Heist production crew in DC
We had the privilege of interviewing the President of the United Steelworkers, Leo Gerard, one of the most progressive labor leaders in the US, who really explains the class war unleashed by the Right Wing when Ronald Reagan took power in 1981. Pres. Gerard told us how they attacked labor unions, and sytematically dismantled key parts of the New Deal which is key to understanding why the financial sector has collapsed and why so much wealth has been stolen from the working and middle classes. Pres. Gerard told us about his union's efforts to create a blue-green alliance as part of the emerging new economy, and his support of President Obama's game plan. Stay tuned for more interviews with psychologist Drew Westen, Senator Bernie Sanders, political economist Robert Kuttner and economist Jeff Faux.
