Laurie Mercier is our host today for this program about labor and politics. We hear about the continuing struggle of progressives in Wisconsin to resist attacks on labor by Republicans and to overcome the temerity of Democrats. We hear from Sandy Pope running against James P. Hoffa Jr. for Teamsters President and how she would democratize the union. We learn just how biased mainstream TV is against workers, and some hopeful analysis suggesting the end of Tea Party power and more opportunities for the Left.
