Labor Lines

Our guest, John Samuelson, is embarking on his fifth year at the helm of TWU local 100. We will learn about his challenges and triumphs; what the union has done to go to bat for its members; the ever present issue of job safety and some recent victories in organizing.  We next interview a young attorney and two staff members from MFY Legal services. They’re on strike - quite reluctantly, but out on the picket line never-the-less. They assert the failure of the MFY’s management to provide adequate working conditions, decent pay and benefits for support staff members has forced the issue.
