âThe Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Workerâ
with
NY Times Labor reporter and author Steven Greenhouse

A discussion with Greenhouse about the decline of the
standard of living of workers as a result of a generation
long employer offensive; where workers toil harder
and longer for lower wages, fewer health and pension benefits,
under more hazardous conditions. Weâll explore the forces that
have impacted all strata of the working class creating an
American crisis.

Elections 1948
with
Ronald Reagan
Eric Foner- Prof of History, Columbia University

In 1948 Ronald Reagan, then the President of the Screen Actors
Guild, starred in a Radio program sponsored by the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union promoting the candidacy of Harry
Truman in the Presidential elections of that year. You will hear
Ronald Reagan the then unabashed liberal blasting the Republican
Tom Dewey and the Republic Congress for its anti-worker policies
including the Taft-Hartley Act and for promoting policies which
decrease the real income of workers while promoting huge profits
by the greedy corporations. With commentary by Eric Foner placing
this watershed election in historical context for today.
