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
