Listen now:
On this week’s podcast, Stephanie, Omar and Rob dig into two big stories from this week’s news:
- Workers in Monroe have walked off the job after W&W Dairy’s new owners, Kansas City-based Dairy Farmers of America, is forcing employees to reverify documentation status. About 40 workers, most of whom have worked there more than 10 years, are asking for a severance package for those who can’t verify. Read Omar’s story here.
- Monona Grove Football Club, a local youth soccer club, has fired a volunteer coach over allegations of “berating” players on one occasion and getting into it with a ref on another; promoting her own nonprofit foundation through the club; talking positively about the club on podcasts and radio shows; and a few other allegations — allegations she only learned about five days after she was initially fired. The director of coaching resigned in protest, and parents are up in arms. Read Rob’s story here.
Then we bounce around this week’s roudtable question: what’s your most Wisconsin thing? And end up planning what sounds like a pretty decent Friday night.
