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
New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest cab hailing nights of the year, so on this week’s Heartland Labor Forum, it’s a good time to revisit one of the biggest labor stories of the year, the rise of the so-called “sharing economy” and booming start-ups like Uber with its part-time jobs and fewer benefits for workers. We talk to Steven Hill, author of Raw Deal: How The “Uber Economy” And Runaway Capitalism Are Screwing American Workers. Then, we do a review of the year’s top labor news with Mark Gruenberg of Washington Window On Workers. Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
