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
We used to call them sailors. Now they’re seafarers who work the ships that transport goods around the world. From the days of mutinies and striking the sails to today they’ve faced brutal working conditions. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum we’ll talk with Samantha Levens, an inspector for the International Transport Workers Federation, about how it protects the human rights of maritime workers throughout our global supply chain. Then, we’ll talk about the Jones Act which aims to protect the jobs of maritime workers. Our feature is Safety First with Mary Erio.
