UpFront – Jane Slaughter on Michigan; John Burris and Ali WInston on the OPD

We talk to union activists in Michigan, and Jane Slaughter of Labor Notes. Then: a federal judge has just signed off on an agreement that will spare Oakland the humiliation of having the first police department ever placed into receivership — we’ll talk with civil rights attorney John Burris and investigative journalist Ali Winston about what’s next.
