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
This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, St. Louis money bags Rex Sinquefield is behind Amendment 3 on the Missouri November ballot, another state constitutional amendment. It would pay teachers on the basis of student test scores. Teachers, administrators, and parents are joining together against this latest “blame the teacher” “fix” for public education. Then, we explore the new book Parasitic Finance Capital with its author for an explanation of how financiers like Rex Sinquefield and their capital created the world economic crisis that’s now lasted seven years. That’s Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
