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
Max Alvarez of the Real News has a new book, The Work of Living. In it, he dives deep into the lives of essential workers and how they survived being essential. He’ll be here this week on the Heartland Labor Forum. Then, in 1969, an NLRB lawyer’s testimony undid 20 years’ of labor-friendly law on card check and union recognition. Was it a mistake or did he intentionally undermine NLRB policy? Today’s NLRB General Counsel is working to fix that. We’ll talk about it with Ian Ward, of Politico.
