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 July an undocumented laborer working at night without lights fell 12 floors to his death when the elevator malfunctioned. Ever wonder what other immigrant construction workers face each day or night on the job? This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we’ll talk to three union organizers about it. Then, KC is in a construction boom and needs more workers. But the lack and expense of childcare keeps workers with kids off the job. We’ll talk to Tradeswomen about their campaign for child care. Our feature is Safety First with Mary Erio. Produced by Judy Ancel.
