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
Once upon a time, you could work for one company your whole adult life, you could make a decent living, and you could buy your piece of the American Dream. Not any more, says Dan McCrory, who started at the phone company in 1973 and has written Capitalism Killed the Middle Class; 25 Ways the System is Rigged Against You. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we’ll find out how Ma Bell killed Dan’s dream and which of the twenty-five is the worst for the working class. Then, AFSCME Local 500 which represents city workers in KCMO has a new president, Reginald Silvers. We’ll find out about him and his plans for city workers on tonight’s show.
