Labor Lines

The so called “economic recovery” seem to be concentrated on Wall Street; the other 99% - on Main Street are still struggling. In this week’s program we focus on two campaigns about making the recovery work for everyone. First, we hear about a series of strikes and job actions that occurred around the country on Black Friday, focusing predominantly on Walmart for its mistreatment of workers. Then, members of the Fed Up campaign join us to talk about why the Federal Reserve has been so disconnected from Main Street. They argue the people should have a voice in Federal Reserve policy.
