Bill Moyers Journal

Description

America’s workers need jobs, and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is calling on them to stand up and fight. In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers is joined by Trumka, who offers his perspectives on President Obama’s first State of the Union address and on whether organized labor can grow and generate jobs in the 21st century. In addition, Moyers examines the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on freedom of speech as it relates to corporations and what it means for campaign finance reform—and the future of democracy in America—with progressive legal experts Monica Youn and Zephyr Teachout. A tribute to historian Howard Zinn concludes the program. Broadcast date: January 29, 2010. (55 minutes)
