A WIN Special Report (http://workersindependentnews.com):
The union representing workers at the U.S. Department of Labor is up in arms over plans to induct former U.S. President Ronald Reagan into the Labor Department’s Hall of Fame. A former President of the Screen Actors Guild, Reagan boasted at the beginning of his presidency in 1981 that he was the first president of the United States to hold a lifetime membership in an AFL-CIO union, but shortly after set his administration’s anti-union tone with the firing over 11,000 striking air traffic controllers represented by the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization.
WIN discussed these concerns with Eleanor Lauderdale, Executive Vice President of American Federation of Government Employees, AFGE Local 12 at the U.S. Department of Labor.

Special Workers Independent News WINCast report for Wednesday, August 9th, 2017.
On Tuesday, Voters in Kansas City overwhelmingly approved a hike in the city’s minimum wage to well above the state wage, setting up a legal battle with the state of Missouri. Over two-thirds of Kansas City voters approved the measure, which raises the wage to 10$ an hour, with annual increases leading up to 15$ by 2022. The state, however, has other ideas, with Republican lawmakers passing a law earlier this summer barring municipalities from raising their minimum wage above the state-mandated 7.70$ an hour. The new Kansas City minimum wage increase will be on the books for four days before state law banning it goes into effect August 28th. Those behind the ballot measure have vowed to challenge the state in the courts, while other worker advocates in Missouri are pushing for an increase in the minimum wage statewide.
