Labor President Trumka Takes Fight For Workers To Wall Street             
            
The new President of the AFL-CIO Richard Trumka called for tough new
regulations on the financial industry and a new approach to making the
U.S. economy responsive to working people.  Trumka took to the streets
as part of the new  leadership team's national tour to set out a jobs- focused, progressive vision for the economy, and to fight back against the corporate agenda that left workers behind.

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."
