This Week in Labor History,an interview about a local struggle and in the last half hour, a discussion about an issue important

to working people.

At 4:15, Monteria Robinson whose son, Jamarion, was killed one year ago by US Marshals at his East Point apartment,  will

describe her fight to get answers about the brutal death of her son. His body was riddled with 76 separate bullets in a frenzy of

firepower by militarized police. The impact of police violence on working class families, especially in communities of color is  a subject

often discussed on The Labor Forum as an issue that requires class solidarity.

At 4:30, we will turn our attention to the union election loss at the Nissan plant in Canton, Ms.  The vicious anti-union campaign

orchestrated by Nissan management with the full participation of state elected officials, business groups and the media was witnessed by

Atlanta supporters who went to Mississippi to help the campaign. The Labor Forum’s co-host, Dawn O’Neal and Atlanta Jobs with Justice

members will be in the studio to describe their experience. We have reached out to Nissan workers to call-in if they are able. The Labor Forum

applauds those workers who defied the enormous pressure exerted by Nissan and voted yes. The struggle continues.

The Labor Forum airs every Monday from 4-5pm on WRFG 89.3FM. We appreciate all those who made a donation during the pledge drive.
