FULL EP | 2,000 Starbuck Workers Going on Strike; Can You Understand Black Women if You Do Not Talk to Them; New Jersey Transit Rail Workers Back to Work After Agreement Reached; and MORE

In the latest episode of The D.L. Hughley Show Podcast, the team delves into the recent strike by over 2,000 Starbucks baristas across 120 U.S. stores. The workers are protesting a newly implemented dress code that mandates solid black shirts and khaki, black, or blue denim bottoms, replacing the previously more flexible attire options. The union representing the baristas, Starbucks Workers United, argues that such changes should be subject to collective bargaining, emphasizing that the company’s focus should be on addressing staffing and pay concerns rather than imposing restrictive dress codes.  

The podcast also features a provocative “Question of the Day” segment, exploring whether one can truly understand Black women without engaging in conversations with them. This discussion stems from a public dispute between former NFL players Robert Griffin III (RG3) and Ryan Clark. RG3’s comments suggesting that WNBA player Angel Reese harbors hatred towards Caitlin Clark sparked criticism from Clark, who questioned RG3’s understanding of Black women’s experiences, citing his interracial marriages as a potential disconnect. The feud has ignited broader conversations about race, representation, and personal boundaries in sports commentary. 

In transportation news, Sybil Wilkes reports on the resolution of New Jersey’s first statewide transit strike in over 40 years. A tentative agreement has been reached between NJ Transit and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, ending a three-day rail stoppage that disrupted services for approximately 100,000 daily commuters. Full rail operations are set to resume, bringing relief to many affected by the strike.
