    Campus Protests Spread, UK Asylum Law, Starbucks at SCOTUS

    Campus Protests Spread, UK Asylum Law, Starbucks at SCOTUS
    Protests against the war in Gaza on college campuses now stretch from coast to coast. The United Kingdom is ready to pay a country thousands of miles away to take its unwanted refugees. And a years-long labor battle at Starbucks reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, which could set a precedent for future union building efforts.

    Philippa Gregory's Normal Women

    Philippa Gregory's Normal Women

    This Sunday we're bringing you a bonus episode from a new podcast: Normal Women, from celebrated novelist and historian Philippa Gregory.

    Normal Women is a radical retelling of our nation’s story – not of the rise and fall of kings and the occasional queen – but of social and cultural change, powered by the determination, persistence and effectiveness of women, from 1066 to modern times. This is not a podcast about three or four well-known heroines. It is a story about millions of women: those who left records and those who were ‘hidden from history.’

    Find the rest of the series here.

    The Promise and the Limits of the UAW Deals

    The Promise and the Limits of the UAW Deals
    The United Auto Workers secured its biggest victory in decades in deals with the Big 3 car companies after weeks of strikes.

    While the union won a lot of concessions for workers: big pay raises, cost of living adjustments tied to inflation and increased retirement contributions, some workers are focused on what the new contracts are missing.

    NPR Labor and Workplace Correspondent Andrea Hsu reports on what the historic contracts include and what they don't. Host Ari Shapiro speaks with NPR business reporter Camila Domonoske about how the UAW is looking to build on its gains.
