Building Bridges Radio: Your Community & Labor Report

Produced and Hosted by Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash over WBAI,99.5FM in the NYC Metro Area

WHO WE ARE

WORKERS OF THE WORLD TUNE IN! Introducing "Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report"

Our beat is the labor front, broadly defined, both geographically and conceptually. We examine the world of work and workers on the job as well as where they live. We examine the issues that affect their everyday lives, with a particular sensitivity towards human rights abuses, environmental concerns and the U.S. drive for global domination. We record their global struggles and provide analysis of their efforts to empower themselves and transform society to provide greater democratic, human, social, political and economic rights. Each program consists of feature stories, generally interviews, within a historical context, often accompanied by sound from demonstrations, rallies or conferences, and complemented and enhanced by poetry and instrumental or vocal -- people's culture.

Over the years Building Bridges has produced a weekly one hour program, Mondays from 7-8 PM EST, covering local, national and international labor and community issues over radio WBAI-Pacifica 99.5 FM in New York. We also produce half hour version, Building Bridges National, which is distribtued to over 40 broadcast and internet radio stations.

Cinderella, Snow White, Tinkerbell and other fictional fixtures of
modern-day childhood were handcuffed, frisked & loadedinto
police vans recently at the culmination of a labor protest that
brought a touch of reality to the Happiest Place on Earth. The
arrest of 32 of the protesters, came at the end of an hour-long
march to Disneyland's gates from one of three Disney-owned
hotels at the center of a labor dispute about health care. Disney
is trying to take away health insurance for 2,300 maids, bell hops,
cooks and dishwashers at their three Disneyland hotels. ***********************************************
