from Heartland Labor Forum · host KKFI 90.1 FM Kansas City Community Radio

It’s May Day and this week the Heartland Labor Forum is celebrating International Workers Day with songs to raise the spirit, an interview from 1997 with Studs Terkel on the history of May Day, a tribute to black folk and labor singer John Handcox and who knows what else. Maybe we’ll even come up with the reason why labor day in the US isn’t on May first. Our feature is Safety First with Mary Erio.
