America’s Top-heavy Economy and Marcella Bencivenni: How Italian Immigrants Shaped the US Labor Movement

Ever wonder why official economic reports don’t match your experience?  We'll talk to economist Heather Long about how the rich are doing so well that it skews the overall economic data. Then, a century ago Arturo Giovannitti was nearly executed for speaking since union organizers were not permitted free speech rights. We’ll talk to Marcella Bencivenni about this working-class hero who helped win us all our rights. Our feature is Labor Song of the Month with Mark Galus.
