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
In a landslide victory, faculty and academic staff at the University of Kansas voted to unionize with the American Federation of Teachers. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we’ll talk to organizers about the issues staff are facing and their efforts to negotiate a first contract. Then, we all know the song “There is Power in a Union.” But have you ever heard the song performed by a German hillbilly band? We’ll play that, as well as alternate versions of other famous labor songs.
