(audio) (A Time for Labor)
That’s Will Attig, Executive Director of the AFL-CIO’s Veteran’s Council… (audio) Hear more on State of the Unions, the AFL-CIO’s podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts. In today’s labor history, on this date in 2009, court documents filed in Boston say Wal-Mart has agreed to pay $40 million to more than 87,000 Massachusetts employees who claimed the retailer denied them rest and meal breaks, manipulated time cards and refused to pay overtime. Today’s labor quote is from "Economic Justice for All," the statement issued by U.S. Catholic Bishops in 1986, which said: “No one can deny the right to organize without attacking human dignity itself. Therefore, we oppose organized efforts such as those regrettably now seen in this country, to break existing unions and prevent workers from organizing.” Union City Radio is supported by our friends at Union Plus.
