Micki Maynard · “Hard Labor” And A Lively Discussion
March 9th, 2011
Collective bargaining rights for public and private sector employees are a hot button issue in our region. On Tuesday March 8, Changing Gears hosted a region wide call-in show and live chat discussing the issues facing workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and elsewhere.
Wisconsin Public Radio’s IdeasNetwork joined Changing Gears partners Michigan Radio, WBEZ and ideastream Cleveland for the one-hour show, hosted by Steve Edwards of WBEZ.

Changing Gears Senior Editor Micki Maynard and NPR’s David Schaper were in the Chicago studios with Steve. We also heard from Gary Chaison of Clark University, Kate Bronfenbrenner at Cornell, Ohio labor leader JoAnn Johntony and Ed Buker, a retired Michigan CEO.
Callers weighed in on both sides of the collective bargaining issue and discussed the economic, political and social issues at play.
