About the Show
Heartland Labor Forum (Repeat)
Repeat airing: 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.
This week on the Heartland Labor Forum: In the 1950’s St. Louis labor leaders Harold Gibbons and Ernest Calloway championed a new kind of labor movement embracing workers as “total persons” fighting for justice as workers and citizens. The alliance of this interracial duo of Teamsters has profound relevance for today. We’ll talk to Robert Bussel about his new book on them. Then how does community policing work in Kansas City? We talk to two inspiring cops. Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
