WorkWeek looks at the struggle of the French people and workers against the Macron government. WorkWeek was in Paris on November 24,2018 when tens of thousands of workers went to the streets of Paris and other cities against regressive taxation and austerity policies of the Macron government.

Next, WorkWeek hears from UBER Lyft drivers who rallied at San Francisco City Hall and marched to the world headquarters of UBER to protest the dangerous and increasing cuts to their living conditions. We interview Edward Escobar who is with the Alliance for Independent Workers who has been involved in organizing UBER and Lyft workers in Northern California and linking up internationally.
