US: Diplomats back to Kyiv, revitalisation of the labour movement

From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 26 April 2022

US correspondent Kelsey Snell joins Kathryn to talk about the return of diplomats to Kyiv, with President Biden expected to announce a new ambassador to Ukraine.

It comes as the Secretaries of Defence and State are in Ukraine to meet with President Zelensky.

She'll also talk about the moves by workers at Amazon and Starbucks to unionise  - part of a revitalisation of the union movement by young, Black and Latino employees.

It's not without push back from the big corporations, with Starbucks facing a lawsuit accusing it of firing workers who tried to unionise.

Kelsey Snell is a congressional correspondent for NPR, based in Washington DC.
