Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
As pink slips pile up and Americans are railing against corporate excess, some say organized labor has the opportunity for a resurgence. That would mark a dramatic turnaround for unions, who’ve seen membership shrink below nine percent of the American workforce. Kojo explores labor’s past and future — and previews the looming battles you’ll soon see emerge on Capitol Hill.

- Melanie Trottman Reporter, The Wall Street Journal
- Anna Burger Secretary/Treasurer, Service Employees International Union; Chair, Change to Win labor federation; Member of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board
