Monopolies / Resurgent Labor In The South

On this week’s show, Professor Richard Wolff discusses the U.S. Treasury Department’s charge against Apple as a monopoly, Georgia’s state government siding openly with employers against unions, two union members deciding to enter important elections as independent voices in Nebraska and West Virginia, and a critique of the FED’s policy that keeps inflation and interest rates high. Finally, we interview Mike Elk, publisher of the Payday Report, on his views regarding the important UAW fight for union recognition at a VW plant in Chattanooga, TN.
