The ISM Hospital Report
Doctors and nurses could only practice in the state where they were licensed before and throughout Covid. Now, a new medical contract between states allows doctors to practice in 34 states with a modified licensing process, and nurses can practice in 39 states with a similar licensing process. These medical compacts between states allow doctors and nurses to travel to the hotspots to help, or move to a new state without having to go through the entire licensing process starting from scratch. Although Covid is still with us, the Delta variant crisis has passed, and the new Omicron Ba5 variant is much less virulent. States have awakened to the need for qualified health care help in times of crisis by signing on to the medical compacts. State-to-state medical mobility is great news for health care professionals and the general public should another pandemic arise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cliff Notes on the Global Manufacturing Picture
In this week's episode of 'Cliff Notes on the Global Manufacturing Picture', host Cliff Waldman considers two significant disruptions to the U.S. manufacturing outlook. The emergence of a new variant of Covid-19 has generated rapid government action as well as much confusion around the world. And evidence that inflation has hit three-decade highs suggests the risk of a more aggressive policy response by the Federal Reserve than most were expecting. Both of these disruptions have significant consequences for financial markets, for the broad U.S. economy and for the manufacturing outlook. Cliff reviews recent data on economic growth and manufacturing activity and offers conclusions about the impact of an unexpected turn in the pandemic and an escalation of price pressures.

Prison strike actions are anticipated beginning Sept 9, 2016 in federal, state and city prisons and jails, along with juvenile and immigrant detention facilities over the issue of forced slave labor allowed under the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution adopted in 1865 and vastly expanded under an Executive Order by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. Slavery has now expanded from punishment into a program to train inmates in skill sets to employ them after their release but is actually a major for-profit enterprise used by some of the biggest Corporations in America to obtain labor at hourly rates not seen since 1865, in direct competition with small and midsize manufacturers who have terminated employees, lost revenues and even lost their business to the prison-industrial complex. Listen at mfgtalkradio.com as Tim Grady and Lew Weiss interview Azzura Crispino, Media Coordinator for the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee who discusses the aspects of racism, prison slavery, direct competition with American manufacturing and the work stoppage action at dozens of prison and detention facilities across America where OSHA rules are not enforced to protect incarcerated slaves Learn more about your ad choices.

The upbeat, flowery marketing language of these prison labor websites makes them sound as benevolent as Santa Claus despite underpinnings of longer prison sentences for non-violent offenders and a majority of inmates being black or Hispanic working for as little as 16 cents per hour.

S3-E15 West Coast Port Crisis Continues! Special Guest Congressman Rod Blum
Think the West Coast port situation doesn’t affect you – or your kids? Think again! Special Guest U.S. Congressman Rod Blum joins us LIVE to discuss the worsening situation at the ports. Tune in to hear how the intentionally created congestion at the ports, and the products needed by America’s manufacturers to keep the jobs engine firing on all cylinders, is being ignored by the White House while retailers squirm under the scrutiny of customers who don’t understand why they can’t get the goods they ordered or the products they want. The ripple effects of raw materials not making it to manufacturing assembly lines, retail goods from the holidays arriving late but clogging warehouses, and retail products not being available for your spring shopping season are throwing sand in the gears of commerce across America and around the globe as the waves of disruption increase in size and intensity, washing against our productivity shores and erode America’s GDP, dragging more and more pieces of the 2015 economy out to sea.

S3-E14 West Coast Port Slowdown: Devastating For The Economy -Panel Discussion
Will They? Won't They? It Looks Imminent, Mr. President!With no contract, will the ILWU walk off the job and strike? Will the PMA lock out the workers as they did in 2002? If the West Coast ports are shut down at a cost to the country of nearly $2 billion a day, which seems likely given the breakdown in contract negotiations, thousands of containers coming into the U.S. and thousands more head out stuff with our exports will sit idle at the docks. Will the president invoke the Taft-Hartley Act to force the sides back to work by declaring a national emergency? Tune in to Manufacturing Talk Radio and get the latest update on how a port strike could further cripple America's manufacturing and potentially the whole economy for 2015.For those who have been following the recent ISM reports, and stories on mfgtalkradio.com one of the recurring concerns of respondents in both the manufacturing and service sector has been the congestion at West Coast Ports - which handled 43.5% of containerized cargo in the U.S and where transiting cargo accounted for 12.5% of US GDP - as a result of reduced work output by the local unions who have been more focused in recent weeks on ongoing wage hike negotiations.And according to the latest update from the 29 west coast ports that serve as the entry point of the bulk of Asia/Pac trade into and out of the US, things are about to get far worse for America's manufacturing base, because as RILA reported earlier, talks between the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) representing port management, and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) officially broke down on Wednesday, and without an agreement, experts have suggested that nearly 30 west coast ports could be shut down within a week.Special GuestsJoin us this Tuesday at 1PM EST with returning special guest Peter Friedmann: Executive Director, Agriculture Transportation Coalition, who plays a key role in developing U.S. and international ocean and waterborne transportation policy.Joining Peter will be Mark Hirzel, President, Los Angeles Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Association, Inc., Mark is the Customs Consultancy Manager for DHL Global Logistics, responsible for DHLs professional consulting services team in the United States.
