Each week, we partner with Breaking Points to review some of The Daily Poster’s most impactful reporting in a video discussion with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti.
In this week’s discussion, David Sirota reviewed The Daily Poster’s huge scoop on how Amazon-linked lobbying groups were fighting legislation designed to prohibit retribution against employees who seek to leave work out of fear for their safety. The lobbying happened in the months before deadly tornadoes wreaked havoc across several states last weekend — including at an Amazon warehouse, where workers were killed. Text messages reportedly show workers saying they weren’t allowed to leave and feared losing their jobs.
We send out the clip of these discussions once a week. You can also find Breaking Points’ YouTube channel here.
This collaboration adds to our partnerships with Jacobin, Newsweek, The Guardian, The Hill, The American Prospect, The Intercept, and Earther. All of these partnerships help defray the costs of doing our labor-intensive investigations, allow our work to have wider distribution and a bigger impact, and add to the movement to build an independent, non-corporate media.
