The Congress Hotel strikers held a major rally outside the hotel on Labor Day.

Some powerful figures showed up to support the strikers including Rev. Jesse Jackson and Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. Will hear from both of them and a couple of strikers later in the program. Will also hear some voices from the immigrants rights rally held in downtown Chicago on Labor Day and he growing frustration of the immigrants rights movement with the Obama administration. In the second half of the program will get an update on the situation in Honduras as the coup government nears its 4th month in power from Vicky Cervantes and Alexy Lanza of La Voz de Los Abajo.
