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
Last Fall Congress passed and President Obama signed a so-called Pension Reform Act allowing employers to reduce or suspend pension payments to retirees if a pension plan is “deeply troubled.” Teamster retirees face cuts. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum we explore this issue and ask if there will be a domino effect, and then autoworker and writer Tino Scalici reads his short story Huelga or Strike about a lefty Cuban immigrant turned supervisor and the crazy opening day at a not-to-be-named local casino. Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
