Heartland Labor Forum
Heartland Labor Forum is Kansas City's only program about the workplace. It is produced by and for our working people. We have been agitating on the air since 1989. Find out who is busting unions and who is fighting back. We are a member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network #laborradiopod
Kansas City’s Alise Martiny is one of the highest ranking women in building trades union history. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we’ll talk to her and find out how she rose from Cement Mason apprentice to VP of the Operative Plasterers’ & Cement Masons’ International Association. Then a roofer’s life is often unbearably hot or cold and almost always dangerous. Steve Gercone came down off of a roof to become Business Manager of Roofers Local 20. Why become a roofer and what difference does it make to hire a union roofer? Also Mark Galus with Labor Song of the Month.
