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
Starting in the 1940s US labor officials worked with the CIA to split militant unions overseas and overthrow neutral governments in an obsessive anti-communist crusade that helped make poor countries safe for the export of American jobs. We’ll talk to Jeff Schuhrke about his book Blue Collar Empire. Then, President-elect Trump raised some eyebrows when he nominated Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, a Republican co-sponsor of the PRO Act, as Secretary of Labor. What’s going on? We’ll ask Rebecca Rainey, Senior Labor Department Reporter for Bloomberg Law. Our feature is Washington Window with Mark Gruenberg.
