LABOR EXPRESS
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Chicago has a long history of labor radio. Some of you maybe familiar with the history of WCFL, Chicago's Voice of Labor - the radio station owned and operated by the Chicago Federation of Labor from 1925 to 1978. The mission of WCFL, as their tagline suggests, was to give voice to Chicago's working people. Unfortunately, WCFL is no longer with us. This is particularly troubling given the fact there has never been a greater need for worker's access to the airwaves. In a world of media monopolies, where six major corporations own and control the vast majority of America's mass media, the space for independent voices continues to shrink. Corporate, profit driven radio has proved itself unwilling and unable to report on the world from the perspective of working people. Chicago labor may no longer have their own radio station, but they do have a radio program that focuses on "News for Working People, by Working People" - Labor Express.
