Summary
America's unions have bet on Barack Obama to initiate a recovery that will revive not only the economy, but the organized labor movement as well. In this program, Bill Moyers and United Steelworkers International's Leo Gerard address topics ranging from economic justice for workers, to the future of American manufacturing, to Gerard's hopes for how unions will fare under the Obama administration. Then, the Journal and Expose: America's Investigative Reports offer their latest on how congressional earmarks really work: a report featuring a crack investigative team from The Seattle Times shows how Congress continues to hide critical information from taxpayers-and does it under the guise of ethics reform. An essay on the Palestinian/Israeli violence in Gaza-self-defense? retribution? terrorism?-concludes the program.
