Health Care Reform or Insurance Industry Rip-Off?
with
Katie Robbins, Asst National Coordinator, Healthcare-Now
and
Don McCanne, M.D., Senior Health Policy Fellow , Physicians
for a National Health Program

Democrats said the sweeping overhaul of the US health care system passed by the US House of Representatives would extend coverage to 36 million people now without insurance while creating a government health insurance program. They say it will end insurance company practices like not covering pre-existing conditions or dropping people when they become ill. But, what sort of coverage will the now to be heavily subsidized insurance industry provide especially without a robust public option? Will they truly end up extend coverage to all those eligible? And, as the debate now moves to the Senate, what becomes of the single-payer option which would cover everyone and cost less?
*************************

Scrooge Bosses Steal From Low-Wage Workers
with
John DeFilippis, Assoc. Professor, Bloustein School of Planning
and Public Policy, Rutgers University
 
Low-wage workers are routinely denied overtime pay and are paid less
than the minimum wage, according to a new study based on a survey of
workers in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.  The study, the most
comprehensive examination of wage-law violations in a decade,
concludes that "the sheer breadth of the problem, spanning key industries
in the economy, as well as its profound impact on workers, entailing
significant economic hardship, demands urgent attention."

Economic Recovery Leaves Workers Behind?

. Avis Jones-DeWeever, Dir., National Council of
Negro Women's Research, Public Policy & Information Center
 
They say the economy may be bouncing back - but not for the workers. Unemployment reestablished its relentless upward climb in August, with the "official rate" rising to 9.7% with significantly higher levels for people of color & young  workers. Unemployment, much of it long term, will likely pass 10% by the end of the year and remain elevated for years. Further, for those that have jobs, wage growth slowed dramatically plus income and assets inequality is getting worse. Predictably, poverty is increasing for the unemployed and even workers with jobs.

Band Aid Approach To Hemorrhaging Health Care System
Continues To Prevail
with
U.S. Congressman John Conyers

 
The economic crisis has increased the urgency for real health care reform now, yet the President and Congress persist in advocating half measures, ignoring the real problem,  the health insurance industry. But, the voices for comprehensive, meaningful reform like Rep. Conyers, whose legislation HR 676, a single payer or Medicare for all bill continue to be raised.  Rep. Conyers makes the case for health care for all at an event honoring one of the most vocal proponents of single payer, Marilyn Clement, National Coordinator of Healthcare-Now!

Do You Want To Get Sick To Your Stomach
Then Think About The Cost Of Being Sick In America 
with
Dr. David Himmelstein, primary care physician,
Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical
School and co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program

A frightening look at a new Harvard study finds that medical problems contributed to nearly two-thirds of all bankruptcies.  Surprisingly, most of those bankrupted by medical problems had health insurance.  Covering the uninsured isn't enough, but unfortunately, Washington politicians seem all too ready to cave in to insurance firms.  We'll also examine the highlights of Sen. Edward Kennedy's draft health care bill, which some say is the most liberal in Congress, and find out if it is.

Building Bridges: Israeli Warfare State with Jeff Halper


Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
                             National Edition
       Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg
                  **************************************
The Israeli Warfare State
with
Prof. Jeff Halper, Director Israeli Committee Against
House Demolitions, Author of "An Israeli in Palestine"
and nominee for he Nobel Peace Prize

 
Halper argues that whichever parties coalesce to form  the
new Israeli government there will be no progress in moving
toward serious peace talks with the Palestinians ending the
occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. Israel has become
addicted to war in its dealings with the Palestinians, in its
economy and society. the Israeli economy thrives on the
export of urban warfare strategy and weaponry. Change will
have to come from outside forces pressuring Israel.

Building Bridges Radio: Stimulating the Economy; Recession Hits Domestic Workers


Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
                            National Edition
         Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg 
                         ******************************
Domestic Workers Hit Hard By Recession
with
Ai- Jen Poo, Domestic Workers United

DMU represents over 200,000 nannies, housekeepers, and elderly care-
givers in NYC.  Now, however, their organization is hemorrhaging members
as the growing joblessness of their employers trickles down to the number
of hires of these caregivers.  Aside, from growing unemployment amongst
their members,the spike in joblessness for those remaining on the job has
fostered competition resulting in wage cuts, increased workload, and
worsening conditions on the job.   Under these conditions, & excluded from
the protections of most labor law, DWU's efforts to secure a NYS Domestic
Workers Bill of Rights is even more pressing.
****************************************
Will Obama's Stimulus Plan Provide Jobs and a
Breath Life Into The Economy?   
with
Arun Gupta, Editor, the Indypendent 
and
William Tabb, Prof. Emeritus of Economics, Queens College & of
Political Science & Sociology, Gradate Center, City University of NY 
 
While the meat has yet to be put on the skeletal frame of President-Elect
Obama's proposed stimulus package, he has revealed enough to cause
alarm for present and future beneficiaries of Medicare and Social Security
and serious questions as to whether it will create "shovel ready" jobs and
whether its tax cuts can jump-start the sputtering economy.

Building Bridges Radio: Rethinking the Infrastructure Stimulus; A Secretary for Labor?


Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
                            National Edition
         Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg 
                         ******************************
Rethinking the Infrastructure Stimulus
with
Stanley Aronowitz,  Prof. of sociology, cultural studies,
& urban education, CUNY Graduate Center, NYC
 
Prof. Aronowitz instructs that the economic crisis is buried
deep within the structure of capitalism and that that even
traditional stimulus packages leave much to desire. There is
common agreement in the liberal community that tax rebates
are ineffective, but Aronowitz also urges us to also consider
that outsourcing infrastructure to the private sector that can
be done directly by government wastes valuable resources in
private sector profits and that labor intensive investment also
produces more jobs for the buck.
********************************************
A Secretary for Labor?

with

Thea Lee, Director of Policy, AFL-CIO

 

Jubilant is the word that comes to mind for the reaction of the

labor community to the selection by President Elect  Barack

Obama of  Rep. Hilda Solis to become the new Secretary of

Labor. The daughter of immigrants, from a union family,

Representative Solis has been described as having a resume

a mile long concerning the rights of workers, women, and the

environment.To provide us with greater insight about that the

new Labor Secretary and the  work cut out for her, protecting,

and extending workers rights in the economy, stopping the

hemorrhaging jobs, and growing the economy we're joined by

Thea Lee, Director of Policy of the AFL-CIO

Building Bridges Radio: Protesting Israel's Attack on Gaza;Aronowitz on the Economic Crisis;Baristas Beat Starbucks


WBAI Radio's Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report
            Monday, January 5, 2009, 7 - 8 p.m. EST, over 99.5 FM
              
                   ****************************************
A Tri-State Protest: Stop Israel's Assault On Gaza

 
Gaza is under attack by one of the most deadly military machines

on the planet - the Israeli military, and, silence in the face of such

suffering is unsupportable for anyone devoted to peace and social

justice. The U.S. government supplied Israel with the military means

to carry out this attack and has generously underwritten the Israeli

government and military with tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars. 

Building Bridges brings you the voices of those piercing the silence

and raising their support for a Free, Free Palestine at a  rally in

Times Square which was several blocks long. 

*********
Baristas Beat Starbucks

with
Isis Saenz,victorious barista,member, Starbucks Workers Union, IWW
and
Daniel Gross, barista, Starbucks Workers Union, IWW &

co-author with Staughton Lynd of the new edition of "Labor

Law for the Rank & Filer"
 
Starbucks calls its employees partners, but when they tried to unionize

it was so long partner.  But, the baristas took legal action against the

company that masquerades as socially conscious and now a judge

has ordered that the baristas be reinstated and receive back wages.

The judge also called on Starbucks to end discriminatory treatment of

other pro-union workers at four Manhattan locations named in the case.

The decision marks the end of an 18-month trial in New York City that

pitted the ubiquitous multinational corp. against a group of twenty

something baristas who are part of the Industrial Workers of the World.
**********
Battling the Economic Monster

with
Stanley Aronowitz,  Prof. of sociology, cultural studies, and

urban education at the CUNY Graduate Center

 
The main news these days is the global economic crisis, an event

ascribed by economists and most pundits to a 'financial' meltdown

caused by the irresponsibility of mainly, but not exclusively, US

lending institutions and consumers in offering-and accepting

'sub-prime' mortgages.  But, Prof. Stanley Aronowitz instructs that the

crisis is buried deep within the structure of capitalism and that there

is little or no prospect that, within the current framework of neo-liberal,

market capitalism, that the deepening economic crisis can be

significantly reversed and a stimulus package bring prosperity. 

But, Prof. Aronowitz opens a dialogue on how the left can wrestle

 the economic monster until it cries uncle.

The U.S. economy has suffered a serious slowdown, with the resulting

Building Bridges Radio: Washington to Detroit - Drop Dead?


Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
                            National Edition
         Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg
                ********************************************
Washington to Detroit - Drop Dead?
with
Frank Hammer, Former President, UAW Local 909,
Warren, Michigan
and
Warren Brown, Auto Columnist, "Washington Post "
 
 
When auto executives and unions leaders came to Washington 
to ask for a $25 billion bailout, they expected a cold shoulder
from Bush,  but got one from many in the Congress as well. Is
the Federal government really willing to take the risk of adding
more than a million auto workers to the unemployment lines
that snake through-out the Midwest?  And, what would happen
to the wages and working conditions of auto workers that
might keep their jobs with the big three companies, or other
auto workers across the region and nation?
