January 9, 2012

Laura Clawson (@lauraclawson)  joins Sam to talk about the Republican push to bust unions through “right to work” laws.  In Indiana, host to the 2012 Super Bowl,  lawmakers face pushback from the NFL Players Union giving the effort renewed urgency as Republicans try to beat the February 5th spotlight.  As attacks on workers’ rights continue, members of Occupy Bloomington support striking workers of Indiana Limestone Company showing alliances between Labor and the Occupy Movement growing.   The Occupy movement gears up for J17 OccupyCongress, Romney secures a Federal bailout for Bain Capital, a member calls in with her personal story of the effect of corporate vultures, Ross Brockley reports from primary trail and latest in Clown Car audio….there are some entertaining bites!
