Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For eight years, most labor activists felt shut out by the Bush administration. Now, many expect President-elect Obama to name a Labor Secretary who’ll focus on issues like ethical business practices and the right to organize. Join Kojo to examine the state of worker rights in America, and how one organization is mobilizing religious communities nationwide.

- Kim Bobo Founder and Executive Director, Interfaith Worker Justice; and author of "Wage Theft in America: Why Millions of Working Americans Are Not Getting Paid and What We Can Do About It" (New Press)
