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.
Join us for this week’s Heartland Labor Forum as we focus on some of the earliest victims of the US War on Terror – Italian-Americans. We will talk with a leading authority on the contributions of Italians to the Industrial Revolution in early 1900’s America. Then, Peter Fleming, author of The Mythology of Work: How Capitalism Persists Despite Itself says work used to be inextricably linked to survival and self-preservation; now it’s morphed into a painful and meaningless ritual, colonizing almost every part of our lives. He’ll explain this Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
