International Women's Day- Bread & Roses edition
March 8, 2011, 11:52 a.m.
International Women's day was originally celebrated in 1911, but less than a week after itâs first celebration on March 25, a tragic 'Triangle Fire' in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working women, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This disastrous event drew significant attention to working conditions and led to the famous 'Bread and Roses' campaign, a slogan attributed to the Lawrence Textile Strikers who carried posters that read, âwe want bread, but we also want roses

March 7, 2011, 5:18 p.m.
This is the full 2-21-11 episode of the Labor Express Radio program.
The past week has been one of those weeks in which I wished Labor Express aired 2 or 3 times every week. There is no way we can do justice on todayâs program to all the important developments of the past week. Of course tomorrow is election day in Chicago and, as promised I will bring you my interview with Mike Klonsky on Rahm Emmanuelâs policy positions on public education. Weâll hear that in the second half of the program.
But the truly exciting news of the past week was the spread of revolution well beyond the borders of Egypt. In the last week pro-democracy demonstrations have broken out in Iran, Libya, Algeria, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Morocco, Djibouti, Jordan, Kuwait, Palestine and Bahrain. Many of these protests have been meet with sever state violence. But despite the violence the protestors have vowed to fight on. And the spirit of revolt is not confined to the Middle East. When Wisconsin Republican governor Scott Walker announced his intention to ram through the state legislature a bill that would not only slash state workers wages and pension benefits, but rob them of their right to collectively bargaining rights, a labor revolt followed, the likes of which we havenât seen in this country in a long time. Weâll hear more about that today as well.
And the mainstream media has conducted a virtual blackout on an interesting court case in Arizona. Last Monday, Shawna Forde a leader in the minuteman anti-immigrant movement in that state was convicted of the murder and attempted murder of a entire Mexican immigrant family. Weâll air some audio from a press conference held here in Chicago by NALACC (National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities) on the verdict.
Labor Express Radio is Chicago's only English language labor news and current affairs radio program. News for working people, by working people. Labor Express Radio airs every Monday morning at 10:00 AM on Chicago's Sound Alliance, WLUW, 88.7 FM. For more information, see our website at: www.laborexpress.org

REAL HISTORY: The Functions Of Fascism (THREE of FIVE)
March 7, 2011, 4:18 p.m.
Parenti says that fascism is a new order and consciousness that served the same old power structure and promised to solve the ills of the many while protecting the interests of the few. He answers in detail who financed the fascist parties and what services the fascists rendered in return. Many of the measures enacted by fascists were frighteningly similar to those enacted today: They include the privatization of state owned enterprises, reduction of corporate taxes and inheritance taxes, defeat of unions, and the suspension of civil liberties.
