    Looking for Work on Labor Day

    On Labor Day 2010, the union movement is becoming a toothless tiger.  As the recession evolves into the New Economy, will organized labor be left in the "dustbin of history?" Also, President Obama goes on the economic offensive, and the political clichés of 2010. (Tonight's 7pm rebroadcast of this program pre-empts Which Way, LA?)

    On Labor Day 2010, the union movement is becoming a toothless tiger. As the recession evolves into the New Economy, will organized labor be left in the "dustbin of history?" Also, President Obama launches an economic offensive at a Labor Day rally, and on TV between now and November, it'll be all political attack ads all the time. We hear how both parties are refining this year's clichés. (Tonight's 7pm rebroadcast of this program pre-empts Which Way, LA?)
