Labor Lines

Improving standards of work life requires a consorted effort from legislators and grassroots organizers and in these hard economic times, we are seeing both. First, Leticia James, Public Advocate for New York City, discusses the major issues for which she is advocating and explains why it is so important to have someone in the public sphere pushing for these causes. Then, three panelists involved in the wage rage rally that brought together low wage workers from various industries to demand a livable wage and better work conditions, explain what these workers have in common, and what has brought them together.
