May Day Returns to NY & US as Immigrant Workers Rally

6 pm – Midnight: Workers Unite with Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report

We build bridges with the sound of the new civil/labor rights movement as immigrants and supporters rally in NY, Chicago and LA. We’ll hear NY’s labor leaders at the anti-war rally, including TWU Pres. Roger Toussaint.

Globe trot to Mexico, find out why hundreds of thousands of public workers are on the march in Puerto Rico and celebrate with the French working class, who brought the government to its knees. Next we’ll take a Fast Boat to China with Andrew Ross who positions himself in stark opposition to Thomas Friedman’s enthusiastic embrace of free trade’s extremes.

While still in China we’ll find out what Wal-Mart is up to there and examine its challenge to union organizing.

Union contracts, pension funds, health benefits under attack, 44 million US residents without health care what do we do – fight back, fight back; all this and more as Rev. Billy preaches virtual sacrilege with his Church of Stop Shopping.
