Labor Desk

The Labor Desk at National Radio Project highlights the struggles of everyday people for healthcare, childcare, livable wages and more. This Desk challenges the false image people have of organized labor and the broader labor movement. The Labor Desk also provides training opportunities for independent journalists and individuals involved in community building activities.

Supported by independent funding sources, the Labor Desk is free to explore and expose government and corporate roles in labor issues. Please support the Labor Desk .
