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
This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we’ll look at what happens to American workers when the company is owned by foreigners. We’ll talk to filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar and to UMKC economist Zhongjin Li about the film American Factory about the workers and management at a Chinese owned factory in Ohio. We’ll look at what appears to be very different work cultures and ask about how the stereotypes of meek Chinese workers who accept overwork and lazy Americans who don’t hold up under scrutiny. Tune in Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
