa, the pressure is here.
Speaker 16 (01:10:12):
But thank you. Hi, nice to meet you. I'm honored
to be here. My name's Nony Thompson. I've been an
employee with the County of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center come
January eighteen years. I am Annelvian, a licensed vocation nurse
in the er. It's a very busy place. We are
(01:10:36):
a four hundred and fifty six bed hospital. We are
considered one of the largest and most busiest hospital in
the state of California. We also are a teaching hospital.
We are now affiliated with the university across the street.
We are very active with our community, very diverse community at.
Speaker 21 (01:11:03):
That I enjoy what I do. I'm there by choice.
It's a community that.
Speaker 16 (01:11:12):
Is underserved in some areas, yes, and requires much needed
assistance with education and or community and resources. My community
looks a lot like me. It's another reason why I'm there.
It's because the patients will come more if they feel
(01:11:37):
that they're not left out and if you can be
able to relate to them.
Speaker 21 (01:11:41):
And I'm that person.
Speaker 16 (01:11:43):
I come from an area where it's underserved, and born
and raised in the city of Pomona wasn't the best area,
and as I grew up, my parents just chose to
put us in different opportunities and circumstances so that we
don't become part of the community. But at the same time,
(01:12:04):
when you don't have those options, then it comes from
moving forward and now going and giving back. And so
I could have options to go to other places, but
I want to work in a community that it represents
me and for all those other people that look like
me or who don't look like me, who need the care,
(01:12:24):
and oftentimes they don't come for that reason. They think
that they can't relate, or.
Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
They feel no one's going to be there for them, correct, and.
Speaker 16 (01:12:37):
So my I think sometimes oftentimes my face helps change that.
Speaker 5 (01:12:42):
Well, thank you for that. Have you been in the
er the entire eighteen years the entirely most? Yes, Yes,
that's that's that's quite the journey.
Speaker 16 (01:12:51):
It is, it is, and it's a lot better now.
Before when we first started, we didn't have my much
many ratios. It's just one paid one nurse to ten
to fifteen patients, and we have to keep going. We've
now expanded and we have more resources and set up
(01:13:12):
initiatives and plans.
Speaker 21 (01:13:14):
Where it's it's better. It's better. It's still busy, but
it's better.
Speaker 5 (01:13:20):
You got to have some crazy stories, might do I do?
I mean, I've had some crazy stories in the er,
just myself, So I can't imagine being in the er
for eighteen years.
Speaker 16 (01:13:30):
Yes, you do see a lot. It's not I will say,
it's not a place for the soft, right, Okay, you do.
You have to have tough skin to be employed there.
There's a lot that goes on there, and I actually,
to be honest, you develop a sense of normality with
(01:13:55):
what you see, not necessarily if it makes it.
Speaker 21 (01:13:58):
Right, but it's normality.
Speaker 16 (01:14:03):
I remember, probably about ten years ago, probably about fifteen,
I think I probably had been there maybe five six years.
We got a phone call from someone that came out
or the parking lot and ran in and said, there's
someone laying out in the parking lot by the gutter.
And the staff responded out there, and it just so
(01:14:25):
happened to be someone dropped a man.
Speaker 21 (01:14:28):
Off who was stabbed in the neck.
Speaker 16 (01:14:30):
Oh boy, and my co worker Ana Ramas, who oh,
could I can say her name?
Speaker 22 (01:14:36):
It's late now, too late now, said sorry, Anna, But
she responded out there, and you're okay.
Speaker 5 (01:14:47):
To say the person to helped you do something, you
just can't say who you are.
Speaker 21 (01:14:49):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 16 (01:14:51):
She was responded out there, and she was the one
who hopped on him and started CPR on him, and
it was the whole full team that brought him into
the trauma trauma room and h unfortunately he did make
it because whoever dropped him off there just dropped him
off and.
Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
It wasn't versus getting him all the way to the
door door.
Speaker 21 (01:15:13):
And letting us know. So we had to deal with
all of that. I've also had.
Speaker 16 (01:15:19):
A young girl who came in and she hid her
pregnancy from her father about seventeen, and she didn't know
she was pregnant, went to the bathroom, said she had
to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 21 (01:15:34):
Again, Anna responding to her going.
Speaker 16 (01:15:37):
To the bathroom, she had the baby in the toilet,
and I caught the baby in the hand.
Speaker 5 (01:15:41):
Oh boy, So how many years ago was that?
Speaker 21 (01:15:45):
Probably around about the same, about the same.
Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
No, now to think about it that that child is
now fifteen years old.
Speaker 21 (01:15:51):
That child is probably fifteen.
Speaker 5 (01:15:53):
Years somewhere between twelve and fifteen years old. Yes, it's
isn't it crazy when you it.
Speaker 16 (01:15:57):
Is you think about that. Yeah, but it was a
child that we saved. And it goes back to the
resources of that are now in place for for minors
and things of who are afraid to tell their parents
that they're possibly you know, I'm having sex or being
becoming pregnant, and the resources that are there so that
(01:16:20):
she's not having the baby in the toilet. So we
do a lot for the community for those who are
willing to accept.
Speaker 5 (01:16:27):
It right you you know, I'm assuming in your job,
you also probably bump into people later on you see them,
you know, five years later, ten years later, or something
I do.
Speaker 21 (01:16:41):
And some oftentimes, well, you know.
Speaker 5 (01:16:45):
Because you get you you take care of them in
their in their most difficult situation, and you know need
and you know that's got to be well.
Speaker 16 (01:16:54):
It reminds you the importance of like in first impression,
and how you how you provide the care because that
person's not going to forget. And I and because I
do work in the community and still live in the
surrounding community, I.
Speaker 21 (01:17:07):
Do see my patients.
Speaker 16 (01:17:08):
Sometimes I try to avoid them because I just don't
want to get into the extra conversation. But then there's
some that I just I've seen them for so many
years and I see them on the daily basis that
it is high and by and it is why are
you out here today? You're going to come back to
the er today? Are you going to stay this time?
So a lot of times when they do come and
they come in the ear, people are always watching and
(01:17:32):
so people are always listening. So oftentimes I get other
patients that are here. The interaction that I'm having with
someone and then they'll be like later, like do you
know that guy? I'm like no, but he's my patient.
I see him all the time. So the interactions that
I do have with my patients and I see often
they're personable because I've seen them so much that I
don't actually.
Speaker 21 (01:17:53):
Treat them like a patient.
Speaker 16 (01:17:54):
I treat them like an actual human being, like I
know them by first name.
Speaker 5 (01:17:59):
Do you have any funny stories? I mean, you've obviously
told some serious ones here. I know when we had Teresa,
and I know Teresa's sitting in the room here when
we had her on last year, or sometimes she told
a pretty funny story that had us all wincing in pain,
at least all of us boys. Well, so that all
(01:18:23):
of you don't know, she almost pulled a catheter out
on accident in a situation, So can you imagine that.
I can't imagine that happening to begin with, let alone
accidentally and something getting yanked.
Speaker 16 (01:18:35):
So is an ouch on a catheter is an ouch.
Speaker 5 (01:18:40):
That I'm hurting right now? Yes, it isn't out to
teach you to trip over the cord you.
Speaker 21 (01:18:51):
It's so much that happens on a basis. But uh,
let's see.
Speaker 12 (01:19:05):
How about the one where Randy was afraid of the needle?
You remember that one?
Speaker 5 (01:19:09):
No, I'm not afraid?
Speaker 21 (01:19:12):
Are you sure? Most men are?
Speaker 13 (01:19:14):
Yeah? No, I'm not.
Speaker 21 (01:19:15):
I'm good, Okay, most men are.
Speaker 5 (01:19:17):
Most I'm definitely afraid of some things, but needles not
one of them. So I'm like, just stick me, get
it over with. Let's let's do what we gotta do here. Spider,
that's a different story a bug, Yeah, heights, definitely.
Speaker 21 (01:19:38):
I don't think I can think of anything.
Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
What do you want to talk about? And what do
you like the most about your job?
Speaker 16 (01:19:46):
I just enjoy what I do. I enjoy being a nurse.
I enjoy the community I serve. I enjoy serving those
who are less that are less than I really do it.
Speaker 21 (01:19:59):
It's just the heart that I have.
Speaker 5 (01:20:01):
So when the patient comes in, you help diagnose them
as soon as they come in, Like, what what's your roles?
Speaker 16 (01:20:07):
R as a nurse and we're unable to diagnose, but
you know when you see it so much, well.
Speaker 5 (01:20:12):
You're getting information that creates the diagnosis.
Speaker 21 (01:20:14):
That creates the diagnosis.
Speaker 16 (01:20:16):
But are our interaction is initially is to change their
status from when they come into the er to either
make them better by the time that they leave, or
address issues or concerns that have been neglected or ignored.
Speaker 5 (01:20:34):
So for those of you that this assume listeners, you're
in an er every day, so you know what goes on.
I've been in the r a few times in my life,
not everybody has. So what happens. You get into the er,
you sign in, and then what what do you do
from there?
Speaker 16 (01:20:50):
Okay, So when someone comes in and checks into the ry,
they present to the ear and they announce their complaint
why they're here. Some times their legitimate complaints.
Speaker 21 (01:21:04):
Sometimes they're not.
Speaker 16 (01:21:07):
Sometimes their complaints of what just happened?
Speaker 21 (01:21:11):
What was that just about?
Speaker 16 (01:21:14):
But when they do, they are then a patient is
in trioche. We ask the general questions their name, their
date of birth, why they're here, and then from that,
from that notion and they go back and they're they're
now seen by an intake nurse.
Speaker 21 (01:21:29):
That nurse is usually in a richter nurse. That nurse
will and take all the.
Speaker 16 (01:21:34):
Information about their health, their allergies, what medications they're taking,
what their their initial complaint is, and how long they've
had their complaint and how can we address their issue?
Speaker 5 (01:21:50):
And then what do you do from there.
Speaker 21 (01:21:52):
Well, I implement the orders for that.
Speaker 16 (01:21:54):
The doctors once they're seen from Triochs and they go
and they see the doctor in MSc and that's the
medical screening evaluation. Once they're seeing there, they come back
into our area. In our area, we follow through with
the orders that the doctor has implemented are taken.
Speaker 5 (01:22:11):
Out shifting gears here. You said, I think that that
AIRMC is one of the largest hospitals in the state.
Speaker 21 (01:22:18):
It is very busy.
Speaker 5 (01:22:20):
Yeah, very busy. I think you said four hundred and
sixty beds of.
Speaker 21 (01:22:22):
Four hundred and fifty six bed hospital.
Speaker 16 (01:22:24):
Yes, and we are now and we now have a
university across the street and that's active now, so we
are affiliated with a university.
Speaker 21 (01:22:36):
There is a behavioral health unit.
Speaker 16 (01:22:38):
There is five family services units there where patients come
and they do their primary care visits. There is pediatric unit,
there's an author unit and a burn unit there.
Speaker 21 (01:22:52):
So it's everything there. There's so many resources there.
Speaker 16 (01:22:55):
It's a matter of a patient taking the initiative of
what's at being offered to them, and oftentimes on the
underserved part of the community who doesn't take that. It
involves a multitude of reasons, not just one. Our behavioral
(01:23:17):
health issues are psychological patients. Our homelessness issues. Those issues
keep patients from really taking advantage to the other resources
that are offered there at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
Speaker 5 (01:23:34):
What's your favorite thing about being a Teamster or what
do you like.
Speaker 16 (01:23:38):
About being You know, I'm learning and this experience that
I've that I've gone through right now as.
Speaker 21 (01:23:48):
I want to inquire.
Speaker 16 (01:23:49):
More about becoming a teamster. To be honest, the teamsters
has has had my back for a while now, and
it gives you a sense of security that you're not alone, honestly,
and I'm very thankful for it.
Speaker 5 (01:24:05):
Do you know how proud I am to hear you
say that sitting here? I mean, that tells me that
the work that we do, you know, is coming to fruition.
In other words, you know, you educate people, You explain
to them their rights, because if people don't utilize or
exercise the rights that they have, then you're giving them away,
you don't have them. Correct And unfortunately, today, in today's day,
(01:24:28):
we're doing a lot of that.
Speaker 21 (01:24:30):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
I don't believe we shouldn't be doing that obviously in
a union environment, and we really, really try to advocate
for people to understand their absolute rights. So so for
me to hear to be sitting here and hear you
say something like that, that's like one of the founding
principles of the organization, Like that is what we're here for.
Speaker 15 (01:24:48):
It.
Speaker 5 (01:24:48):
So when I hear someone feel like or I hear
someone describe one of the reasons they like being a
teamster or what they like about the organization is that
they feel more secure at work, they feel more courageous,
or they feel protected. Yes, can't put a price tag
on that.
Speaker 16 (01:25:05):
Yes, I promote it with my experience that I'm going through,
and I'm speaking up with a lot of my coworkers,
telling them to speak up, reach out to your union,
reach out to reach out to the teamsters.
Speaker 21 (01:25:19):
They're there.
Speaker 16 (01:25:21):
And it's allowing me to really really want to inquire
more of how I can.
Speaker 5 (01:25:28):
Be involved perfect And that's really where it starts. Is
you know, no different than myself many many years ago,
I had a very positive experience where I had a
challenging situation. Someone stepped in and I was like, oh man,
that looks that looks engaging. You know, it looks like
something that could be helpful and I want to learn
some more, and I just kept learning and learning and
(01:25:50):
learning and saturated myself in it. But what I found
in the mood the labor movement was that there's just
so many people here in this space that are just
trying to help. And there's a lot to help. Sometimes
there's not enough hours in the day to help all
of it. But but you're you're joined by others on
that in that journey that are looking to do something
very similar. So uh, you know, just learn, just get
(01:26:13):
involved and participate, and and the more you listen and
and engage and participate and and and provoke action in
a positive way, good good things happen. It is and
what makes some mistakes. All of us make mistakes along
the way.
Speaker 16 (01:26:28):
My union Rep Peter and Teresa, they've been very informative.
They I cry to them. They give me a lot
of encouragement. So when I go back to work, it's
almost like feel to continue to keep doing what I'm
(01:26:49):
doing and that.
Speaker 21 (01:26:51):
I'm sorry for getting emotional, but.
Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
No, no, it's just that means we've got a good show.
Speaker 21 (01:26:56):
It's just it's just the truth.
Speaker 5 (01:26:58):
That right true. I mean, it's a good show.
Speaker 21 (01:27:01):
They give me.
Speaker 16 (01:27:02):
They give me the guts that I need to continue
to do what I'm doing.
Speaker 5 (01:27:06):
You know, Peter Sierra, is that what you said?
Speaker 21 (01:27:08):
Yes, Peter Sierra.
Speaker 5 (01:27:09):
You know I've got him since he was a teenager.
Speaker 21 (01:27:12):
He's my guy.
Speaker 5 (01:27:13):
Yeah, next time you see me, how to ask him?
What when you were young? What did you used to
do when you went over you knocked on Randy's door?
I am, I don't. I wonder if he's going to
be if he's going to tell the whole story or not.
I'm going to ask him as he's shaking his head
right now. I wouldn't be surprised if I see a
post from him here right now saying something.
Speaker 21 (01:27:33):
But yeah, and.
Speaker 16 (01:27:34):
They've been great, and with their interactions and their their
their loyalty and their dedication and commitment to me and
their advocacy, their advocates advocacy to me, it makes me
want to get involved, and it makes me want to
be on the front line for all my other employees
who are afraid to speak up, who are afraid to
(01:27:55):
address issues that are occurring within the workforce.
Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
Yeah, and that's you know, that's what this system is
all about. That's what being part of the worker power
hour or the worker power movement or the labor Movement's
all about is you start to feel that confidence and
connection and camaraderie, and then it gives you, It makes
you feel like you can take those things on because
corporate America right now in this country wants everybody to
(01:28:22):
feel powerless. You want, you know, to be beholden somebody
and have to bow down.
Speaker 16 (01:28:28):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (01:28:28):
And the reality is is when we come together and
we work together and we put our differences aside, we
put ours aside to take on who's really oppressing us,
we can accomplish anything, literally anything. It's when we fall
(01:28:48):
into the traps of the policy divide or the political
back and forth or the typically the selfishness and the
lack of empathy is really where I've seen things, at
least recently break down. A lot can be solved when
you try to understand. You don't have to agree, right,
(01:29:10):
you just have to understand and empathize. If you can
do those things, lots of goods going to come out
of this situation.
Speaker 21 (01:29:17):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (01:29:18):
So Peter says you're a great woman, and he said
he started by saying, never happened, So that's denial.
Speaker 21 (01:29:29):
Thank you, Pete you're great.
Speaker 16 (01:29:31):
Also, they've just been wonderful and I I'm not afraid
to speak up, and so I want to be a
voice for others who.
Speaker 5 (01:29:41):
Are And well, I can tell already that you've got
a very articulate voice. Utilize that in a positive way,
like this is you know, this is the space to
do it. That this is what I fell in love
with many many, many years ago. Is I fell in
love at the space that that my voice could be
(01:30:02):
used in a positive way to help others. And and
you know, we're not always going to agree, but guess what,
as long as we figure out how to solve the problem,
we're going to make some things.
Speaker 21 (01:30:11):
Happen, right and I want to be a part of that.
Speaker 5 (01:30:14):
And some of the greatest movements in America, when you
look back on on history, it's it's that's exactly how
they did it. Every movement, every successful movement, whether it's
women's rights, civil rights, equal rights, gay rights, whatever it
may be, LGBT, anything that's happened in America has always
been because people came together and demanded something different in
(01:30:37):
a collective way. It was never given in a sense that, oh,
I guess what, we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna let
you vote now. Well, you know, when when the when
the country started, you know, you had to be a
white male landowner, correct, literally, white male landowner and nobody
else could vote. And then that that held for over
one hundred years, over one hundred years, and it took
(01:30:59):
another fifty years after that to take a little But
what people did is people came together and said, hey,
this is not right. What happened to equality? And obviously
there's been a constant push to try to create equality.
We're still not completely there, but we have to recognize
there has been movement and we need to continue to
(01:31:21):
move in the right direction. So you sound like you
got a great voice in this space, and it would
be you know, I'm sure Petere will agree with me
here that you should be more involved, help us, knock
on some doors, anything you want to close with. We're
going to take a quick break here in a minute,
but close this part of the show out.
Speaker 21 (01:31:40):
Thank you for having me. I'm honored to be here.
Speaker 5 (01:31:42):
Thank you for being on the show.
Speaker 21 (01:31:44):
Thank you. I was a little bit nervous, but I'm
glad that I'm here.
Speaker 5 (01:31:48):
Did the nervousness go away?
Speaker 21 (01:31:49):
It had it has.
Speaker 5 (01:31:51):
So you started off, you looked at someone looked like
they hit you over the head with the two by
four our first you were like, what I get myself into?
Why did I agree to this? She was looking at
you like, why'd you do that?
Speaker 16 (01:32:00):
I was just I'm just nervous, just nervousness. I want
to disappoint, that's all.
Speaker 5 (01:32:04):
But you certainly didn't.
Speaker 16 (01:32:06):
I look forward to becoming more involved and also more so,
I really want to change the narrative at my place
that I'm employed at.
Speaker 21 (01:32:17):
And when you.
Speaker 16 (01:32:19):
Mentioned corporate America, corporate America and my entity, I believe
that they they forget they're small guys, the people who
actually keep us afloat.
Speaker 21 (01:32:31):
And I believe that if they were.
Speaker 16 (01:32:33):
To become more involved and they and they have empathy
and they learn who their people are and why and
what they're doing and how they are actually serving the
community and not just posting that and presenting that make
a big difference. I really do, and I want to
change that because of the things that I've endured because
(01:32:55):
I'm there honestly by choice. I love what I do,
and I appreciate community, and I want to be someone
that wants to try to change it well.
Speaker 5 (01:33:04):
Nonnie Thompson, thank you for coming on. Thank you lvn
AIRMC eighteen years. Yes at the hospital has four hundred
and fifty six hospital bet. Thank you for the work
that you do. Appreciate the work that you do for
a community, and appreciate the fact that you love the
community so much that you're staying connected to it and
you're not just jumping around trying to capitalize on it.
So my home, that's right, it's your home and that's
(01:33:26):
what we're trying to take care of is our home.
So thank you. And it comes across that's that's great,
and that's that's that's a great energy. You're always going
to be in a great space if you live there.
So thank you very much for coming on again. This
is Randy Corgan and the work of Power Hour KCAA

Take it Away, Mark.

For PA ten fifty AM, NBC News Radio and Express.
One of six point five California Senators Alex Padia and
Adam Schiff are among a group of twenty two senators
introducing legislation to restrict the president's authority under the two
hundred and seventeen year old Insurrection Act. The New Insurrection
(01:34:15):
Act of twenty twenty five would reform existing legislation that
gives a president broad and vague authority to deploy troops,
either with or without the request of the state, to
suppress any insurrections, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy. The
current law has been used sparingly by other presidents, given
(01:34:36):
the potential for the military to escalate tension rather than
restore order. Junk dealers and recyclers are coming under increased
pressure to collect and report information on copper transactions, which
has left neighborhoods in the dark, and telecommunications and utility
outages that have impacted businesses and agriculture operations, as well
(01:34:58):
as threatened public safety. During the last half of twenty
twenty four, the telcom industry alone reported nearly six thousand
incidents of copper theft and infrastructure vandalism nationwide. Roughly one
third of those incidents happened in California. Join the Riverside
County Department of Waste Resources for Kids ECO Day on Saturday,
(01:35:19):
June twenty eighth, from ten to twelve in Marina Valley.
This free event is a fun way to introduce both
kids and their families to the concept of waste reduction,
responsible disposal and sustainability whether in the Inland Empire. Will
be in the high eighties with overnight lows in the
low sixties. For KCAA ten fifty AM and Express one
(01:35:41):

To date, We're back with the Worker Power Hour Randy
(01:36:34):
Corgan k c A ten fifty A and one to
six point five FM and the Teamsters nineteen thirty two
Broadcast Network. We have James Martinez with us, longtime eater,
first Time Food You right right, and our James Bites
Back segment here in a minute, I gotta give a
couple more last updates from the local union before I
(01:36:57):
transition into you. We had a very successful June teenth
event on Thursday June nineteenth, which is juneteenth, and had
a packed house here. The team did a great job.
Khalida and Shar did a great job of leading that
(01:37:18):
and helping set that up. Some of our staff did
a good job of chipping in and assisting as well.
Had hundreds of people here enjoying a great day of
festivities and celebrating the holiday and also celebrating what it means.
And we just always want to recognize our history, also
recognize as parts of our history that you know, we're
(01:37:39):
not so proud of in America, where things have made
a mistake and it's important for us to rectify those
and celebrate those in a way of doing things like
on June teenth and not minimizing what the effort is
Like I heard some other comments from some elected officials. However,
we believe what you did was great. So thanks the
(01:38:02):
team the TNBC and are members of the Black Caucus
that are helping drive that positive message around Juneteenth, what
it stands for, what it means, and all that great
work it looked like. Unfortunately I had other commitments and
couldn't make the event, but what a phenomenal event it
(01:38:23):
looked like? Did truth be told that? And told anybody this?
We have cameras in the building, so I was actually
watching some of the events through the cameras. You could
see people dancing in the courtyard, you could see all
the boosts that were in the parking lot, and everybody
just having a really good time, good food, DJ all
that so a great event again, looking forward to another
(01:38:44):
great one next year, and the team on the ground
did a great job, so thank you very much. We
also the Hispanic Caucus did a great job of educating
members on the protocols around the immigration issues and ICE enteringacilities.
They have put out cards and what they call red
cards that explain to people what their rights are and
(01:39:08):
what you should do and what you shouldn't do when
you're engaging or being engaged in these potential situations. Also
want to recognize that while the Hispanic Caucus was at
the National Hispanic Caucus in San Diego for their biannual
conference they do a conference every two years, that the
(01:39:30):
recognition our local union received from all the programs in
which we have going on right now, the Hispanic Caucus
put together a children's book in addition to doing the
cards and a bunch of education with the community and
the schools around not only the subjects with what's going
on right now with immigration and the ICE agents, but
(01:39:50):
also just in general of the culture. And so it's
great to see all the recognition happening in that space.
So great job to that team as well for what
you're doing there. And so with that, I want to
transition into James bites back. Did you hear the earlier
part of the show.
Speaker 13 (01:40:10):
I was on my way here. I couldn't get the
station on there, but I heard.
Speaker 5 (01:40:13):
Put the app on your phone and you listen live.
Speaker 13 (01:40:15):
They have that new law. I can't touch my phone
on the.
Speaker 5 (01:40:18):
Car all of a sudden, All of a sudden, listen
to this guy. You actually almost made me believe. You
believe him right now? He said, that's so convincing. That's true.
Speaker 13 (01:40:29):
That's a new law in California.
Speaker 5 (01:40:31):
What do you mean it's a new law. It's been
an existing No.
Speaker 13 (01:40:33):
It's now. It's kind of like you look at your screen.
It's kind of like ticket. Well, how do they know
if you look at your screens you have it up there?
Speaker 5 (01:40:39):
Well, don't hold the phone up ten your windows. They
can't see through it.
Speaker 13 (01:40:44):
You gotta take it for tainted windows.
Speaker 5 (01:40:45):
I'll take the window ticket over the handling the device.
Speaker 13 (01:40:48):
Yeah, true, James, James.
Speaker 12 (01:40:52):
With everybody doing it, your chances are getting caught.
Speaker 13 (01:40:55):
I'm that one guy. I'm going to be so whenever
I've gone to places that they have like metal detectors.
I always get the pat down.
Speaker 12 (01:41:04):
I'm the guy that catch too.
Speaker 15 (01:41:05):
Yeah.

Always Disneyland. I would go to Disney always a guy
with a pat down, Always a guy that had the
dog go around.
Speaker 5 (01:41:11):
Well, the reason I brought it up wasn't to get
into this. It was too because we had an ice
cream person on the team street right see you see
him here, all right?
Speaker 13 (01:41:23):
So I pad I'm gonna need names, numbers.
Speaker 5 (01:41:26):
Brewster's Real ice Cream in Rancho cucka manga. I issued
him a challenge and said that we were gonna have
you come on the show. And I said, if I
know him, he'll be hunting you down here pretty soon.
Speaker 13 (01:41:39):
Yeah, if you're still in the parking lot, stay out.
Speaker 12 (01:41:42):
I have a challenge. I have a challenge for you.
So you hit three donut shops.
Speaker 13 (01:41:46):
Last time, Correct to two donut shops.
Speaker 12 (01:41:48):
So I challenged you to three ice cream shops on
one day.
Speaker 13 (01:41:51):
Oh, I mean, I'm gonna tell you what happened.
Speaker 5 (01:41:54):
He sounds like he already did it too.
Speaker 13 (01:41:56):
I'm gonna tell you what happened to twenty two of
twenty two. So February twenty second of twenty twenty two
landed on a Tuesday. So I did twenty two tacos
and twenty two beers for Taco Tuesday that year, and
how many hours the whole entire day?
Speaker 5 (01:42:13):
Yeah, okay, that's not bad if you spread it out.
Speaker 13 (01:42:16):
Well, yeah, breakfast, tacos, mimosas and well, you know, did
you count the mimosas as beers?
Speaker 19 (01:42:21):
No?
Speaker 13 (01:42:22):
I did. That was in between the beer that the.
Speaker 5 (01:42:24):
Boy had twenty two beers and mamos michels.
Speaker 13 (01:42:27):
You know, twenty two tacos, twenty two beers.
Speaker 12 (01:42:30):
And you're worried about touching your phone in the car.
Speaker 13 (01:42:32):
Eh, Well, I mean it was a white choice. I
mean I said it couldn't be done, but I did it.
Twenty two tacos, twenty two beers on two twenty two
twenty two So three ice cream shops one day. Yeah,
that's easy's ease after that's easy?
Speaker 5 (01:42:47):
Oh boy.
Speaker 13 (01:42:48):
But now it's just becoming advantage members to do that with. Yeah,
we have one right now, I gotta find two more.
They're there too, yea, we got yeah, I gotta yeah,
I got tons of options.
Speaker 5 (01:43:01):
So apparently apparently they make their ice cream fresh every day.
Speaker 13 (01:43:05):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (01:43:06):
So that's that that that's all I can't.
Speaker 12 (01:43:11):
Did he say they bring the milk in from Pennsylvania fresh?
Speaker 5 (01:43:14):
That's right? Wow? You know we have dairies here too,
I know, but there's something said for there's something said
for the dairy farms in that part of p A a.
Speaker 13 (01:43:25):
While California was doing happy Cows. I don't know what
happened to for happy cows.
Speaker 5 (01:43:29):
Maybe they're happier in Pennsylvania. I don't know. I could
tell you it's beautiful country. Like I was actually just
just there for a conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania, just just
about a month ago, a little more in a month ago.
I had to speak at something. And I saw tons
of dairies there and and and they they're their dairy
products are pretty darn good.
Speaker 13 (01:43:52):
You know what. Hershey, Pennsylvania is one of one of
the places on my bucket list too. Is it that
that in Dollywood?
Speaker 5 (01:43:58):
Yeah? I didn't go there. I mean I saw but
I I mean that I saw it like I went
to it.
Speaker 13 (01:44:02):
I just you know, yeah, no, no, no, So I'll
definitely check out.
Speaker 5 (01:44:06):
All right, So what did you what's your what's you
on the show for? What did you? Where'd you end up?
Are you gonna give us a review of for James
bites back, seeing that we we blew it earlier and
couldn't remember the name. Did you hear that, Robert James
bites back, No, you didn't.
Speaker 12 (01:44:22):
I didn't hear that.
Speaker 5 (01:44:23):
I didn't hear you say that you have dementia. Now
we have dementia.
Speaker 12 (01:44:31):
You know what? I giggling all you know what? That's
elder abuse. I'm canceled what you.
Speaker 13 (01:44:39):
Got, James. So here's the things that has been happening
since we started doing this. I've had people hit me
up in meetings about like when are you gonna go
so we could go its own? Yeah? Yeah, and then like, hey,
is Randy ever gonna go with you? I don't know.
I mean, it's just the things that we show up
and things that we started doing. So then it just
became this huge snowball of people wanting to and I'm
(01:45:02):
grateful for it, and I'm just trying to figure out
how to get it all going. Is kind of like
find a place, let's give it all, give it a try.
So then I'm not sure if like we could do
we were doing our our campaign of thank a Teamster.
I was wondering if we could do something called thank
a Community.
Speaker 5 (01:45:22):
Yeah, or thank a teamster advantage partner.
Speaker 13 (01:45:24):
Yeah, and then we could just like this is the
person of the month, let them know where you got
here on the show, and then just barred them for
a whole month of just like going to that one place.
So we could let them know that.
Speaker 5 (01:45:37):
You know, well, I think what you gotta do is
you gotta go first, and you got to give them
a review.
Speaker 13 (01:45:41):
No, so I tried out Spirit of Texas. Okay, so
they're out in Samurad. You off a highland. The offer
ten percent off for the team store advantage. I went
there with a Neo team. Shout out to the Neo team.
My god, the pork belly that they had there just
like melt the way really. Yeah, so they The best
(01:46:03):
part of that I went with a few people is
that everyone had different things.
Speaker 5 (01:46:05):
So everybody got to try.
Speaker 13 (01:46:07):
Yeah, a whole bunch of banana pudding if you really
love banana putting, like that was so good. Two different
types of mac and cheese, your normal delicious one and spicy.
Had a little bit of hollo of pen you know,
good kick to it, not overwhelmingly. But then he also
had the barbecue that will just tone it down some
and it wouldn't be so so spicy on you. And
(01:46:27):
then you had the sweetness of the tank from the barbecue.
So the pool pork, somebody had the pul pork sandwiches
and had I had a stand below that one. I
had the burnt and they had called it burnton and
pork belly, which was just so so so good. So
they was like again, they're located off in h up
in Semur, you know, off of Highland Avenue. Ten percent off.
(01:46:49):
I also went to Kucas. Now they have several different locations.
The one that I went to was in Yukaipa that
offered Ukaypa Boulevard. They also offer ten percent off. They
were one of the few pastes places that offered nacho
cheese instead of shredded read and cheese geese. Yeah. I
don't know, people really.
Speaker 5 (01:47:07):
Like I you know, it's funny. Yeah, I am too.
I can. I could do either one, but I typically
if it's on nachos and stuff like that, I typically
choose the shredded cheese over the nacho ches.
Speaker 13 (01:47:20):
Yeah. Yeah, So they had nacho fries and they had
nacho nacho. So we had a couple of like that
and had tilar tacos. Talcos were really good. The only
I had one small issue that that they lost my order,
but they made up for it and they got me
extra chips and so that was pretty good. But other
than that, the experience was really good. The food was amazing.
(01:47:41):
I mean, have I had better? Yes? Have I had worse? Awesome?
Yeah too, But this was really good. I would definitely
go again. And you have different locations, so I believe
you even told me tried this other location here.
Speaker 5 (01:47:51):
In Redlands in red Lands. Yeah, the Redlands one is
actually a little better, is it?
Speaker 13 (01:47:55):
Yeah? Okay, so that's what I'm saying. I'll probably go
check them out too. And then I also Rocky Mountain
Chocolate Factory in Redlands. They're privately owned.
Speaker 5 (01:48:06):
Oh yeah, I actually know the owner of that place.
Speaker 13 (01:48:08):
Yeah, so they're privately owned.
Speaker 5 (01:48:09):
Did you see him in there or no?
Speaker 13 (01:48:11):
No, no, there was a couple kids. Yeah, yeah, so
very friendly.
Speaker 5 (01:48:17):
It's been a bit since I've been in there. I
gotta get in there and say to Yeah.
Speaker 13 (01:48:20):
They also off of they're also off I love Amma
ten percent off. Pretty good place. Chocolate covered strawberries are
really good apples, their apples are really really good. The
Avaliche I think I had the Avalanche Chapel, which is
just ginormous good chocolate. You can tell the place by
their chocolate. Good chocolate. So that was pretty good. So
those are a couple of places that I hit. I
have a few more. I got to hit them now,
(01:48:41):
I gotta.
Speaker 5 (01:48:42):
I gotta get you back to the to the barbecue place.
Let's go back to talk about it, not go back
to eat. So you said the pork belly, but what
else was there?
Speaker 13 (01:48:56):
Oh, your typical ribs?
Speaker 5 (01:48:58):
Where they beef ribs or pork ribs.
Speaker 13 (01:49:00):
I tell the pork ribs. I think they might have
the beef ribs. I do not remember the menu off
the top of my head. But it was really good.
Speaker 5 (01:49:07):
Barbecue sauce, spicy.
Speaker 13 (01:49:08):
Sweet, both both, So you have your choice. Uh, this
little hit hinto heat. It wasn't that bad. I mean,
I really really enjoyed it. I'm very picky about my
barbecue sauce. I don't know about you, guys, I am.
So would you go spicy or go sweet?
Speaker 5 (01:49:23):
I typically go spicy, all right, so I go less.
I go less sweet than spicy. But I'm actually on
the light side of barbecue sauce. So when I cook
or barbecue something or make something, I don't want to
completely smother than barbecue.
Speaker 13 (01:49:38):
Yeah, so you're more I want to hear that.
Speaker 5 (01:49:39):
I want to taste the flavor of the meat.
Speaker 13 (01:49:41):
So you're more of a Louisiana Saint Louis style barbecue.
Speaker 5 (01:49:45):
A I prefer that. Yeah, more of a rub.
Speaker 13 (01:49:48):
Yeah, so this one is that, since it's spared of Texas,
is more of a Texas ale barbecue, not lathered, not
lathered at all. It was enough for me to be like,
all right, I could still taste the smokiness and I
could still taste the meat.
Speaker 5 (01:50:00):
I always feel like, if there's too much barbecue sauce
on it, you're trying to cover up.
Speaker 13 (01:50:03):
The mistakes you made in on the grill, on the smoker. Yeah,
what was the Whe's the worst place you've ever had
barbecue at?
Speaker 5 (01:50:11):
The worst place I've ever had barbecue at? Probably Sundowners.
Speaker 13 (01:50:22):
Are they considered a barbecue place? No, No, it's a
it's a cafeteria, right, it's more of a cafeteria.
Speaker 5 (01:50:27):
Sundowners is a cheap Yeah, Sundowners is a cheap sizzler,
which tells you something when you say that, that's that
was fun. There was one in Sambordino too, Okay, growing
are they there? Yeah, they're family owned.
Speaker 13 (01:50:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:50:41):
Do you eat there? Yeah? So did I I ate
there growing up?
Speaker 13 (01:50:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:50:46):
Yeah, if you grew up in the I I think
I they're growing up.
Speaker 13 (01:50:52):
What was a Sunday special.
Speaker 5 (01:50:57):
Steak, fries and potatoes? Huh yeah, huh. Anyway, worst barbecue
for a barbeque joint, I'm not big on. Is it
called Dickey's or something like that? Yeah, I'm not. I'm not.
Hopefully we don't have any of them on our team.
Stir advantage.
Speaker 12 (01:51:13):
I think we had yea palm my bad if we do.
Speaker 5 (01:51:18):
Yeah, I've never you know, but but I you know,
I had had Cornerstone here recently and there their brisket
like melted, I mean just melted. It was like butter incredible.
Speaker 13 (01:51:35):
Did you go to the one? No?
Speaker 5 (01:51:37):
I actually had him, cater I had had uh it
was my wife's birthday. Had him do my wife's birthday
and and yeah, I had a combination. I basically ate
barbecue for like a few dates after that barbe with
all the leftovers.
Speaker 13 (01:51:55):
Yeah, they have a couple in Redlands now. I believe.
Speaker 5 (01:51:57):
Yeah, Redlands and Beaumont. Yeah, yea, I ordered from the
Boma location. I've gone to the Bomon one. But like again,
it was I think I did that first review. I
kind of, but they were out of a lot of stuff, uh,
because I went later on the afternoon. Yeah, they're brisket
is is well. Actually all their stuff is pretty much
off the charts now. Most people like when they Everybody
(01:52:20):
at the at the birthday party commented on it thought
it was great except for the chicken. They weren't. They
weren't negatively comming in negatively about the chicken. They were
just saying, it's not as good as my chicken, my
barbecue chicken.
Speaker 13 (01:52:32):
But I don't so next party you're going to order?
That mean you're gonna make the chicken yourself?
Speaker 5 (01:52:38):
No, not at all. No, I mean I still i'll
I'll barbecue chicken, but I don't like to. I'm not
gonna barbecue chicken to offset something like that.
Speaker 13 (01:52:47):
That's just either gonna cater the whole way correct or
make it all yourself. Yeah, yeah, how are you on
the grill?
Speaker 5 (01:52:54):
I hear I'm pretty darn good. You might want to
ask that guy right there real good.
Speaker 12 (01:52:59):
Okay, he's got a short rib that whenever he makes it,
you you wait for you either stand there to get one,
or you don't get one.
Speaker 5 (01:53:08):
You're gonna get it right off the grill, or else
it's gone.
Speaker 13 (01:53:10):
It's gone.
Speaker 12 (01:53:10):
Yeah, he makes a chicken. What's the chicken you make
with the bell peppers or the chicken fijeta chicken peda.
Speaker 5 (01:53:17):
I make a very odd, unusual chicken fijeta. It the
way I cook it, it looks kind of weird when
you're when I'm cooking it, but when it's done, it is,
it is. It's pretty. It's pretty dark. Good.
Speaker 13 (01:53:30):
So do you have, like what kind of equipment do
you have, Like, do you have a trigger? Do you
have blackstone?
Speaker 5 (01:53:35):
Or I've got a I've got a flat grill, I've
got a regular grill, and I've got a big smoker.
I got pizza oven. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (01:53:44):
Oh nice your house.
Speaker 5 (01:53:46):
Yeah, I'm not afraid to I'm not afraid to fire it.
Speaker 13 (01:53:49):
So the next review is going to be off Brandy's house.
We're going to add that one to the list. We'll
bring the ice cream as well. There we are just
added to the team.
Speaker 5 (01:54:00):
One of my favorite things to cook is a try tip.
What I'll do is when I make a try tip,
I seasoned it for about about six hours in a
Worcestershire and Montreal seasoning, a Worcester Sure sauce in a
Montreal seasoning and let it get soft and get down
to room temperature and then inject it. No, I won't
(01:54:22):
inject it, and then I'll cook it. But then in
the middle of cooking it, I'll put the I'll put
onions and mushrooms over the top of it. And if
you cook it to the right temperature and you have
all the right stuff on it, it comes out pretty
darn good. Yeah, fast, it's easy.
Speaker 13 (01:54:45):
I want to add that to the review list. Let
me know when you have the next barbecue, and I'll
review it here.
Speaker 5 (01:54:50):
On the show.
Speaker 13 (01:54:53):
People will probably be like, oh, let's go to there, because,
like I said, people want to get together and have
a teamster night out type deal.
Speaker 5 (01:54:59):
Yeah yeah, this is uh. I like this, this is fun.
We'll set it up and just roll with it. Don't
wait on me.
Speaker 13 (01:55:05):
I'm not waiting on anyway, just trying to get the
whole Like, all right, who's in you know.
Speaker 5 (01:55:09):
What you have to do. I've learned in this job.
The one thing you just you just got to set
the date. Yeah, because what you do is you kick
it around and go, oh yeah, it's good.
Speaker 13 (01:55:18):
Well I could set a date. The thing that my
problem is that I also accommodate. I'm like, well I
would if I could, like.
Speaker 5 (01:55:24):
Just set the date, people will make it work, alrighty.
Speaker 13 (01:55:27):
So I'll pick a restaurant, make an announcement yep, and
then and then we'll go from there.
Speaker 5 (01:55:32):
And then we'll have you know, we can have the
teams to advantage Facebook put something out say hey, all
of you, they're doing it on such and such day,
right Mark, We'll make a flyer. Yeah, oh it'd be cool. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (01:55:45):
We'll pick a restaurant and we could have a team
sure night out dinner night out type deal, and they
could review and they could talk to people and see
what they say. I mean, I recommend a place that
I already went to before.
Speaker 12 (01:55:56):
We'll put out on that motification at Facebook. It'll mean
I get one hundred people.
Speaker 5 (01:56:02):
I love it.
Speaker 13 (01:56:02):
I think it's a great idea because it'd be I mean,
imagine for a restaurant they're like, yo, the teamsters descended
on us on such and such day, and it could
have made it could make their night.
Speaker 5 (01:56:12):
Especially if you do it like a Wednesday night or something.
It's a little off, it's not necessarily going to be
a big night. So I love it. I think it's
a great idea. This is why when we were riffing
on it at that membership meeting, I was like, I
think this think this can turn into something.
Speaker 12 (01:56:27):
Yeah, it might be fair to let them know we're coming,
just so they can be prepared.
Speaker 5 (01:56:30):
Well, I think what we got to do is the
first one, you got to see how many people are
going to actually show. Yeah, and then if you overwhelm.
If you overwhelm the first business, you give them another
shot at it because you overwhelm them. And then the
next one you don't overwhelm because you know everybody's going
to show.
Speaker 12 (01:56:44):
We'll just called a flash momb.
Speaker 5 (01:56:45):
We have to figure out, Yeah, you have to figure
out how solid everybody's going to be in the commitments. Yeah,
I mean, because what you don't want to do is
tell the business, hey, you got one hundred people coming
or fifty people are coming or whatever, and then you
got twenty and then all of a sudden, they over ordered.
They over ordered that hurts them.
Speaker 13 (01:57:01):
Yeah, I don't want them.
Speaker 5 (01:57:02):
Well flash mob at first, that's the way you do it.
You'd rather them come up short. So we're getting to
the end of this show.
Speaker 12 (01:57:10):
Right, Yeah, about three minutes, two minutes, so ice cream.
Speaker 13 (01:57:15):
Next month you're barbecue. Gotta find a third maybe some
Indian food.
Speaker 5 (01:57:22):
All right, Well, we've been joined by James Martinez. James
bites back our new segment segment to review all our
cool teams for Advantage Partners. And you know what we're
doing in the inland Empires. We're building worker power. You
see the Think a Team Stir program, you see our billboards,
you see the buses, you see the message we have
(01:57:44):
out there, really really bringing a positive message about how
the teamsters impact the community. And what can you do
to help build worker power. You can encourage your friends
and your family and your neighbors to build worker power.
More workers should organize, More workers should have a union contract.
And you know, in America right now, only ninety actually
you know, ninety percent of Americans don't have a union
(01:58:06):
contract currently right now, and that means only ten percent
are covered by collective bargaining. And with that number being
so small, more workers need to understand what worker power is,
need to exercise that worker power, and what are we
doing to do that. We obviously are you know, putting
a message out. We have the Worker Power Hour. We
have our show now. The show airs Monday through Friday
(01:58:29):
at eleven o'clock as well, so you can catch up
on old episodes and listen to that. We just run
slowly through through old episodes and you know, we're just
pounding the message on a regular basis to make sure
that the general public understands how positive unions are and
how they can build worker power too. And what are
(01:58:51):
we doing to do that. We're obviously, We've our membership
has built the commitment out and has delivering on it
every single day. And you know, make sure that you
are the show, you share the message, you participate, and
you get involved. This is Randy Corgan and the Worker
