Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
Unions are getting weaker. Legislation passed in Wisconsin in 2011, and Michigan in 2012 struck at the heart of their traditional member base. Even more threatening, says labor leader and author Bill Fletcher Jr., the general public no longer understands or supports organized labor. On this edition, Progressive Radio’s Matthew Rothschild interviews author Bill Fletcher Jr. about why working Americans and unions have lost touch with one another and what might be done to turn that around.
