"NYC Bakery Workers threatened by Homeland Security": Workers at the Tom Cat Bakery, NYC's oldest artisanal bakery, are protesting the threatened mass firing of dozens of immigrant workers following a Department of Homeland Security investigation. As members of a labor organization called Brandworkers, they called on management to cooperate with them to explore challenges to the Dept. of Homeland Security investigation. More broadly, Tom Cat employees called on fellow workers around the country, particularly immigrants, indigenous peoples, African Americans and other marginalized communities to rise with them, culminating in a General Strike on May 1. Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg.
