The New Class War on Unions Spreads to Ohio
Following Gov. Walkerâs union busting lead, Ohio Gov. Kasich proposes to nullify public employee unionization rights by taking away impartial arbitration of disputes, the right to strike of ânon-emergency public employeesâ and
protections against privatization of gov't jobs. Despite the demonstration by over 20,000, it was politics at its worst, Republican leaders rammed this bill thru by kicking opposing members of their own party off key committees.

Out of the Flames, From The Ashes: TheTriangle Shirtwaist Fire & Its Legacy
Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Triangle Fire - March 25, 1911
Tune into our tapestry of archival sound, re-enactments â a docudrama of the âflowering
girlsâ who lost their lives in the Triangle Fire, on this hundredth anniversary, of one of the
most important events in the history of the labor movement. Threaded through the sound
tapestry are the haunting voices from the fire intermingled with the poetry and songs that
arose in the wake of the tragedy. Another thread of the tapestry are the voices of
scholar/activists who deliberate on the legacy of Triangle for today - to organize and
unionize, to regulate the workplace and create a safe, decent life for working people, to
attend to the problems today sadly echoing the conditions at the time of the Triangle Fire.
This is a drama of the dilemmas faced by working women, their pathos, & the
importance of the fire, in the annals of workersâ history - ânot to mourn, but to organize.â
